lady of leisure
Woman without work
A lady of leisure is a woman who doesn't need to work and fills her time with pleasurable activities—shopping, socializing, hobbies.
The phrase often carries a note of irony or gentle mockery, implying someone pampered or idle: Since she quit her job, she's been living like a lady of leisure.
It can be self-deprecating or aspirational.
