Hi Jill! We all have our own unique budget, and it’s important to shop for the highest quality item within the budget we have set. It’s oftentimes tough to look at a higher-priced item and consider it if we never have before…However, saving up and purchasing 1 item that we love and will last so many years is worth it over buying, wearing out, and discarding many of the same type of item in that same timeframe. You shouldn’t ever feel pressured to purchase anything outside of your own budget, but I do hope you can think about quality over quantity of what you purchase. This might mean finding amazing, high quality items at a second-hand/consignment shop! It doesn’t have to be the exact item we feature. ~Erin xo
