Trust me, that&#8217;s reasonable when you consider a lot of bloggers wear mostly designer merchandise. \u00a0I tend to wear more affordable brands because they&#8217;re accessible to me and to you. \u00a0Even my Valentino purse was a gift&#8230;I don&#8217;t like spending more than $300 on a handbag! \u00a0I prefer a balance of quality and affordability.
