• “What? The pieces don’t look like they cost that much.”
• “It is really pretty.”
• “The clothes are pretty, but I’d only buy them if they were 1/5 of the cost.”
• “The designs are pretty, but it’s too expensive…the more pricey something is, it’s because of the name brand but just because you buy something at that price doesn’t mean you’ll be acknowledged for it. I feel like people would rather buy high end luxury brands or fast fashion.”
• “It’s too expensive.”
• “Wow, the prices are similar to luxury designers, but is the quality up there too.”
• “The clothes are all pretty, but it’s too pricey. But there are also lots of clothes out there that are ugly and expensive so I guess this isn’t too bad.”
• “The prices are okay, but the designs are not crappy.”
• “It’s too much.”
