$45.

What about on shoes?

What’s your favorite food to splurge with?
I love going to those restaurants that are really fancy, going with my friends for no special reason other than to get dressed up, catch up and have a good meal.

What’s your favorite season?
Spring. There’s just something about when all the flowers are blooming and the weather is nice.

The first and only car I bought was a Nissan Versa hatchback, so I’d probably be that.
