![“[Affordable prices] are important to me. My mother lets me know [if something is too expensive]. With a few dresses, she's, like, "That's too much." "But Mom, it's $59.99." "It's too much." And then I go back and we talk about price points. My family keeps my grounded.” quote by Eva Mendes](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/715/eva-mendes-3656_affordable_affordable-prices-are-important-to-me-my_1831984.jpg)
