who is the broke girl?

I'm just a broke girl with expensive taste.

After years of unhealthy spending habits and living out of shopping bags, I finally realized that I needed to get my shit together. Broke but high maintenance is just my reality documented in blog posts. My shopping habits (along with student debt) landed me in a very bad place financially, and now, I'm learning and growing from those mistakes while breaking that bad habit. I keep it absolutely real here (unlike many other bloggers). One, I am broke; two, I buy everything that I post about with my own money; and three, I want to teach others how to shop smarter without breaking the bank, along with some financial advice that I've learned along my journey to financial freedom.

Please note: I do like to splurge a little here + there, especially during a good sale. What can I say? I'm a sucker for branding + good quality. Don't judge me.

On a realer note: authenticity & self-love are very important to me and are the foundation of Broke but High Maintenance. If I didn't keep it real with myself, this blog would not exist. I invite you to take this journey with me, and hopefully, you are able to learn something, anything, from my truth.
