The friends of Economic Central want a new image, a new look, and a new attitude. Kayla K. and Zyler Z. are taking an invested interest in the way they look. Although they would like to have designer clothes, they realize
that they must stay within the budget they planned with their parents. Both friends understand that buying stuff that you can’t afford is just showing off. By comparing prices, you can find good quality and affordable prices that
