Girl Math

The playful logic that justifies a purchase as effectively free or money-saving.

Jonathan Moreno By Jonathan Moreno

Girl math is the sacred internal accounting where a $20 find that looks like $200 is technically a $180 profit. It's a joke, but it's also the whole Broke But Fancy thesis: cost-per-wear, dupe savings, and 'it was on sale so I saved money.' We fully endorse the math.
