Check these:
- Is advertising influencing her? — Yes. Advertising and brand signals can drive desire for designer labels.
- What are her motivations? — Yes. Knowing whether she wants status, quality, fit, or just to fit in helps make a better choice.
- Has she compared prices? — Yes. Comparing price and quality with the lesser-known brand is important for value.
- Is she buying at the right time? — Yes. Timing (sales, need, wardrobe planning) can affect whether it’s a good purchase.

Don’t need to check:
- Will her sister like the jacket too? — No, unless Emily’s decision depends on her sister’s opinion or she plans to share/gift it; otherwise it’s not relevant to Emily’s own purchase decision.
