It's not about fashion. My tips

Don’t worry about fashion. Focus on design, proportions, and details instead. Fashion is in the air, so you’ll catch a glimpse of it, but that’s not the main thing. Prioritize pieces that magnify yourself and make you feel beautiful. Look for items that you’ll keep for decades and play with the rest. Identify a detail that represents you—something people will remember you by. For me, it started with a bag, which is why I began designing bags.

You need a few standout pieces; the rest can be affordable finds from places like Zara or other fast fashion labels. Don’t stress too much about your body. Most of us aren’t top models, so accept yourself and discover the shapes that make you feel good. Change and experiment, and you’ll learn what works for you. If you feel self-conscious, don’t hide too much; that can often make you look heavier. Instead, find the right accessories that empower you to walk with confidence.

Be a little different—not too much, but not too little either. Ask yourself: what are you willing to pay for? Focus on quality and good design, and invest in pieces you want to keep for the long haul. If you have a special occasion, splurge a bit, but remember that if your budget is limited, prioritizing is a smart approach. Buy some basic pieces on sale, but don’t hesitate to indulge in the items you truly love, even at full price. Those will be the pieces you wear the most!

5. **Remember to Prioritize:** With a limited budget, make smart choices. Invest in the pieces you genuinely love, as they’ll be the ones you cherish and wear often.
