It is not often the people who wear the most expensive items we consider fashionable. Some of the posts we’ve liked on social media have people in outfits that appeared to fit their body type. Believe me, it’s always better to wear clothes that fit, than to get clothes you want to fit into.
If you have bought clothes just because they were costly or for validation and trends, you would probably continue to buy clothes to please people, and you deserve better than that.
Fashion is constantly in motion, and it’s alright to hop on trends, but the only way to have timeless class and stay good-looking is to discover your style and own it.
Good luck!
