I couldn’t agree more. When you love everything, you love nothing. Constraints breed resourcefulness and creativity, while abundance often suffocates both. Boundaries push us to make more thoughtful choices.

Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s style perfectly illustrates this principle. Her wardrobe demonstrates that less isn’t just more—it’s better.

This wisdom extends into every creative domain. When we reach to chase trends or pursue every new idea, we dilute our personal style and creative vision. Instead, working within limitations challenges us to refine our choices and discover innovative solutions.

This!!! I used to think that taste was watching every runway and loving every piece. Now I realize it's about understanding and appreciating then going home to your 30-40 CBK pieces !!

Very good hints and tips! I’ve also started to slow down my purchasing waiting at least 24 hours before clicking buy and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made.

How do you define trendy? And how do you anticipate if you will love something next season?
