STRONG CASE

Every bag has such an overt personality now: ladylike, vintage, rocker. At my age, they all make me feel like a victim. With my line, Jennifer Alfano, I wanted designs that are structured but not uptight, that look youthful. Plus they're functional. Designers often trick up their bags, and forget

that they have to work.

SELF-WORTH

I now know to steer clear

of things that I love but that don't belong on me-like the Marni apple-green leather biker jacket that I ended up selling. What I want are things that I can wear to death, put away, then bring back out again. My black lace Rochas suit, for instance. I don't care if it's out of style by the time it reappears; I just want whatever I buy to be good enough to keep.
