In my opinion there're two different paths you could take.

1. Buy one good light with trigger, speedlight or studio strobe, one lightstand, one softbox (medium or large) and a reflector.

2. Buy a "full set" of cheaper equipment. You could for example check out Yongnuo 560 III + 560 TX , combine it with some cheap lightstands and umbrellas/softboxes and you'll have a lot to play with.

In my opinion they are both good options, but maybe option 1 is better in the long run. You'll then be forced to learn to master one light and when/if you decide to expand you'll have a great base, both in skills and equipment.

I´d also go for the "one good light with trigger" option.
something like the Godox AD600 or the new Pro version (outstanding colour stability and more powerful modelling light) will with its lithium battery will give you many more pops per charge than a speed light and at 600 watts you can either out-power the sun or use lower power settings and conserve the battery even more. Couple up an Octabox or large fold up beauty dish and you´ll have lovely wrap around light that you can use with cheap reflectors for side fill.
