Fashion means a lot of things to different people, it's a way of life, because it's how we express ourselves, sometimes in form of character, mood or the occasion involved.
Growing up, as early as 4 years I can remember my mum telling me I always liked choosing my kind of cloth or dress to wear, like pairing a particular top to a skirt or trouser, at a point she gave up on choosing clothes for me, all she did was to get decent clothes, and i was left with to choose how I desire to wear my clothes even on a Sunday to church because I always ended up with a right attractive decision. Also there were clothes left untouched that I ended up giving others who really appreciated them, since I don't like them even though they thought it looked beautiful, i guess that is where personal taste in fashion or fashion sense starts from.
My comfortable clothings
I'm comfortable wearing almost all kind of clothing the world has to offer except the weird looking ones and some others I will be writing about later, being able to recreate a style myself and sew my own dresses has been of a great advantage to me, and it mostly depends like I stated in my introduction on my mood also the occasion invoved,
my casual outfit could be a fancy top and jean, or any comfortable pair of pant, a gown, mostly kneel length.
If it's a party/owambe involved, my well sewed stylish and classy looking lace, ankara, George and the likes material with a big beautifully tied headgear, also known as gele goes for me.
At church, I'm restricted to coperate wears, as an usher in church, which could be a gown shirt and skirt, or a suit, then on first Sundays, i can dress the way I like, modesty being on focus, mostly, native clothes are usually appreciated this particular Sundays,

I'm very very comfortable wearing them as it also a form of advert for me, most dresses/clothings i wear always bring clients to me, they love what I wear and want to sew for themselves too. I'm always on my A game in this aspect because I have people watching out on improving themselves and styles just looking out on what the tailor in church is wearing.
The clothes you Will not find me wearing
Boring Wears
I don't like boring dresses , no matter how moody or sad I am, i can't be found wearing clothes that doesn't fit, or looks SU like, SU meaning, there are some over religious folks that wear bogus skirts and top, your clothes are meant to be modest and fitted not the other way round.
Over revealing outfits
I'm not a fan of over revealing outfits like wearing a bum short on the road, i could wear it at home, indoors in my room, i don't think it's an outfit that needs to be worn outdoors, especially on the street of Lagos, any cloth that reveals the private sensitive parts of the female body that needs to be covered up is a no no for me too.
If I had the means, i would love to have a diamond studded mermaid dress for my upcoming BIRTHDAY photo shoot just to make myself happy, and add it among my collection of clothing, although I can't afford it now still that doesn't stop me from being happy and I can still make myself a beautiful elegant dress I can afford.
