I saw a post on laura Ikejis blog and I am just like...'preach it sister',

She was talking about looking expensive.... she gave the following tips.. I kinda switched up the words to fit my 'affirmation'

1. If it doesn't fit right, make it fit...
Don't allow you clothes wear you, if you understand your body and you understand the way the dress 'should look' on you to get that 'danging Fit' then get it fitted, most designers don't do alterations but all the better because 'obioma' does and obioma is kuku cheaper.
adjust the hems, nip the waist , fit the trouser, let it fit right boo.

2. Stick to Plain and Monochromatic styles...
Not that you will now go and wear all black o.. Pair monochrome colors like black and grey with good accessories make you look classy. (Think about Olivia Pope, you know she is always in white or grey or black)...... think about it.

3. Choose good fabric...

You can fake style but you cant fake fabric so settle for good fabric nothing too shiny. Nothing that feels like 'swimming trunk material', all those dresses that 'feel' wrong are wrong.

4. Accessories...

Invest in good expensive accessories,  like a good shoe or handbag. Personally I am not a big fan of expensive shoes but I know I can pick out a nice pair of shoes... As for handbags I settle for Zara, I have upped to Ralph Lauren and DKNY, I am not yet in the LV league... Trust me some of those Zara Bags will cost you less than 15k and they are better than Five 3k bags that will slack in a minute and start to peel of (that thing irks me)... these days there is Susen too, its all over Kongs, buy One... when they ask you were you got your bag tell them it was a gift (all those gbeborun girls).

5.Avoid clothes with too many embellishments..
as they will fade away eventually and look worn quickly. Settle for simple styles. 

6. There is no shame in buying on sale and it must not be from a brand.

Follow Debrasgrace, Kayceebryan, Hayspersonnalshopper, Jand2gidi and Londonpersonalshopper on IG.

Debrasgrace is a Nigerian Store, she has some interesting outfits and they are not ridiculously priced.

Kayceebryan is also a Nigerian Store, she has some nice clothes and they too are not ridiculously priced

The others, shop abroad and ship to Naija... Take advantage of Oyinbo peoples sales...... Signup at Zara, HandM, Harrods, Asos etc... Those people have some nice sales.

Check out Designershoewarehouse, they carry some high street brands for less...

This dress cost me 7 dollars, I have had it for 2/3years, the shoes cost me like 15pounds, that bangle was 1k or less.... I want to believe I still look FAB!!!

Some peoples bag will buy my entire outfit 365times (enough for me to wear all year round)

7. Wear your confidence.

Don't allow amelia oppress you with her Hermes and her Jimmy Choo.... Rock the hell out of your 7 dollar dress and be fabulous in it.

Maybe I'd Rather be FAT.......

Yea, No... thats not gonna work.

I have relentlessly exercised everyday since the 28th of September (excluding weekends).... Kai its such a good feeling, buuuuut my appetite is like dupplerwhopper, I am always hungry, like always, I foooolishly threw my diet out the window, I say foolishly cos I was telling myself that I will work it out... really Ejay?????

My cravings got worse and I just lost control over my portions, so although I was working out, I was gaining weight.....My Target Date is inching closer and my Target Weight is going even farther, Naturally I was almost losing my patience and my will and my shit.......woooooosaaaaah!

I haven't and probably wouldn't stop working out cos its actually a great way to start my day and I'd pick an hour at the gym over an hour in traffic ANYDAY!!!....
I started consciously watching my meals last week, I am STRUGGLING with my cravings and 'always-hungry' lifestyle.... but in good spirits I lost 2kg last week.... YAAAY!! still not where I was before I embarked on that trip.. but I am closer now.

My brother will be having a laugh somewhere but its all good... Poco a Poco...
