Hi guys, it's been a while since I last made a post in the Hive Naija community; glad to be back.
To be candid, I'm the type of girl who chooses comfort over every other thing. My sis in law was talking to me some days ago; she said that I would rather dress like a boy than dress sexy. I was like so you expect me to wear a tight top and tight jeans when I have nowhere to go?
As much as I love wearing bodysuits, I love my comfort more than any other thing.
I have a very good fashion sense; you can never find a trendy outfit in my wardrobe, or a colored patterned shirt in my wardrobe. I honestly hate clothes that have too many colors and designs on them or even ones that have people's faces on them. That's a big no for me.
My favorite and always-to-go wear is a casual tee shirt with minimal to no design and a pair of jean trousers to match.
I barely wear colored clothes, so you'll only see black, white, nude, navy blue, or dark blue colors in my wardrobe.
People knew me as the girl who doesn't wear other people's clothes 😂. I have a habit of not using things I don't like. People would give me their used clothes, which I didn't ask for, and I would end up not wearing them because of either the design, color, or even how they looked on me. I had a bag where I would keep all the clothes gifted to me by strangers, and at the end, I would end up giving them to others. Most times I used to feel that it would hurt their feelings for not wearing the clothes, so I would try to come up with excuses why I don't want them.
It wasn't easy for me because my aunt stopped giving me clothes. After all, I wouldn't wear them. She had a different fashion sense, and we just couldn't rhyme. I've never worn a snake patterned shirt or even a velvet material before so why gift me something like that?
I dress up nice whenever I'm going to work, on a date, or to church. I only wear my oversized shirt and jeans whenever I'm going somewhere comfortable and not doing too much. I show up to every event looking like I'm worth it. After all first impressions matter a lot.

Growing up, I was so insecure about my size and shape, and I just hated everything about myself. At one point, I would only wear baggy clothes because I thought that I could hide my flaws. I would only wear very big skirts and tops. I was so chubby and short when I was younger so I had a lot of hate comments about how I looked and how most clothes looked funny on me because of my size. Thank God the universe had another plan for me because I grew taller and beautiful and also changed my mentality about how I dressed and looked. It wasn't easy for me to overcome this because people always had something to say about how I looked.
Yes! The way I dress is a reflection of how I see myself today. I am confident, and I love myself, so I dress however I want without thinking about what people might say or think. Dressing pretty and nice boosts my self-esteem a lot.

Thanks, buzzy for the update 👍
That’s the spirit.
I love how simple you were with this. It’s so beautiful to be comfortable in what you wear. I like baggy stuffs too and I prefer to be with nothing when I’m home. But yeah, dress up to slay when you leave your house. Yasss Girlll
Exactly! Glad you agree with me
I like your colour choices on clothes, your dress picture here shows that too and I will tell you that's some cool fashion sense.
Keep loving yourself always, that's the way to go.
Thank you 🤗
You sure do know your style, to the extent of not using others wears gift because they don't suit yours.
Glad you've come to accept and love yourself because people must talk, some will even ask why are you so beautiful as if they are the ones who decide human looks 😂
Yeah, that's one thing I've come to realize and that's just life for you 😅
Good choice of clothing really do boost one's confidence, to me, fashion is whatever you're comfortable in, you do have a good fashion sense.

I'm glad you agree with me 😊
comfort is really amazing and we should always enjoy our comfort
Yh
Quick one: was the face mask picture taken during COVID?
No,2022
Why am i seeing myself through your post? You know i was short and shubby too..okay lemme correct that, am still short you know, that didn't change and the whole shubby dobby too.. I dress as simple as i am with high shoes to follow
I legit thought it was your post before opening it, lol
😅😅... No problem
Really!! Glad you could relate to it on a more personal level 😊
Do people really put on snake patterned shirts and feel comfortable in it? 😂
Whenever the thought of what people will think about me when I wear this cloth starts drifting into my head, I'll always ask myself if it's their money I used to buy the cloth. Did I put on the clothes for them? And where will their opinions lead me?
I'm glad to see that you have such a beautiful perspective on life. Do keep it up.
Oh yes!! I see a lot of them around my area😂
Exactly! Other people's opinions don't matter at all.
Thank you
We will only get sad when we allow people to judge our personality and when it comes to dressing. Everyone have their ways of fashion and just like you, I don't like a cloth with designs on it except on rare occasions I customize it. Aside from that, I love plain clothes.
Very well said !
Wow!! Rare to meet ladies that don't fancy colors. Personally I prefer entering places unnoticed, it's mostly guys thing. Wearing oversize is beauty on its own, I have seen it fit many
Same here, I just hate being the center of attraction
Yeah, it's the way to go😌
