Having a fashion sense in my opinion, isn't just about knowing and wearing what's in vogue. It goes beyond joining the crowd or wearing the latest designers. People often misconcept this and thus, they believe they don't have a fashion sense or see the need to. I believe it is about knowing how to put pieces of outfit together, wearing what fits you, wearing what you're comfortable in and just being uniquely stylish.
Another misconception about fashion sense is that you need to be a “rich kid” to have it. People do not bother changing their wardrobe because it's expensive. Yes, being fashionable comes with a price tag but, it's important that we look nice by wearing neat and nice clothes with some sense in fashion. This will help to boost your confidence and aura. Personally, I don't even shop from classy and pricey boutiques because I know my financial capability. Most times, I shop from thrift stores and still, I end up looking lit! 😍
Now, defining my own fashion sense, I'd say “simple but elegant”. This definition was actually inspired by the words of a friend who commented on my Sunday outfit. You see, all my life, I've loved being simple and stylish. Simplicity and comfort is my absolute flair and that is why before wearing any outfit outside, I make sure it's not too heavy because the weather here is relatively hot 🥵. Also, I make sure it's comfortable enough and expresses my personality.
This brings us right to my go-to outfit; a pair of pants, t-shirt and slippers. I like to wear anything pants particularly Jeans (both skinny and baggy). For t-shirt, I like to wear any top that's not too tight or revealing. These are literally my comfortable clothes that has become a sort of niche 😌. On campus or any outings, I wear them all the time and a lot of people have known me for this 😅.
An exception is on Sunday mornings when I go to church. Being a Catholic, it's inappropriate for a lady to wear jeans to church, so I often wear dresses and skirts on this occasion. I also like to switch up sometimes and wear something different like fitted dresses to school but only on rare occasions. Because for me, it's a pair of pants and t-shirt for life! 🙂
Some outfits I'd never wear? Hmm, now that I think about it, I'd never wear jumpsuits. Oh yes, I've never had one but I simply don't like it neither do I think I'd look good in it. Although, I see other girls wear it and I admire the ones it suits best. But nah, it's not for me. Another outfit I wouldn't wear is crazy jeans, I mean those ones that look like it's been ripped of it's life. I really can't see myself putting on those, I'd rather wear the slightly ripped ones. However, I respect those who wear them. After all, it's a free world with distinct senses of fashion. Lastly, excessively revealing clothes. I'm not comfortable wearing those and I don't appreciate too much attention, that's why I'd never wear them.
However, there are some outfits I'd love to wear but can't. An example is boy's clothes like baggy shorts and shirts. Arggh! They're so free and comfortable! Unfortunately, I can't wear them because I'm not a tomboy. The day I tried wearing my brother's clothes, my dad yelled at me and demanded I take them off immediately 😂. Also, I'd love to wear more of hoodies, particularly oversized ones. This was actually inspired by the Korean OOTDs.
But I can't because, I'd probably die of suffocation and heat from this hot weather 😑. Perhaps during the cold season, I will buy more of those. Lastly, bum shorts. Sometimes, I wish I could wear them outside as an outfit but those are personally limited to my comfort zone. I don't know, it really feels weird or maybe it's just not me to wear them outside and I've accepted it, for now.
P.S. This post is in response to the @hive-learners weekly featured topics for week 35 edition 1, on the title; “FASHION SENSE”.
THANKS FOR READING! ❤️
😂. Baggy shirts and pants are so fun though, it doesn't mean you're a tomboy.
Those crazily ripped jeans are just something else entirely.
Yeahh, that's true though. My dad needs to understand this 😅.
I'm telling you! It can be way too extreme.
Ripped jeans is a method of calling the torn clothes,a fashion. !LOLZ. Something that was once the sign of poverty has now become an element of fashion.
Too much revesling clothes.......! It is something that I also wouldn't ever want to wear.
You have added to my info that it is inappropriate catholics to wear jeans to the church.
At the end I must say that you have described the topic quite well. I am requesting a boost for this post. Hope it would be accepted 🙂
Hehe, fashion and steady revamping reality into trends 🤝. That's how so many outfits have come to exist, lol.
I guess, we're like minded on that aspect. Revealing clothes are really not my thing.
Oh yeah, and wearing jeans to catholic church isn't actually banned but it's just inappropriate according to custom, especially on a Sunday mornings.
Thank you so much for the boost, I really appreciate it! 🥺🥰❤️.
Seems like. Hehe.
That's a cool post you have there on the topic
I love this statement of yours... Just because you don't like a particular cloth doesn't make everyother person wearing them bad or something like that.
You have a cool fashion style👍
It's also nice to know that for every fashion you chose, one thing you ought to consider is your physique and should I say Figure😂
It speaks volume
Of course, I agree! Everyone is entitled to his/her own fashion sense and I respect that.
Thank you for your kind words ❤️. Lol, yes... As girls especially, I think choosing outfits according to our figure is important.
You're welcome
It is people like you that make this country hot with all the heat that you are always serving every now and them. You look fire...🔥
I like for a fact that simple & elegant is your style. There's beauty in simplicity and people often failto see that. Ladies that rock it cool look really amazing still, without all that fancies that people always go for.
And also, I think the goal in every dressing is to look good; and modest is good too. However, when discomfort prevails, then that's just self-inflicted pain. You probably need to see a psychologist at this point.
Finally, I shake my head for you all Korean adopts.
Olujay with the words! 😂❤️
Normally, we giving dem hot hot, no dulling! 😅 Last last, this country no go contain all of us.
Simplicity has become a part of me and I like to keep it that way. Whether simple or fanciful, as long as we can look decently good and confident, then it's all cool.
😅 I agree. Looking good and being comfortable is all that should matter. I really can't deal with all the extra stuff, it's a pain in the ass.
Abeg leave us oo 😂😌
eiii... this country no go contain us oh😂
na over-sabi be "extra"
Nothing we fit do
I ask for Discord, you no answer me...🌑

Thanks for sharing you have a good taste 🙂
Awwn, thank you Mr money! 😊

And I like your introduction to the topic, well written. Couldn't agree more with you 😊
Please come and dash me that hood 🥺 remember I'm your sis
Thank you my lovely sis 🥺❤️... I'm glad you love my style and introduction.
😂 Only if you come and collect it yourself 😊.
Haha no problem, I'm coming for it
I love you kind of fashion, but I still think with your stature, a jumpsuit will look really nice on you, it's just the seeing time that seems weird you know what I mean😉
I get that a lot, maybe I should give it a try someday. We'll see.
Thank you for your kind words 😊❤️🥰
Yay! 🤗

Thrift wears are good babe and you won’t be seeing people outside wearing the dress you do. Not like boutique wears that you will see lot people having the same dress.
And at last the way you slay it matters and not where you bought it.
I know right! It's rare to find people wearing the same clothes as you when it's thrifts... Exactly, it all depends on how we slay it.
You are indeed a simple but elegant fashion young lady 💃. I love your choice of outfits and as I can see, they look good on you 😍😍.
Some people only buy clothes at popular clothes marts having the mindset that only marts sell quality clothes but that's not true. Most times, you will be surprised to know that a dress admired by all was bought in a shop at the roadside 😅. Most people don't look at the clothes you wear but how it looks on you.
Hahaha 😅😅😅😅
Just like the name implies, but still a lot of people have it in their wardrobe. It's their choice and no one can tell them to stop wearing it. Everyone has their style.
Thanks my sweet mama, I'm glad you love it 🥰❤️.
Oh yes that's true, thrift wears can be of decent quality too. As long as we know how to style them properly, we'll still look good regardless.
Yes it's their choice and I respect that.
Thank you for stopping by! ☺️
It's a pleasure 😘
I like your fashion sense, I see you like classy, comfort and stylish 👍❤🎀
Going to the university I know looking good is expensive, so I looked for other good means (likes making hair and conducting tutorials in school) to generate funds so I can buy good material and make unique cloth for myself.
My neighbour back home was going to a big fashion school and we where very close(May her gentle soul rest in peace) I do give her the materials I bought from the market and she would make beautiful and unique styles for me. When I take them to school, I do get lovely compliment of how good I look.
When I was out of school I would go to cloth stores that brings in designers cloths, I would buy one make friends with them so they can inform me when they are on sales to enable me buy the cloths at a very cheaper rate. Don't tell anyone I told you my little old secret 🤐 🤣👍
I love ripped jeans, but some of them are ripped off to wear out.
Thank you ma'am 🥰❤️...
😂 You must be a really fashionable woman and I think those were decent means of making money. It's natural for us ladies to wanna look good. Though I prefer to buy the ready-made clothes.
😂 Really? That's hilarious but smart.
😅 Okay I won't 🤐
Ripped jeans are cool but I'm not a fan of those extreme ones.
you look like a fish in that native gown, that smile is charming and contagious😊, meanwhile i think you should try that baggy short and shirt, you don't have to be a tomboy to wear that and what people say don't really matter, i think you would look great in it❣️
God abeg 😂🤲... a fish?? I don't even know if this is a compliment or you just dey yab me 😏.
Okay, now you had me smiling like a fish 😅☺️❤️. Thank you Burl!
Asides the tomboy reason, na money I dey find... When I see, I'll definitely stock up my closet with those baggy shirts and shorts 😍.
lol na better compliment hun😉, glad i was able to put a smile on your face😁
hmm true that those outfit cost a lot, i believe hive will give you the money✈️ it is a matter of time❣️
Okay, I'm relieved 😅. Thank you... Oh yes, I believe so too. 💕
You have a really good sense of fashion my dear, sometimes even though we love these things we just have to stop ourselves from wearing them and just stick to the ones that we love and it's okay anytime and anywhere.
But of course you can wear them at home, it feels so much better to you because you won't have anyone looking at you somehow and you will feel comfortable also.
Please you will give me that hoody sha 🥺, it looks really good on you and I'm sure it will be fine on me too, lolz.
Thank you my love ☺️❤️... Sure, it doesn't really matter as long as we can still wear what we have comfortably. And yes, I'm very fine with wearing them at home.
😂 How we go do am now? Merit asked first oo... abi una go share am? Sha when you both come to my house, we'll discuss it further 😅.
You're welcome my darling, truly as long as we feel comfortable in what we put on, it is mostly okay.
Oh I see, @merit.ahama you still dey beg? I thought begging was for only those of us that are looking for helpers? Well, I think when we meet in your house the matter will be discussed but until then, court!!!! Arise 🙄😏.
🤣🤣🤣
This girl ehn
I don't have strength for you abeg
Let's just wait until then
Exactly why I said court arise because I don't want to stress you 😁
Thanku
You're welcome 🙂
😂😅 this case has been adjourned. See you both later in court.
Yes oo, we will see you soon Ma'am 😅😅
I love hoodies on jeans, they look cool and simple to me, but I had rather go for light hoodies than ones that will suffocate me. We should dress simply and elegantly and make sure it speaks well of who we are. You look good on both native wears and gowns and I love the ones I see here.
Oh yess, hoodie and jeans are a great combo. I also think lighter hoodies are better, especially during the heat. I might as well go for those this time.
Thank you for your kind words 😊❤️, I'm glad you love them.
It´s my pleasure too.
Lol,i guess we have the same dress sense. How did I come on here? My niece is my life saver, whenever she'ss around she allows me make use of her phone.
Awwn really? That's nice babe 😊.
It's good you have your neice to help you out in this time, I really hope you get a new phone soon. So you can be back to being fully active here.
I honestly can't wait too. Thank you for your concern, it is highly appreciated.
Hah... In this day and age, you can rock whatever you want and still kill it. You don't have to be a tomboy to be able to wear baggy outfits. After all, it's your comfort that's the matter here.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
I certainly agree, it's the trend now. Seeming like a tomboy isn't the only reason. Perhaps, when I've got enough money to stock up my closet, I'll go for those 😊.
It's my pleasure, thanks for stopping by Bruno! 💕
