Hmmm if i follow the rules of fashion. I probably commit a faux pas everyday 
Don't have any embarrassing situation. I rock what i wear even if it looks like it doesn't belong in the scene.

u see, thats where most guys (well myself) and ladies differ. what you wear and how you dress up for an occassion is relative or should i say personal. u ladies seem to put so much effort into what you wear and what u look like. and this I'm afraid is where more ladies than guys get it wrong.

Ok, il go but its nothing am embarrassed about
I sometimes wear two different personalities i.e I'l wear totally casual on the bottom say shorts and flip flops and wear formal on the top say, a white man's shirt, a vest and so on. Or the other way round, wife beater on tailored pants and heels.
I sometimes ok, maybe most times wear casual wear to formal occasions. When girls wear dresses and skirts, i end up in tracks.
Once i went to the club, it was 'beach' theme, i went in jeans and sneakers with tee, meanwhile everyone was in bikinis 
At home i do serious stripes, horizontals plus vertical on top on horizontal stripes. Anything goes for me most times so long as it's my thing.
I once went to an Aids benefit party. Celebs and the like and i went in jeans and tee Didn't feel underdressed So long as i was wearing the color of the night and i was there for the cause was all i cared about.
I wear mens kaftan sometimes . In high school, i went to church dressed as a muslim sometimes, the kaftan and veil.

~Going "Commando" while wearing Linen trousers!! Tiny black dots of pubs were peeking out of the Crotch area, LMAO now but it freaked me out when i sat down & wondered "Whats lint doing there"
Lesson Learnt: Never go "Commando" wearing White Linen trousers!!
~My Cousin had a B-day dinner,l8r we decided we'd go to the cinema to watch a movie!! Got to the cinema,bought ticket,was waiting for the Movie to start,so was chillaxed at the lounge area- like 5 mins before movie starts,i got ready to shashay my stuff when i felt something giveway underneath me!! SNAP!! I lost balance as i tried to figure out WTF!! Y'll know by now my company am w/ have noticed something right!! LMAO It was a new Ankle boot,i'd bought from Italy,been sitting in my wardrobe for so long,i thought why not strut it out that night!!don't know to this day what i did wrong,but i had that boot looking up at me like "Nice view" . . "i thought oh well,whats a girl to do?" so i pretended i still had the heel underneath the boot & woobled to the line & seat!! I cringed thro out that movie,delibtrating,how i was going out when the movie was over with all them peeps looking at me walking funny!! Never felt so F-ing Humilated!!Confidence took a dent for the worse when hard as i tried walkin like i didnt have a broken heel,these girls stood out on the pathway made it obvious they were looking at my foot & giggling!!  If looks could kill!!
*Weird thing is i couldnt bring myself to throw the dam shoes away,i like the material,so i had it fixed . . Couple of years later,after i'd laffed over the "Cinema Incident" - i hought yeah i'd wear it again to the Club!! You guessed it!!Broke Again,Both heels this time!!
Lesson learnt:{1} Never Mend a Shoe,No Matter how Much you Love It!!!!
{2} I Always have a flat tucked in my bag Now!!

Dunno what I was thinking but went to the gym wtout my sports bra even tho am really endowed in that area. The trainer started me on warm-ups and maybe realised after some jumps that I was jiggly and doubled my warm up time with more ups and downs. By this time I was gettn some excitd looks from guys and embarassd looks from the ladies. Didint know that the black area was visible thru my shirt till I looked down Gosh. Lemme end by sayn I have more sports bra now than regular ones.  |
