Clothes have the power to transform not only how you look, but also how you feel. - Diane von Furstenberg
First impressions they say count. People mostly remember you by what you wear or how you look. You can choose to be that person that dresses shabbily or the one that dresses well. The choice is yours.
Over the years, I’ve met people with very bad choice of clothes, especially guys. Sometimes I wonder if they didn’t look at themselves before leaving the house.😅
Personally, I’m a very casual person. You’d mostly find me in a tank top and sweat pants. That’s what I’m most comfortable it, especially when I’m going to stay indoors all day. Even though I’m a casual person, I obviously can’t wear my casual clothes to work and other occasions. On weekdays, I find myself in official clothes all week. Most of my mates dress casually to work but I just can’t get myself to do that cos I prefer to dress to fit the occasion.
My number one rule for all occasions is ‘ it’s better to be over dressed than under dressed . On days I have to step out, especially on weekends for a wedding ceremony or an event, I’d most definitely dress up cos my presence must be felt. Can’t go to an occasion looking like a zombie.😂
In Ghana, weekends are for weddings and funerals. For such occasions, I prefer to wear my African wears cos they fit the occasion. You can’t go for a wedding ceremony dressed like you’re going to court. I actually don’t remember the last time I went for a wedding. Over the past few months, my weekends have been very boring as I don’t really have any plans since I’m in a new environment and I don’t know anyone here. You’d most likely find me in my room watching movies , listening to music or on hive doing my thing.
In my room, there’s no need to overdress cos who’s there to see.😂 I prefer to go casual on days like this. Wake up with pyjamas and change into a tank top and sweat pants after I take my bath. When it comes to dressing, I always prefer to wear what I feel comfortable and confident in. I’ve met people who wear clothes and end up fidgeting with their clothes the whole time cos they don’t feel comfortable. I’ve been in this situation before and that was my first and last. If I don’t have the perfect dress for an occasion I’d just stay at home.😅
To conclude, I prefer to dress casually on weekends but when it’s for an occasion, I dress to fit the occasion. I hope you enjoyed reading this, thank you for your time.
