Please, whatever is going on in your mind, don't laugh at the pics just yet! I can explain!
You see, I was invited to come give a talk in an Anglican Church and so I wore my top (That you see in the picture) and a pair of black denim pants. In my mind, I was so sure I was properly and of course decently attired! Only for me to get to the church, some of the women in the church almost had a stroke! I was really wondering why they were speaking in whispers. Not until one of the women summoned up courage and told be nicely, "The women in the church do not wear trousers, not even the young girls". Wow! That was quite a blow!
Of course, I couldn't go back to where I am coming from, not after crossing 7 seas and 7 lands. They either had to deal with my clothing or give me something nice that would fit my top! A woman volunteered to get something for me to wear. Hmmm! I studied her from head to toe, wondering what she was going to get for me (definitely nothing similar to what she was wearing, I hoped!) *covering my eyes in shame*
I waited patiently for close to 20 minutes, only for the 'good samaritan' to return with a brand new 'wrapper'...Ok, am I supposed to get excited because it is new?! For crying out loud, how was the wrapper and its flowery prints supposed to match my top?! But you see in this life, beggars ain't got any choice!
So the result?...Is what you see!
If you think the outfit is awful, I really don't care because the women in the church thought I was simply and beautifully dressed! Lol!
The combination wasn't so bad, so far you only wore it during and within the church premises and the women were pleased. What really matters is that you empowered them with your message/ lectures. Well done girl
ReplyDeleteRolling on the floor laughing out loud! Chidi no go kill me, anyway, nice combo! Next time you get an invite, make sure you research about your target audience.
ReplyDeleteChidinma, you had the option of being heady and insisted you wore your denim. It nice that you didn't go down that route. At the end of the day, what matters is that you got the audience to listen to your message.
ReplyDeleteAs for the outfit combination,hmmm........if your audience was pleased, then its all good!
I can't stop laughing! But to avoid such incident in future, always have extra clothing. Nice piece...
