The Chairlady

how-moji-styled-it-the-chairlady-101.jpg.jpegLiterally. Lol.

Hey yo! How’s y’all doing?

Thought to share my take on the boyfriend-shirt trend (is it still a trend if it’s been around for years?) with you guys today. This shirt actually used to belong to my boyfriend (now ex). I puppy-faced him (yes, that’s a thing) into giving it to me and here we are. #PowerToThePuppyFace 😀

It used to be a tad big when I first got it but that was nothing Ibrahim (my tailor) couldn’t fix. Everybody needs an Ibrahim!

Borrowing from your partner’s wardrobe is one of the fundamental pillars of a healthy relationship. –Moji Ajibona 2016.

Who else thinks I should start giving relationship tips all up in here??? 😂

Anyway, I paired the shirt with my orange shoes (which I also wore here) for a pop of colour and added my printed purse (which I bought for just N200 and never, ever actually rock) to add some character. I think I just might demote it to being just a make-up purse. 

PS: Can we take a minute to celebrate my first “choker” appearance on the blog? 😀 Didn’t think I was a choker-wearing kinda girl for whatever weird reasons I convinced myself into believing, until I just decided to give it a go. I liked how it added a little extra something to the outfit.

In other news, NEPA has been splendid in my area lately. Could it be because I’m the new Chairlady/Area Mother/Alaga Ibile. Yes, I’m aware of how ratchet that sounds. No, I don’t care. :p

Want to be a Chairlady yourself? It’s as simple as wearing a boyfriend-shirt and setting up your chair throne right in the middle of your street. Look as mean as you possibly can for added measure 😉

Subscribe to my blog for more. 😉

In other, other news I miss my braids, currently wearing this hairstyle and I am officially bored. Thinking of making braids my signature hairstyle. What do you think? *I can hear my edges screaming “Hell No Madam!” at the thought!* Lol

Have a splendid week guys!!!! Don’t forget to leave me a comment on what you think of my outfit. As an aside, please let me know what you think of girls who wear anklets. Me thinks they’re the coolest ever!

*high-fives self* 😁

Thank you for reading. 😘

Love and a lil’ more,

Moji

      Lol @Choker gang. I know you are the Chairlady of choker wearers. 😉
      As for braids, wish I could listen to my edges’ plea but I can’t, sorry babies 😥. Braids are just so affordable and low-maintenance; what’s not to love?

You know I’m a fan of sharing everything. Even toothbrush – contrary to what everyone else thinks! Lol. So yes, to sharing clothes – very fundamental.

      Hehehe @ the chair. My photographer suggested it and I was like, oya now! Yaaaaasss to slaying men’s clothes more! Sometimes I feel sorry for them that they cant wear our clothes. 😀
      I knowww @ ankle ring, I used to have the same fear but as I just found a way to stop caring jare. Mine’s even worse ’cause I have three piercings each on both ears. I just shrug at people who assume I must be irresponsible as a result.
      Thanks for your kind comment Tega! 😘😘 Hope to see you around more 😀😉.

  18. Firstly where did you get the chair , I can’t imagine you carrying it out of your house to the street lol.
    Love the entire look and setup , the purse is too cute you can’t demote it to makeup purse at all.
    I’m a fan of anklets, wore them at one point till people started giving me shit for it, a lecturer seized it so I just mellowed on it.

    1. Babe! I carried the chair out of my house oh. It’s not easy to be a chairlady! Lol.😂
      Thanks for making a case for the purse. It shall no longer be demoted 😀😘.
      Lecturer seized your anklet??? 😬 I know the feeling though, some lecturers can be very annoying. I remember one lecturer back in school who refused to mark my assignment simply because my hair was in short dreadlocks. Had to go tie a scarf oh!
