Living in Lagos affects my style by restricting my freedom to wear what I want to especially when it comes to the length of clothing. I live in a country where you can be called names for wearing shorts on the road and looked at funny for sporting a certain type/color of hairstyle.
I’m from a country where the heat level has already wiped out any dreams of experimenting with layering. You want to keep it, simple least you have a heatstroke
I won’t say I’ve found ways around it because I still don’t wear shorts on the road and the constraints from the reasons I gave are still there but I basically try to not let myself be bothered by the stares and make the most with what I have.” – Cassandra Ikegbune (www.cassiedaves.com)
