This has to be some April Fool's Joke or something!


The offending pieces of clothing...


So I'm in the Foyer right outside my class, gisting with fellow classmates ,like fellow classmates should, you know trying to be social. One of my friends passes by. In all fairness to her, she's a sweet person and all but she uttered a statement that just got the other half of me all awakened up.

"Bumight, why are you looking all nice and all, we know its because of superbrain"

say what?!

Then another sweetheart (dude) of mine cosigned

"yeah, u coming to school all blinged out and all..."

"we know, everyone's been talking about it, ever since you started studying with them...yeah yeah, I've never seen the hair in curls before..."

mogbe!

is that how to tell me you like my hair? I FREAKING HAD A DINNER EVENT ON SATURDAY IDIOT!

I was just shocked speechless. For her to say that, I know my people, that's what they all think.

No apologies to anyone, but I do like to dress up. I mean if I'm going to be in school all day and most of the night, where am I going to dress up to if I don't dress up to school? As if life is not depressing as it is, should I now start dressing as depressing as it is?

my people ask me what I wore?
a black top, a polka dot camisole, blue jeans and black boots.

shikena!

Funny thing is that I've worn the exact same combination to school but nobody said anything. I know people think that I like to dress up, and YES I DO! but don't even suggest that I'm dressing up for no man!

I dress up for myself! (u are permitted to roll ur eyes ) it makes me feel good about the day if I feel beautiful doing whatever the day has to offer. I know everyone says that, but its the honest truth. I love coming up with new combination of clothes, and I feel elated when I come up with one that rocks! I feel even more excited when I get compliments about my achievements. I've been like this since forever! Yes, I love the attention (I never denied being vain :)}, it does not matter where the attention comes from. Infact, I feel even giddier if the attention comes from a female, and no thanks! I'm no le-le.

This is not the first time someone is telling me that I "dress up" to school, but this is the first time someone is telling me that I'm dressing up because of a guy!

you all have not even seen nada! Summer, can you please hurry up?
UPDATE
so I got feedback that the comment was as a result of my hair. They said I've been "doing" my hair lately.
oshi ati iranu!
I got out of my naija braids like 3 weeks ago, got a touch up and then I've had curls for about a week now. Apparently that is too much for them to handle.
Actually, I'm secretly smiling cos I'm such a hair person. I get a high from people telling me that my hair looks good. :P

Don't mind them, instead of them to pay u the compliment that u look nice and shut up. Keep dressing up if it makes u feel good.

desperate lady said...

U Go girl....do ya thing n let people keep hating. u have nice hips o........just saying!

OMG. get the hell out of my head..I constantly have to deal with this everytime...dressing up for me has nothing to do with anyone, its my state of mind..I like to feel comfortable. sometimes I wear heels if I want other times I dont..sometimes I wear combnation of colors that people will think will not Go, but it works for me..I have this "friend" who constantly whines about how I dress too much to school and you can see the way she looks at me when i come into class...I mean am sorry I am to damn fly and your middle school fashion sense cant match up to mine...let her do her and imma do me...
sorry, this issue gets me riled up...why the fuck is it anybody business what I put on...na dia papa buy am? lol

Zayzee said...

Ms. emmotions said...

hehehe,

maybe they over did the april fool's day thingy

lol
just ignore them pluzz

Naapali said...

Bumight no vex oh! you know the average Naija person likes to dress well and more so than most people, the opposite is true for our fellow Americans, so maybe their reference for comparison is different.

bumight said...

@sting: thanks jare!

@DL: now, I'm blushing!

@Zephi: yeah, i get that with the colors too. some people just compliment u, others just flat out hate on you! and I dont even wear heels to school, maybe its high time I introduce the class to my shoe collection :) *evil grin*

@uzezi: thanks babes!

@ms emotions: I know my people, they like to talk and make links where there are none, but Imma brush them off.

@naapali: my vexing doesn't last long (just about the time it took to put the post up), you know some of them think that the naija boys (2 of them) dress up just because they wear dress shirts on jeans and drivers?
their reference for comparison is def. different.

Joy Akut said...

we always have the haters around girl...bask in it jare, at least you're noticed..lol

no one need roll their eyes at your dressing for you comment. i dress for me too ,whenever i feel supa good with my outfit, i always feel supa cool inside and thats what matters yeah? be it in a jean or a dress or buba(overdressed or underdressed)

Nine said...

Babe,na because say you dey yankee o.For Naija woman student doctor no dey wear shokoto.And jeans?Abomination!

They do look nice though:)

bumight said...

@nine: For Naija woman student doctor no dey wear shokoto

are you serious? I mean especially in my first and second year why can't I wear jeans. I'm going to be in class, where I don't have to go anyways, and then I go study.
of course jeans is a no-no when you're going to the clinic, but there's really no sense in restricting what you can wear in your pre-clinical years. some people even come to school wearin scrubs!

Nine said...

Try it.The likelihood of unforseen "accidents" occuring in your academic career goes up drastically,particularly if you don't have some mega influential godfather hovering over you.

Nigerian consultants(you call them attendings) are a law unto themselves.And they answer to no one.

Let me point out another curious fact:law students have to wear black and white to lectures.Have to.Under threat of sanction,official and otherwise.Count your blessings:)

bumight said...

I know that law students have to wear black and white, business students here do something similar (wear suits on particular days).

Nigerian consultants dont even have to be laws unto themselves, its more professional to dress formally to the CLINICS so no jeans, hoodies et al. I get that. same thing applies here, but to class. Heck! class isn't even mandatory so why should you have a strict dress code.
If it applies in naija, then that's jst an example of focusing on mundane sturves and leaving the real important ones.
