Every once a year, the fashion scene in Lagos literally comes alive as fashion insiders, creatives, bloggers and enthusiasts troop out in all their glory determined to bring on their A game and serve face. If you guessed the Lagos fashion and design week, you’re absolutely right!
The Lagos fashion and design week is around the corner again, it starts on the 28th which is just two days away to be precise and I know one struggle most people face is that of picking out what to wear.

I remember my first time ever attending fashion week in 2013, I was stomped for ideas on what to wear and I made the mistake of thinking to get styled by a designer because I also wanted to look all put together like awon Lagos fashion big babes.
Thankfully, I had a last minute surge of inspiration and decided to stick with my own original style instead.
I still wore the outfit I got from Chechi Arinze who is one of the LFDW Fashion Focus finalists this year but that was after experimenting with my own clothes.

I think  last year, there was a secret competition on whose hat had the widest brim or maybe i just missed the memo. Hats aren’t just for bad hair days, they make a good addition to any outfit, adds an extra oomph and gives you an automatic cool kid status

Oh and yes! Head wraps too, of course!
