Good morning steemians
Am @saintkelvin17, a very hardworking Nigerian steemian. The topic for this week is top notch as I love it alot. Talking about fashion this week will definitely go s long way in letting steemians know the importance of this community. Am fully a fashion guy because I don't buy flashy clothes for now, am always packaging my clothes as well as myself so that I can stand out like those fashion guys around me.

Is It Easy to Balance Your Comfort While Adopting New Fashion?

This isn't easy at all to me most especially when you really want to look different and you can't afford to do so. Clothes are currently expensive here in Nigeria most especially quality clothes and there are alot of fake clothes in my country which alot of people has bought and they are not enjoying the clothes.

I remember the first day I wore a very wonderful shoe of mine, I wasn't used to wearing such a shoe as I mostly wear black canvas or sneakers. The shoe was adding pains to my feet that very first day but I had no choice to manage it like that as I don't have any other shoes. Luckily for me after the first two times I wore this shoe, o wasn't adding pains to my feet.

Most times I even end up seeing people wearing clothes in which the brand name wasn't spelt correctly, how can somebody be wearing a clothes that has incorrect spellings.

AdidasAbidas
PumaPuna
Tommy HilfigerTomny Hillfigar
Louis VuittonLuis Vuillon
Palm AngelsPalm Angles
BalenciagaBanlinciaga

After seeing all these fake spellings, I end up laughing at loud, my friends use to laugh at anyone around us that buys a polo that has an incorrect spelling, we will use it to nickname the person, for 4 years now we still call out friend Abidas😂😂

Tell us about that how do you Balance your Comfort While Selecting Fashionable Clothes & Shoes or other accessories.

When selecting fashion clothes and other accessories, I always make sure I buy what I can afford and what will last longer for me. Currently I have 5 T-shirts I have worn for more than 4 years, they are quite small on my body now but they aren't very small and I intend to buy new if the bull run eventually happened next year.

I can't be buying something that's too expensive because I will definitely regret my actions ande regrettingy actions shows that am no longer comfortable with what I bought. Imagine buying a particular expensive polo in which the money you used in purchasing it can be used to purchase two more polo and one sneakers. I don't need to spend like a celebrity when am not one.

How Do You Adopt Fashion? According To Season Or Activities!

I don't adopt fashion according to season, though is necessary to adopt fashion according to season but am a guy who attends lots of meetings and am sure I have attended more than 9 meetings this year. I adopt fashion by activities ahead. Am currently the president of the altar servers association in the Catholic Church I attend here in Portharcourt, Nigeria and I attend alot of meetings.

We do have uniform in this association which strictly contains the colors White and ox-blood. I wear this to any meetings we have and is a kind of fashion I admire even though we call it a uniform. I have worn it for more than 5 times this year and the other meetings I attended members don't wear uniforms. I also dress cool to parties as well.

Name Your's Favorite Fashion Accessories That You Wear Mostly?

If is not my blue t-shirt then is nothing else. This is what I always tell my younger sisters. I love wearing this particular t-shirt and I discovered how original and beautiful it is the day I requested someone to take pictures of me wearing this outfit, with his iPhone. I didn't plan for that but when I saw the guy I felt like taking pictures I can post in steemit and till today am happy for having that feeling.

I took alot of pictures with this outfit that day which was in the month of August this year and most of my friends love it. I dress like this whenever we have a huge visitor in our church or on special celebrations. I have dressed like this twice on Christmas day and I don't care about this. I bought this awesome t-shirt in the month of September 2019, I can't forget that. It was very big for me then but I kept on wearing it.

I invite @patjewell, @whizzbro4eva @goodybest and @radjasalman to participate in this contest.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences on balancing comfort while adopting new fashion. It's indeed a challenge to find a balance, especially when quality clothes are expensive and there are counterfeit items in the market.

Your examples of misspelled brand names are quite amusing, and it's a good reminder to be cautious about the authenticity of the products we purchase. The story of your friend nicknamed "Abidas" adds a humorous touch to the importance of choosing genuine brands.

Your approach to fashion, considering affordability and longevity, is practical and wise. It's essential to make choices that align with personal comfort and financial capabilities. The longevity of your T-shirts is a testament to the durability of well-chosen items.

It's interesting to see how your fashion choices are influenced by activities and events, such as your role as the president of the altar servers association. The uniform, even though it's specific to the association, becomes a part of your fashion repertoire.

Your favorite fashion accessory, the blue T-shirt, holds sentimental value and has become a staple in your wardrobe. It's great to have clothing items that bring joy and confidence.

Overall, your post provides valuable insights into your fashion philosophy and experiences. If you have more to share or if there's another topic you'd like to discuss, feel free to do so. Keep up the good work!

Hello friend
It's interesting to know that you highlighted the stress of expensiveness in attaining a desirable brand of fashion that would stand the taste of time and obtain longetivity too. I'm glad you told the funny tale of most brand clothes that are misspelt. Its popularly called "aba" made. I'm glad I stopped by. Cheers

Hey friend, thanks for your comment, you are definitely correct about the actual names of those fake names in clothes.

In Nigeria something will be produced in aba and they will inscribed Made in china. I don't buy clothes that bear fake names.

Hello friend, first of all you have taken a very good pic, the blue colored shirt is looking very beautiful on you and your uniform which you have worn 5 times in white and ox red color is also looking very beautiful. I agree with you. I believe that we should buy expensive clothes only when we feel comfortable in it and can wear it many times, otherwise it is a waste of money. I liked the presentation of your post very much. Wish you good may you always achieve whatever you aim for yourself in life and make the best journey .Greetings from me Have a beautiful day

Am glad that you love the pictures I took, they are just random pictures found in my phone gallery and I intend to snap more pictures in the nearest future.

When we buy expensive we need to enjoy it more do that we don't end up regretting. I wish you good luck in this contest and have a nice day dear.

I don't need to spend like a celebrity when am not one.

This statement really caught my attention due to the current trend in the society. People go beyond their budget to dress like celebrity and be trending. It is important to cut your coat according to your size. Thanks for inviting me and Good Luck

That's the fact bro, just like young guys in the streets who makes hair or do dreads because they love to do it, it doesn't make sense as long as they aren't celebrities.

Thanks for stopping by, I wish you good luck my friend. Have a nice night rest.
