What Does Your Inscription Say?

I love clothes that look good on me as long as no one else is wearing them #stylenottrend and in my quest for being different in my fashion style, I learnt a big lesson but thank God I learnt it early enough. I was 15 when I realised that what is inscribed on your outfit goes a long way in defining who you are.

I was in SSS 3 at the time and we(the girls) had the habit of wearing our fancy long-sleeved tops on our uniforms under the disguise of a sweater (you are bae if you did this). On one of those days of forming fresh with our mufti, I wore a blouse that had 'bonkers' inscribed on it not knowing what bonkers meant not like I cared to know, the top was shaa fine and that was all that mattered until Uncle Chuks (my english teacher) saw me and said "Odusola (in the tushest way I've ever heard anyone call it), are you going bonkers?" I replied "Sir?" he said, "Your blouse" and I looked and said "Noooo (the usual response of an accused teenager)" then I followed him and said "Sir, what does it mean" and he said "check your dictionary" but I didn't have one present so that became my first assignment. As soon as I got home, I took out our big Oxford dictionary and checked, what I saw shocked me, "mentally unbalanced; mad; crazy". I was awed by my discovery and stopped wearing the top regardless of my love for it. Why would I wear something that's saying I'm mentally unbalanced? I'm a deep person and I take things very seriously hence I'm very careful about what my outfits say to me and the world at large.

For the past years till date, I've observed a lot of people and discovered that most of them don't know what their inscriptions say and even if they do, they just say it's not important. If you're reading this and you are like my 15 year old self before the discovery, you need to change your mindset because what you wear is who you are and I'm not speaking style this time. I've seen "my money grows like grass" being worn by people who don't look like it, don't get me wrong though, it's good to speak positive into your life but does your money really grow like grass? If it really does, you can drop your pin as a comment so I'd add you up and you'd send some to me, if not, stop deceiving us. I've also seen "I have a dream", it's a good one but do you really? If asked, would you talk about your dreams without stuttering?

Dress as you deem fit but we should be mindful of our inscriptions as they say a lot about us and might even affect our lives without our realisation. We should endeavor to buy what we can be proud to show off and answer to except of course, you're wearing your favorite celebrity's shirt or for a special program or your name customised on it. Your inscription matters way beyond your imagination.
