Nightmare on Armitage Road

As embarrassing as it might be, I have to admit that this is my first time ever dressing up for Halloween. I grew up in Nigeria and Halloween is an alien concept to us. We don’t dress up, go trick or treating, none of that. Come on, the country is scary enough as it is. […]

As embarrassing as it might be, I have to admit that this is my first time ever dressing up for Halloween. I grew up in Nigeria and Halloween is an alien concept to us. We don't dress up, go trick or treating, none of that. Come on, the country is scary enough as it is.

ADR stated, perhaps jokingly that 'It's not fashion if it's comfortable'. Have you ever picked out an outfit whose sartorial elegance you are so sure of? Call it 'feeling yourself'. You know you look so good that nothing anyone could say during the day could convince you otherwise. Have you ever achieved that feeling by rounding off your look with a pair of flats? I'm talking pumps, loafers, and the like. If you have, good for you! This means your fashion loves comfort. This also means that your feet suffer less pain, less corns, less general discomfort. Health and safety points.
