Your "Naija" body....That's ...Lol.... Your "Naija" body....That's funny, but I know what you mean. And thanks for the compliment. It's kinda fun wearing traditional to events with lots of non-Africans in attendance. They're always so fascinated. You start talking about the clothes and the culture and it turns into a mini-lesson. It's like you're a cultural ambassador..... :)Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10327824221408517168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778500583635406713.post-89766940535251517062010-08-24T12:34:57.744-04:002010-08-24T12:34:57.744-04:00PS - you look great in traditional!PS - you look great in traditional!Good Naija Girlhttp://goodnaijagirl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778500583635406713.post-86819957610379451822010-08-24T12:34:27.029-04:002010-08-24T12:34:27.029-04:00Oh, I feel you!

On the odd occasion that family members would send my sister and I back clothing sewn for us, because I'm a big girl, they'd send me shapeless, mumu-like garments so I never wore them because I thought they did nothing for my body shape except make it look bigger.<br /><br />I always encouraged my parents to wear their well-sewn and nice fitting garments though (not that they needed any encouragement), and I have to say that Canadians love to see outfits of other cultures...you never feel conspicuous when you're dressed in your native here!<br /><br />When I went to Nigeria in 2008, one of my goals was to <a href="http://goodnaijagirl.com/nigerian-clothing/" rel="nofollow">come back with nice fitting garments</a>. I got a few but um...they were made to fit my "Naija" body...which means about 5-10 pounds lighter than my regular weight so they are um...a little snug now. ;)Good Naija Girlhttp://goodnaijagirl.comnoreply@blogger.com
