<p>I had already prepared to take some days off from the authorities, telling them I won&#8217;t be able to attend the cultural day. It was the same day as my dad’s programme. Good for me or bad for me, the cultural day was moved a week ahead, it was impromptu and I hadn&#8217;t even planned on what to sew, wear or anything. I told the girls in my group to make Bantu knots and sew oyonyon so I figured.. well, I have to do same.<img src="https://dodeyescorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/fcdc82ff-0c5d-4c6b-949e-23ae3565dd52-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-488"></p>
<p>I ran to my tailor, God bless her soul and told her I do not have time, a style or fabric for oyonyon. Cos people usually use pretty laces. I gave her my Ankara fabric and told her to use that, gave her a little description of what I want and pleaded with her to get it ready on Friday.. this was Tuesday.<br />

She called me saying she wants to add another fabric and just use my whole 3yards for the gathers so that I can loosen it and sew something else when I’m done. And YASSSS! I was excited cos where am I wearing oyonyon to again?<br />
Ladies and gentlemen I went to size my gown and I fell in love. Just look at me, I never “expererit”<br />

Then my Bantu knots and makeup by @pritiesarah on ig just made me look perfect.<br />
I&#8217;m not even joking when I say I got a lot of people asking for selfies, now I know how celebrities feel. I didn&#8217;t carry my permanent maker to sign autographs.</p>

<p>Thank you for reading<br />
Will you ever try this look? What do you think? Is it traditional enough?</p>
