I learn everyday, my opinions change constantly so if you feel you could judge me based off a past idea or deed, consider that person dead and gone

Once you learn how to shop directly from China, E.g Temù or shien your wardrobe changes completely. Call me cheap I don't care I ain't rich, I don't do fraud.😭

It's knowing what to search for.

Here's my style after making plenty of mistakes.

1. T-shirts:

Skip 100% polyester unless you're buying gym wear.

Instead, search:
• 100% Cotton
• Combed Cotton
• Heavyweight Cotton
• 240-300 GSM Cotton
• Premium Cotton
• Mercerized Cotton

The heavier the GSM, the thicker and more premium the shirt usually feels.

2. Jeans:

Denim Jeans
Temu is surprisingly good for denim if you know what to search.

Search:
• Denim Jeans
• Cotton Denim
• Raw Denim
• Selvedge Denim (if available)
• 98% Cotton + 2% Elastane
• 99% Cotton

Avoid jeans with high polyester content. The more cotton, the better they'll age and feel.

3. Body-hug clothing:

Search:
• Ribbed Knit
• Modal
• Viscose Blend
• Cotton-Spandex Blend

They hold their shape much better than cheap polyester.

4. Hoodies
Search:
• 400 GSM
• French Terry
• Cotton Fleece
• Heavyweight Hoodie

5. Chains
Search:
• 316L Stainless Steel
• Titanium Steel
• PVD Gold Plated
• Vacuum Plated

These are far more resistant to fading than ordinary fashion jewelry.

6. Earrings
Search:
• 925 Sterling Silver
• 316L Stainless Steel
• Hypoallergenic
• Moissanite (if you're buying stones)

7. Scarves
Search:
• Mulberry Silk
• Silk Blend
• Cashmere Blend
• Wool Blend
• Viscose

Avoid the shiny, thin polyester scarves if you're after a premium look.

8. Loafers
Search:
• Genuine Leather
• Cow Leather
• Full Grain Leather (rare but worth looking for)
• Rubber Outsole

9. Sneakers
Search:
• Rubber Outsole
• EVA Midsole
• Breathable Mesh
• Leather Upper
• Stitched Sole

Pictures lie a lot

The description usually tells the truth.

Here's how I shop:

1. Read the material composition before anything else.

2. Sort by Most Orders or Best Selling, not cheapest.

3. Only buy products with lots of reviews or pictures or even better when a Nigerian has purchased it before they always tell the truth.

4. Read the 1-star reviews first. They'll tell you what the seller won't.

5. Look at customer photos, not the product photos.

6. Check the weight of the product. Better quality clothing is often heavier.

7. Read the size chart. Don't assume your Nigerian size matches.

8. If the title has words like "luxury," "premium," or "designer" but the material is 100% polyester, not everything but still move on.

Your best friend isn't the product picture.

It's the material, the reviews, and the customer photos.

That's how you separate the gems from the junk.

I hope this help.

Things are to expensive for a country this poor.

@mazichimi @DurkioWiz Mazi is very intelligent

[Elspeth Gray @PreciousOkpar16]

@Van98808943 @Unabombaar Honestly like why shouldn’t a person be free to share their honest reviews on foods. This respect thing will be the end of Nigerians

[Elspeth Gray @PreciousOkpar16]

@DenikeOlori It is helping me right now to heal so I won’t say that it was negative, if I could do it again, I would

[Elspeth Gray @PreciousOkpar16]

@DenikeOlori survival mindset, coming from a place of lack and first daughter complex, I felt I could lose everything if I spent a little so I built a life of turning plastic cans to champagne glass and since I am used to getting no aid from peeps, I either invested or gave away to people

@ViralRznn @enwere_favour I wear wigs and makeup and I lift heavy af and stay more than 4hrs… I’m not inconvenienced in the slightest

[Elspeth Gray @PreciousOkpar16]

@OlannaOli @DwinTheStoic Thank you

[Elspeth Gray @PreciousOkpar16]

@ektabhargava11 @Symply_rhoda1 This helps me and yea I don’t experience any slight pain when I exercise

[Elspeth Gray @PreciousOkpar16]

@Katistrophe1 @Symply_rhoda1 I tell people this and they think I’m blabbing because I don’t experience pain, anytime I experience even a slight discomfort, I just know that my exercise leading up to that moment was almost non existent

[Elspeth Gray @PreciousOkpar16]

@choudharysupri1 @Symply_rhoda1 I came to type exactly this. I don’t experience pain so I go about with pads, black clothings and monitor my movements during my luteal phase incase. It has happened three times at the gym this year, luckily I had pads and wore double clothings. It’s super stressful

[Elspeth Gray @PreciousOkpar16]

@Mesmerized1234 @7timesSana Happened to me

[Elspeth Gray @PreciousOkpar16]

@vahphor @Ayo__musco And you are?
