This post was absolutely inspired by Fisayo Longe's Ode to Ugly Shoes and Girls Who Wear Them.

When I wore these shoes in Boston I got stares. In Manhattan I got stares. In Ghana - the shoes are one thing but the exposed bra...it was way too much for my conservative country.

Sometimes I allow popular opinion in real life and on social media to get to me but with each post I strive to have the confidence to expose style that is true to me. My style cannot - and will never - be described in just one word. There are too many facets of me and my crazy weird self that exist in my head. And I refuse to hide any of them.
