Notions (Impressions)

There's something about dressing that people make up impressions because of a mode of dressing.

About a week ago, I went to market with my friends. We were just strolling on the pathways to get to the market proper, the okada men were beckoning on us. One said something that struck me, he was like"Come, let me take you to Old Caro, shebi that's where you're going"

Old Caro is Old Carolina, A hotel within the vicinity. It's one of the most popular places for Hangouts by University students. The man probably thought that I'm meeting up with someone at the hotel.

Now, I've Never been to Old Caro, nothing has ever taken me there. Maybe, I'm not living the supposed life to the fullest, but I've never had the pull towards the hotel for anything.

So, I am thinking of the reason the man thought such. I was putting on a fitted top, mum's jeans, canvas and packed my hair with white handkerchief. My lips were a darkish shade of pink. That was all. Why the conclusion?

Does this mean that a person cannot dress up for herself without having any kind of impression associated with it. Why connote a girl, with hotel life just because. It's actually not my business if people are gallivanting around the hotel, either for pleasure, leisure or whatnots. I just don't get the notion of people's assumption.

Being addressed as someone going to the hotel doesn't concern me, but knowing the message behind me, It's sad that people think that way. Anywho, I don't care. Imma dress good, how I seem fit regardless of what some certain peeps might think. I am who I am, and not who some think I am. Never, will I let a perceived notion get to me, as long as I know it's not the truth.
