PO: I’ve always worn what makes me feel good, since I got the chance to pick out my own clothes, I’ve never looked to anyone for approval but myself.

TQ: Would you wear what you wore in high school now?

PO: I went to a private boarding school in Nigeria, so I always wore uniforms, so no I wouldn’t wear those again. However, during the times we weren’t in school, again I wore what I wanted, I still have clothes from high school that I still wear. For those clothes, the only thing I would change is the fitting of my jeans, I never found any that I really liked!

TQ: What are your favorite places to shop?
