Wardrobe Malfunction

I had a wardrobe malfunction yesterday. 
I have this silver, mono strap, jumpsuit 
that I bought online like most of my clothes. 
I wanted to wear it for Temi’s birthday dinner 
November last year, but it was a little big
 for me and just didn’t look as good on me 
as it did on the model. 
I was inspired to wear my firecracker T-shirt 
and jeans in which I looked really good 
that my phone was blowing up when 
I put up my pictures on the online. 
Anyway, since I have put on more weight, 
I tried on the jumpsuit and it fit better 
this time so I decided to wear it for 
Aramide’s shower. 
But just in case something went wrong 
and cuz I don’t know how to pack just 
one clothing item when I am sleeping 
away from my house, I added a red top, 
black jeans that are too tight and a black 
and white checked pants.
 I slept in my sister’s house on Saturday 
night and cuz her light is fairly regular, 
I took it for granted that there would 
be light the following Sunday before 
noon, the bridal shower start time, 
and I could iron the jumpsuit cuz it 
was really rumpled.
Sunday came and there was no light 
all morning. 
I complained to Miss Anna, my sister’s 
help, and she assured me that the light 
would return soon. 
Around 11.30 am when there was still 
no light, I decided to wear the red top 
and jeans instead and went to shower. 
After drying my body and applying l
otion, I wore the jeans and as expected 
it was too tight. 
Miss Anna and I tried to pull it up to 
my waist to no avail. 
I decided to switch to the checkered 
pants which I thought was a bit formal 
and suddenly light returns. 
So I asked her to iron the jumpsuit for 
me as I was going to wear it. 
I was all “thank you Jesus” when the 
light returned not knowing that it wasn’t 
Jesus at all. 
I put on the jumpsuit and went to take 
pictures downstairs because but it 
just didn’t look right. 
I felt fat in it, and it was all rumpled 
around my thigh area but I refused to 
go change and headed for the shower 
I was the MC for the shower which was 
all shades of amazing by the way! 
Aramide’s friends were hilarious and a 
vibe and the half and all the hilarious 
comments and amazing advice just 
made the shower really interesting. 
I had an outline of the agenda and the 
guests made it turn out so much better 
than I could ever have imagined. 
I pray for that kind of hilarious, 
participatory, and honest/vulnerable 
guests at my own shower. Amen. 
Anyway, I was walking up and down, 
moving about, dancing etc and without 
any mishap. 
Then it was time for people to give the 
bride advice and I sat for a little bit. 
Minutes later, I got up to do God knows 
what and I felt my zip pop open. 
I thought it popped open just a little bit, 
and I went to the kitchen to try to see 
the extent of the damage only to find
 that it was completely open and my 
underwear and waist trainer were in 
full view.
I quickly opened the door to the kitchen 
and asked one of my friends to come. 
When she walked up to me, I told her 
that my zip had popped open and I didn’t 
want to go to the living room with all those 
people so she should help me bring 
the bag that contained my red top and 
pants from my car boot. 
Thankfully, she brought it and I started 
to change in the kitchen. 
One of the guests walked in on me while 
changing and asked why I was wearing 
something else and I told her the reason.
“What if you didn’t have something else 
to change into?”
“Well thank God I did.”
“pele oh”

I went back to the living room in my new 
outfit and everyone was asking if I was 
going out afterward and why I changed 
but I just asked them to go on with the 
program and refused to say why. 
I believe now that it was the Holy Spirit 
trying to get me to wear something else 
with the no-light situation but I refused 
to be discerning and insisted on wearing 
what I wanted to wear. 
Thank God I had a change of clothes and 
thank God the shower was in an apartment 
and not a public place cuz I don’t even 
know how I would have managed 
otherwise.
