Day 4, 5 and 6 of Chimamanda adichie in Vogues for one month

Hear her in Day 4

I am wearing a Stella Jean dress. It reminds me of a dress my mother wore often when I was growing up. My shoes are Sophia Webster - I am always grateful for beautiful heels that are below 4 inches. My belt is from Target. My headwrap is an ankara fabric from Nsukka market.

I am wearing a BCBG top and DSquared2 shoes. My bag is by Nigerian designer Obsidian, bought in a lovely shop called L'espace in Lagos. I designed the trousers, and my superbly-talented tailor Razak made them.

This wrapper and top are by Nigerian designer Itunu. My brother says my Zara shoes remind him of Cinderella, which might be ironic, the shoes being the only thing I find tolerable about the Cinderalla story. My bag is from Chloe.
