Hey guys. Enjoy the video and let me know what your thoughts are :)

Please do a tutorial on eye make up. MashAllah keep it up

Love everything. The Tights and T is my everyday look lol. But I also like wearing comfy dresses (not deras)

Thanks. You read my thoughts. I need change

[@maureenmwangi2003]

She looks like a sweet reserved woman 😊, she was even shy to show us the back designs for No.s 3 & 4

[@Lynn_marion]

I like how conscious you are of being decent at home

[@hani3791]

Sorry, I love my diras. it's the quickest way to get comfortable when you get home. They do come in stylish fashions too you know. Love the last piece you wore too.

[@MukhebiDorothy]

True. Diras are the most practical and work for majority . What I like about what she presents. .. We should not fear to go a notch higher.

[@WhatsPoppin-z]

I'm so guilty of the hoodie, dera, and rights. I love you content. Truth be told though, you're up there. How many Kenyans can buy a cloth worth 4k for a home wear? You're lifestyle doesn't reflect the real wanjiku. Even if you say buy them polepole, I'm still sure 99.9% of us can't buy a housewerar for 6900. Anyway lanes.

[@paulinekwamboka121]

The outfits from women secrets are beautiful. Thanks for sharing

[@miriamkina5261]

Totally agree about looking nice in the house.. it even affects your moods . You go mum!

[@Raetalkss]

I am single and praying to be happily married, this video has been of help. I honestly need to revamp my lounge wear even as a single woman! Thanks so much! New subbie :D

[@whatatimetobealive4249]

I am not gonna lie, I love this video in its entirety. I love the fits. But girl, I have laughed for a whole four minutes looking at the prices. 49k on what??! Lovely video

[@mercy_cherono]

never knew i needed this, challenge truly accepted, no more tights and tshirts.

[@FashionableStepMum]

Mercy Cherono Good. 👏🏾👏🏾 I also started somewhere...

[@Felice_Dubet]

Dera is my lifestyle and traditional attire dear and cheap for us and cannot be ditched at all. Would have been important instead of saying "Ditch Dera for..." You could have said try this fashionable home wear.

[@rispernyakio4401]

Lol, but you can still get nice pj's at $5 full set... Anyway to each their own

Except for the stocking kwa Kichwa....I think the rest is just ok.Motherhood is no joke haki ...sometimes you find yourself so busy with the kids until you even forget about yourself . Thanks for this though..eye opener❤️

[@josephinew.n.macharia3050]

The upgrade was spot on ...but the pricing :( Need to check for alternatives at LC Waikiki

[@bridgetituriu4990]

I love dera so much. I just love the easy slip, comfortability and I can quickly go to the shop 😁. But for sure I need to change and spice things up

[@esthernjoroge1775]

The last one is the best. Nice stuff. Are you back from your vacation? Really waiting for the cooking videos

I'm laughing so hard... The Nigerian sound effects for look 1 got me lol. And how pple wear Dera to the supermarket 😂. Anyway challenge accepted my lounge wear and esp because I'm a SAHM only leaves the hse when I need to. I should upgrade.. Great content there

[@FashionableStepMum]

karen makena To shop with no bra. Don’t worry we are all in that journey. A step at a time..😂😂

[@LadyTii]

Fashionable Stepmum, you are a breath of fresh air!😍 Just today, I stumbled on the video where your daughters were rating your outfits and I've been exploring more. I can so relate to this topic. I always choose comfort over style at home and....come close... (whispering) even when I go shopping!🙈 Dressing up for any event is a chore in itself for me but you are so right - I am more MOTIVATED when I'm dressed up. Now I'm encouraged to make more effort, especially during this lockdown. Keep making great videos and never let the haters get your attention. New subbie from London 😘

Ednah Mugo To you too and a lovely week ahead.

[@margaret8940]

😅😅😅, wow, this is a great presentation. Catherine, you look great in everything, even the Dera. You are quite a model. The levelled up look is "goals" because it's classy, decent and more appealing. I find the Dera (plus inner wear) very liberating to wear while doing house chores. It's also very comfortable but a decent Lady should put on inner wear while wearing it indoors or outdoors. The Dera = Feminine Fashion Freedom the African way. As Africans, we need to also love, guard and embrace our own cultural clothes. My sister recently told me she hasn't reached the age of wearing Deras when I told her I would buy her a Dera as a gift because that's the one thing I knew she doesn't own. I am only 3 years older than her and young too but that's when I learnt (the hard way) that sadly, Deras are judged in ways I didn't imagine and intentionally avoided by all means (by some some ladies). Challenge accepted 💪💃💃#womensecret

the last outfit is goals!!!!!

[@Rhenadhis]

First of all, get your deras resized, always, and not a straight up and down resize like the way the dera is sewn from the get but get a fundi to take your measurements and resize it with snatched waist and all. Secondly, deras are everything, they are life. I love them.

[@rispernyakio4401]

Lol, it's not like a compe hunnie, she is just saying we upgrade but if they work for you, it's easy.. I love the next set of clothes

[@aketchaketch7450]

Lovely pieces but not sure if these would be considered as lounge wear in some countries…more like pj’s which you really should not be hanging around the house in all day/daily IMO. But definately looking decent while indoors lifts one’s spirits! :-)
