'I bought wardrobe of baby clothes but I'm single and not pregnant - I can't help it'

There's nothing like being prepped for the arrival of a new born, but one woman has took preparation to a whole new level as she has already kitted out her baby's wardrobe with clothes, despite not even being pregnant - or in a relationship.

Wanting to "invest in her future," the aspiring mum has hopes of having a baby girl and has made sure she is ready for the day when it arrives.

The shopping habit started when 21-year-old Naya Ofili, was gifted a baby grow from her mum Deborah, 43. She's carried on filling the wardrobe since, although she is worried it might "scare away men."

The pharmacy student from Brisbane, Australia, can't help but pick up outfits when she spots one and plans to keep expanding the wardrobe for her future little girl even though her friends say she is "crazy" and "delusional".

"I've always wanted to be a mum," she explains, adding: "The dream is to have a baby girl and I have faith that I'm having a baby girl."

"If I see something I really like, I purchase it and keep it. My friends think I'm crazy and delusional but I'm investing in my future."

Viewing the baby grow her mum gifted her as a sign, Naya has become obsessed with buying items she can picture her baby-to-be in.

She added "My mum had bought a baby grow but had my brothers and she wanted to throw it away.

"I said 'I'll keep it' as I saw my baby in that outfit. Then I started to see cute outfits and I picked some up that I really liked and keep them in my wardrobe but I don't actively go out and search"

"My friend saw my baby clothes in my wardrobe and she said I was delusional. She asked if I'd ever thought it might not be a girl - but I know I will have a girl."

Naya is currently single and focusing on her studies and hopes to have a family after "establishing" herself and knows exactly the kind of partner she hopes to have her baby with - a family orientated and wealthy man.

"I want to make something for myself. I want to finish university and be well established," she said.

"I need to get married and not be single first and my type on paper has to be family orientated. He has to be ambitious. He has to be wealthy to be able to support me and the kids.

"That's what I look for in a man but I'm worried if this chases all the guys away. But a lot of people were in support. Lots of other people do it.

"Some people do it who have fertility issues. It has helped them feel normal."
