Graduation Guest Dress – Floral Midi Dress

Oyinkan

What do you wear to a graduation when you’re not the one graduating? As a graduation guest, it’s important that you put your best foot forward. I find that graduation guests keep it casual as many opt for denim and t-shirts but I’ve always believed that graduations are an important affair. It’s not every day that your loved one gets a degree so put the t-shirts and jeans to the side, grab a dress, and show up like you care. I believe the more important the event, the greater the…

DIY Pink Crochet Jacket – NYFW FW2024

Oyinkan

If you’re not new to Befitting Style, then you know this is not my first crochet jacket. The other colors look so good that I had to create a pink crochet jacket! As a pink lover, I’m surprised I didn’t do it sooner but here we are. I crocheted this jacket 5 years ago and didn’t think of wearing it anytime soon but I knew whenever I do decide to wear it, the full look would be incredible. What else do I wear in the middle of winter when heading…

Black in Fashion Council Panel at Soho Works – Maroon Skirt

Oyinkan

I had the pleasure of joining Black In Fashion Council’s third installment of their networking event. It’s my first BIFC event and it was held at Soho Works where the light bites were yummy and the Viarae prosecco was flowing. I’ve been pretty lowkey lately but when I heard about this event, I knew I had to go! About BIFC Led by Editor in Chief of The Cut, Lindsay R. Peoples and Founder of Sandrine Charles Consulting, Sandrine Charles, BIFC is a safe space for black people working in fashion.…

NYFW 2022 Kickoff

Oyinkan

I kicked off New York Fashion Week at Long Island Sports Cars. I’ve never attended a Fashion Week event held in Long Island so I was excited to see what going out east has to offer. I decided to attend the event very last minute so I grabbed the grey crochet jacket that I crocheted a few years ago and paired it with a brown suede dress and blue thigh-high boots. I must admit that I was a bit (definitely more than a bit) skeptical as most NYFW events are held in…

DIY Crochet Jacket – Brown

Oyinkan

I’ve been creating Crochet Jackets for a few years. It started off as a design that I challenged myself to create because, to my knowledge, these crochet jackets only existed in my brain. Over the years, I’ve created this crochet jacket in several colors. Although I started creating these jackets a few years ago, it’s always fun to work on a new color. My auburn box braids inspired me to create a brown one. Crocheting is my favorite pastime. Once I begin creating, I have to see it through. Finishing it becomes so…

Stepping Out – Purple Ruffle Dress

Oyinkan

I haven’t been going out much but I had to step out and celebrate JDot’s birthday. I threw on a purple ruffle dress from Zara and accessorized it with the Befitting Style Linked Earrings from the Link Up Collection. It’s the latest collection from Befitting Style and I’m so excited about it! It’s one of my favorites so far as I’m drawn to the antique gold tone. Nothing like celebrating the gift of life with good people and having my best friend, Marllory by my side was a special treat as she always…

My 20s Were Ghetto and Fabulous

Oyinkan

As I reflect on this year, let’s reflect on my 20s really quickly since I basically exited that decade this year. I hear that your 20s are when you make a lot of mistakes and it’s okay not to have your life together because most people don’t have their life together in their 20s and I’m glad I heard that before entering my 20s but it still didn’t keep me from wishing I had my life together in my twenties. My twenties came with a lot of ups and downs/some…

Dinner On A Boat at La Borca Cantina – High Slit Mini Dress

Oyinkan

I’m totally not a dinner girl. Brunch is my favorite thing to do. I somehow got convinced to dine at La Borca Cantina at Pier 81 and there were definitely some pros and cons. Best part is I finally got to wear this neutral high-slit mini dress that perfectly fit the occasion. I accessorized the look with the Befitting Style Marvel White Earrings and white Zara heels. Brunch is life but when my best friend, Marllory Perez said she prefers to do dinner instead of brunch to celebrate her 31st birthday, its…

Multicolor Stripe Dress – Christopher John Rogers for Target

Oyinkan

When I laid my eyes on this multicolor stripe dress designed by Christopher John Rogers for Target, I immediately thought I would wear it as a dress. Little did I know that once I threw it on for Lon Burgundy’s Flatbush Mixer, it would end up being a top for the evening. I had to throw on the Befitting Style Serenity Earring from the Bliss Collection! The more color blocking, the better. I absolutely love this hairstyle! Its my fave for the summer! The bigger the hair, the better. Check out how I…

Multicolor Dress From Target – Christopher John Rogers

Oyinkan

I found a multicolored dress from Target. I don’t know about you but I’m absolutely in love with the Christopher John Rogers collection at Target. I’m currently listening to The Cutting Room Floor by Recho Omondi while typing this blog post and realized that this is truly one of my favorite podcasts of all time and I listen (and watch) a lot of podcasts but that’s just how great this podcast is. The Visual Lexicon episode which aired on June 23, 2021 featured Christopher John Rogers. I already knew he’s…
