Can Modest Swimwear Still Be Fun?

Oyinkan

I find that many don’t opt for modest swimwear anymore. Bikinis have gotten tinier over time and with most bikinis fitting like a thong nowadays, partially covering your butt feels like a thing of the past. Realizing that swimwear has gotten smaller leads me to wonder if modest swimwear can still be fun or is it now categorized as a little grandma-ish? I hung out by the pool in an off-the-shoulder high waist bikini that surprisingly covers a decent amount of my butt. It reminds me of the bikinis that…

Will Floral Prints Ever Go Out of Style?

Oyinkan

I grew up loving floral prints simply because I’ve always loved flowers so naturally as an adult, I’m still drawn to floral patterns. Florals have been a staple in the fashion industry long before I even came on this earth but I sometimes wonder if it’ll come and go like many other things. What I love most about this floral dress is also what I dislike the most about this dress – the tiny buttons placed vertically down the middle. I love the aesthetic it creates and how polished tiny…

How To Wear Swimwear As A Regular Outfit

Oyinkan

I purchased this Matte Swim yellow printed bikini about two years ago and although I fell in love with the print, I didn’t like how revealing the bottom piece is for this two piece bikini. Because I’m the Queen of keeping & remixing my clothes, I knew the top can definitely come in handy as a crop top. I paired it with a lace cover up and faux leather shorts (yes I believe in wearing leather in warmer weather). Wearing swimwear as a regular outfit is super simple. When remixing…

Neutrals in the Summer – Brown Monochrome

Oyinkan

I love wearing bright colors but neutrals also have a special place in my heart. My love for a brown monochrome look is influenced by how amazing it looks on my skin tone! I initially laid my eyes on this brown off-the-shoulder top in Zara while in Los Angeles and to stop impulse shopping, I decided not to get it. Seeing it again in New York was the only sign I needed to purchase it. The best part is it was on sale in New York (a bonus sign) so…

Wear Tweed In The Summer

Oyinkan

Many may think I’m crazy for saying wear tweed in the summer as tweed is a fabric usually reserved for cooler seasons because of its very thick fabric. Being the Queen of wearing anything throughout all seasons, I’ll always find a way to make things work. When I laid my eyes on this tweed dress from Zara, I knew I had to have it! It was easy for me to wear this tweed dress during such warm weather because it’s not as thick as the average tweed material and the…

You Deserve The Best – Cali Swim Bathing Suit

Oyinkan

I find that black women are constantly told to humble themselves when partaking in the finer things in life. Whether it’s going on a simple excursion or buying high-end items, black women are normally told not to show up as their full vibrant selves and of course, I disagree with that! Some people tend to put others down when to feel better about themselves. Whether they tell others they don’t belong in certain spaces or they shouldn’t be buying certain things (even if they have the money for it). It’s…

The Only Boohoo Dress That I Like – White Bodycon Dress

Oyinkan

I normally only speak of brands that I love on Befitting Style but its hard for me to talk about a dress that I love without mentioning that I’m not too fond of most of the pieces from the brand. Many love to shop at Boohoo because its affordable and trendy so I tried Boohoo a few years ago. I purchased at least 10 items so that I can properly review the brand’s quality of clothing. Out of the 10 pieces, this white off-the-shoulder peplum sleeve dress is the only…

Live Art Market Opening Reception + Sunset Rendevous

Oyinkan

It’s impossible to discuss any of my festivities without mentioning that I finally got my hands on the Christopher John Rogers x Target collection! When I knew that I was attending the Live Art Market Opening Reception and the Sunset Rendevous Rooftop Series, I knew I had to throw on this immaculate red dress with the Befitting Style Dashing Earrings. Starting the festivities at the Live Art Market Opening Reception was definitely nostalgic. This day reminded me of when I used to intern as I would unwind regularly at art galleries.…

My First Brandon Blackwood Bag – Green ESR

Oyinkan

If I bought 4 Brandon Blackwood ESR bags during my first order, is it fair to call this post my first? Let’s just say this is 1 of 4. As I expand my black-owned handbag collection, its only right that I treat myself to a few Brandon Blackwood bags. Take a look at my full review of all the Brandon Blackwood bags that I purchased in the video below. I was introduced to the Brooklyn-based brand on Instagram. It was during the time that there was a bit of outrage…

Monochroming in Blue

Oyinkan

I’ve been monochroming a lot lately simply because its easy peezy lemon squeezy. I’m also trying to challenge myself to see how much longer I can monochrome. I find that my default is to mix things up so its always fun to do something a little different. For this day of monochrome, I opted for a blue high-waist pant and a printed blue top with matching blue sunnies of course. I’ve loved these pants for years because they fit so great! My only issue is that it gets loose throughout…
