Hi! My name is Foyin Og and I’m a 20 year old Business Science: Marketing student at UCT by day, a fashion, beauty and lifestyle blogger by night and an overall liker of things. I run The DearSolo Blog and use it as a portal for (predominantly) young women who want to look and be their best but on a budget. I post about style advice and outfit inspo, music that I’m listening to, beauty reviews and tutorials, pop culture ramblings with the occasional op-ed in the mix. My style is usually more simple, but I’m learning to add bold statement pieces and pops of colour to add more life to my wardrobe.
My style for a typical week would look something like this:
Monday
Monday’s lately are mostly admin-related days. I have tutorial hand-ins and lectures, so I sometimes have to rely on my staple uniform of all-black to make sure I still look good even if I didn’t have the time for it.
You really can’t go wrong with a pair of good fitting black jeans (thank you, Jonis from Topshop!), a turtleneck and some boots.
Tuesday
Lately, I’ve become quite the sneaker fan. I love the versatility and the comfort of sneakers because they fit my student lifestyle and the sports-luxe aesthetic, which is always a fun trend to try.
As you can see, my closet revolves quite a lot around the colour black because it very seldom goes wrong! Monochrome is a trend that I am always here for, even when it involves a pair of sometimes pesky white jeans.
Wednesday
I am a fan of the trends, and a major trend that I’m loving is all about fur. Until I get myself a massive fur coat and unleash my inner Rihanna attitude, I wear this black-and-white fur waist coat because it also gives me that extra ego boost that I need.
It’s an awesome statement piece because it can take any outfit up a notch without you feeling completely ridiculous. From events to date night to lectures – you won’t always feel too out of place wearing it.
