How would you describe your sense of style? “I think I’m casual… mostly casual all the time because I like to be comfy and relaxed. So anything I wear [is] comfortable. And I’m always in skinny jeans because I think that’s what looks best on me.”

Why did you choose this particular outfit? “Because this is my go-to outfit, and I feel like white and blue goes well with my skin color, and these are some of my favorite shoes.”

If you could raid anyone’s closet, who would it be, and why? “I would raid Jackie Aina’s closet because she got money and she got fashion sense. And Shirley B. Eniang [because I know] she has good fashion sense. She’s not my size, but [if] she was my size, I’d just go there with a huge bag and just leave!”

Elements of Ochuko’s Outfit

1. Natural Hair

Ochuko loves wearing her natural hair. It’s voluminous, gravity-defying, real, and – most important of all – healthy. She cares for her hair using products from Shea Moisture’s 100% coconut oil line. Ochuko wears her hair like a crown. It represents her roots and lets people know the queen she is. You go girl!

2. White Off-the-Shoulder Top

Off-the-shoulder tops are a trend that many girls on campus have been rocking. Ochuko styles her white off-the-shoulder top in a boho-casual way. She keeps the accessories minimal and lets the top do all the talking.

3. Colorful Shoes

Purchasing a pair of Toms not only helps Ochuko amp up her closet, but she’s also helping a child in need somewhere across the globe. This pair is one of her most valued pairs of shoes. Because of the colorful fabric, she can wear these with almost anything!
