Get to Know Akinyi Ragwar

Akinyi Ragwar (she/her) DMV metropolitan area (aka in or near Washington, DC) : July 2022. My friend signed me up—it has been the best membership for me to network with other fashion minded individuals, to be invited to member events, and to continuously learn from experts. : I love wearing statement blazers.

The fact that you can dress a blazer up or down—and pair it with jeans, sweatpants, or A line skirts—is a win for me! If not a blazer, my mood decides if I choose something colorful or neutral—and whether the pieces will be sophisticated or comfortable. My looks keeps evolving—particularly since recently becoming a mother.

I want to dress in pieces that are loose, but still fashionable. Dior, Michael Kors, Karen Millen, and Chloé. I have a few pieces by each and style myself so that every piece projects the ideal of “fits on me” (hence my Instagram handle!). My top 10 items I wear all the time and am always on the lookout for: 1.

A high quality leather blazer . An A line belted skirt . A suit vest set Coordinating sweatshirts and sweatpants . A long slip dress (perfect for days with in between weather) 6. I love a white tee! 7. A statement belt—my go to accessory 8. Knee high boots—they keep you warm and stylish throughout fall 9.

A sweater dress! 10. High rise wide leg jeans (ideal for brunch!) : I spent hours trying to come up with a name for my fashion blog—I used acronyms, got feedback from peers and family and friends, and finally settled on “Fitsonme.” For a long time, I didn’t want to blog because I didn’t have the confidence or the drive for it.

One day, I just bit the bullet, and the rest is history… !.
