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!
