Full name/pronouns: Akinyi Ragwar (she/her)
Location: DMV metropolitan area (aka in or near Washington, DC)
Vogue Club member since: 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 Vogue experts.
Instagram handle: @fitsonme
My signature look: 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.
My favorite designers: 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!).
On my fashion wish list: My top 10 items I wear all the time and am always on the lookout for:
1. A high-quality leather blazer
2. An A-line belted skirt
3. A suit vest set
4. Coordinating sweatshirts and sweatpants
5. 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!)
A fun fact about me: 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…
