Finance professional turns ‘eye for fashion’ into side business

Mosope Ogunjobi shared her journey to side hustle success with Express.co.uk. Despite being in the finance industry for over a decade, and holding a post-graduate degree in LLM Corporate Governance and Law, Ms Ogunjobi took to personal shopping and styling as a side business five years ago.
Now her luxury brand, Style Necessity, has garnered over a million Instagram followers and is still growing.
Personal shopping and styling requires a keen fashion sense to create a wardrobe or outfit that perfectly fits both the physical appearance and personal taste of the client.
Despite not having any prior experience or qualifications in fashion, Ms Ogunjobi used her natural talents to start a side business and become an Instagram influencer.
“I decided to pursue fashion five years ago as I kept being asked by members of the public on my way to work, where I bought my outfits/pieces I was wearing,” she explains.
