ACCESSORIZE: BAGS

There are as many of bags in the market now as there are occasions to carry them. Be it to work, to church, to lunch with girlfriends or to dinner with that special someone, to college, to the market etc. They vary in size, colour, material from which they are made and cost. The variety is endless. And the choice of bag one chooses to carry not only depends on the occasion but on ones preference as well.
Below are just a few that are my current favourites. But like I said there are many more in the market!

Totes
When I was in college I preferred big bags that I could throw all my books and stuff into. I still like big bags but the style has changed somewhat since then. However carrying a big bag is not only restricted to those who are still students. Even those who are working can carry these albeit the seriousness of the bag will vary. It would be deemed inappropriate to be seen carrying a large Hello Kitty bag to the office where as your friends at the university would find it cute.
Clutch Bags
For those occasions where you don't need to be carrying large books and pens or a calculator a smaller bag would be preferable. Clutch bags, need not to be limited to night time. I personally prefer to carry more embellished bags at night such as those with sequins. Those that are simpler I carry to church or when I'm going for lunch with friends. But this is a personal preference.

Cross Body Bags
Cross body bags have been in fashion for a while now. I carry cross body bags when I want to have all my essentials at hand without the fuss of having to adjust my bag on my shoulder for instance when going out with my girlfriends or when I'm running errands and need to have my hands free.
Hand-held bags
I like hand-held bags for more formal occasions. I chose these thinking that I'd carry them when going to work or when I have to go for meetings that require me to carry more than my lip gloss and wallet. I like the fact that they a big enough to put my diary, a novel and a couple of other essentials.

My Style: Mad About Denim

 I feel like I have put up soo many denim-related outfits of late but that's because I live in jeans. I can't help it. Let's talk about these particular jeans. They are high-waisted and have a zip that runs half-way up the calf and the fact that they stretch a little really adds to their charm. I paired them with a blue multi-layered top which I found to be so cute and feminine and topped it all off with my striped blue blazer. I love the cropped style and fit of this blazer. It instantly smartens up any outfit that I pair it with. For shoes, I opted for my grey sneakers which I first appeared on the blog here . Pops of red, in the form of lipstick and a necklace, added some more colour and brightness to the outfit.   Outfit Details: Jeans: Borrowed from my sis (Thrifted, Gikomba Market) Top and Blazer: Thrifted, Gikomba Market Shoes: Bus Station, Nairobi Earrings: Gift Necklace: Thrift Away (Instagram) Thank you for stopping by. xo

ABOUT

Hi, I'm Audrey. Welcome to Inches To Style☺ How it started I fell in love with fashion at an early age. In fact, I wanted to be a model and when I realised that I wouldn’t make the cut because of my height, I decided that I would become a fashion designer. I’d been making clothes for my dolls for years so I knew that was a career path I would love to pursue.  I didn’t study fashion nor did I become a fashion designer but my love for clothes and putting outfits together stuck with me.  On September 12, 2011 I wrote my first blog post, after I discovered the world of fashion blogs and got hooked. I thought to myself, “I can do this! I like writing and I like fashion, so why not?” And so Inches To Style was born. What to expect from the blog At first, I wanted this blog to be a source of inspiration for anyone looking to up their style game. As time progressed and my personal style and lifestyle has evolved, I found the name of my blog quite fitting as I’m moving inches (closer) ...

HOW TO: Wear A Pencil Skirt | With a T-Shirt and Statement Necklace

Hello lovelies! My quest to learn how to style a pencil skirt continues. I was selling this skirt ( on Botique i2s ) some time ago but I didn't get someone to buy it. So I added it to my arsenal. I have worn it twice since. I previously paired it with a white button down shirt. For last Sunday's Church outfit, I wore it with a chocolate brown t-shirt and added a statement necklace to dress up the outfit a little. My tan brown wedges have finally made a reappearance on the blog. A lime green and brown turban completed the outfit. Outfit Details: Skirt: Botique i2s T-Shirt: India Wedges: Bus Station Necklace: bought from a friend Head-wrap: India  I must say that I prefer this combination of colours more than with the white shirt. What do you think of it? How would you have worn this skirt?   Have you checked out my online store yet?
