FESTIVE SEASON INSPIRATION

It's that time of year again. December. I've really been looking forward to this month because it means Christmas!!!! I love Christmas:) For many this is the time to spend with the family and for those of us who'll be far away from family, with our adopted families.
This post wasn't meant to be about Christmas but I couldn't help myself because Christmas is in 24 days! Can you believe it? Just the other day we were ringing in the new year! Anyway, I'm digressing. With the festivities come various parties which you could be invited for. These usually mean you'll need something to wear that is a little different from the usual suit or jeans and a t-shirt. But this doesn't necessarily mean you have to dig into your pockets (which may or may have not reached their limit). If you take the time, maybe one Sunday. go through your closet you could probably find something you've put on once and then jammed it at the back of your closet. By mixing and matching pieces that you already own and adding maybe one or two new things you can come up with a number of party outfits that will last you through the holiday season.

Paint your nails with a glitter nail polish of your choice.

Add a red lipstick to your make up to look extra festive. And to ensure your lips stand out, keep the rest of your make-up minimal.



Some party-inspired heels. Red and gold make me think so much of Christmas.

Or flats if you prefer.

Throw in some party accessories like a sequin or envelope clutch in black and gold or a red metallic cross body bag...

The options are endless but this is what I've come up with. What can you think of adding to your wardrobe to make mark this festive season?

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?
