OUTFIT: Denim Shorts

I wore this outfit yesterday because I needed something to cheer me up. I was feeling really down in the dumps to the point where I called my mum and almost started crying. But by the end of the day, I was feeling hopeful and I was actually looking forward to a new day.
Now for the outfit, I bought these denim shorts last summer and when I got home I realized that they were too short for my comfort. Luckily I had bought some leggings the same day as I had bought them, I decided to layer them and voila! back to my comfort zone.

Winter seems to be ending and I'm getting very excited! At least it's sunny every morning even though there's also a chilly wind that accompanies the sun. So today I decided to make a change and wear shorts instead of trousers.

I bought this top in 2008 and haven't worn it in a while. It still looks brand new and at some point it didn't quite fit like it did the first few months (I'd lost that much weight). So today I layered it with a turtle neck, which seem to have become my winter staple, and it fit pretty well. I chose this turtle neck rather than a dark coloured one to add a pop of colour to my outfit. Since I had chosen to wear fitting lowers I picked a loose top to create balance.

I love these shorts, I just wish they were a little longer so that they'd get more wear. Currently I'm restricted to leggings and tights. Maybe I'll go on a hunt for a slightly longer pair.

How has the first month of the year treated you? Have you started to fulfil you new year's resolutions? I've been working on mine and as the dates got further and further from 1st of January, it got harder and harder. But I will not give up:)

I hope you're having a great week and a great start of the month.

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.

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.
