MY WEEK IN SKIRTS: Add Pops of Colour to LBD

Afternoon all!! I had a very traumatic Monday. I was in the vicinity of an attack and I've been feeling the aftershocks today. I left the house to go to class and when I was halfway there I started feeling so bad that I decided to turn back and head home. I hope to feel better tomorrow.
This is my third post on My Week in Skirts challenge. You can find the previous posts here and here. I ran out of skirts before the week was over so I resorted to dresses. I wore this outfit last Thursday to class. It's a Little Black Dress (LBD) which I wore for the first time since I bought it.

As I continue with my obsession with black and pops of bright colours, I wore this dress with my burnt orange sweater, a colourful scarf and boots. I carried this yellow bag, more so because I needed a bag big enough to carry my laptop and and also to pick up my some colour from the scarf.

I had an interesting experience when I wore this dress. I was stopped by the Fashion cops at the university claiming that it was too short.I was in utter disbelief because that morning I had paid so much attention to ensuring that I was descent enough. When I got home I asked my mum AND dad and they both agreed that the dress was not short. And if you know my parents they are quite strict on the length of your clothes. Looking back to that day I can only laugh!!!

Little Black Dress: India

Burnt Orange Sweater: gift

Scarf: India

Boots: My Sister's

Bag: My Sister's

Happy Tuesday!!!

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. What do you think of it? How would you have worn this skirt? Have you checked out my online store yet?
