OUTFIT: Registration


Happy New Month!!! My blogging has been a little haphazard lately. I don’t have internet connection at home so I have to depend on the times I go out to update my blog.
I wore this outfit on last Monday when I went to Strathmore University to register for a unit I needed to complete to get my diploma. I hadn’t been there for nearly four years and considering their strict dress code, I wasn’t too sure what was appropriate anymore. So I opted to go completely formal rather than smart casual. This is a big change from what I’m used to wearing because while studying in India nobody paid any attention to what you wore as long as you were covered. I spent the last four years wearing denim day in day out with the occasional skirt or dress.



With the rather interesting weather we have in Nairobi, I get a little confused on what to wear. In India when it rained, it was cool and nice. But in Nairobi when it rains it’s so cold!!! Ah, the joys and pains of adjusting to a new environment:)
On this particular day, it was warm and nice in the morning so I opted for a dress-shirt and a straight leg trouser which I’ve had for three years but this is the first time I’m wearing them. They were too big and I recently had them altered.




To add something interesting to the outfit I added a black belt which I paired with black heels and a black handbag.
I matched my jewellery to my trousers by wearing earrings and a necklace in shades of brown.







Have a fantastic week.

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?
