HOW TO: TRANSITION A SUMMER TOP


This is the third post in the HOW TO series. When the weather changes I sometimes miss some of my clothes from the previous season. Like this top, I haven’t worn it in such a long time that when I saw it last Friday I quickly thought of a way in which I can transition it so that I can wear it when it’s cold. My way is by layering it with a turtle neck. This is also another way to wear a turtle neck in an interesting way. I paired the top with black denim trousers. I bought these jeans after exams when I was in my second year of uni as a reward for myself. I absolutely love the fit and the back pockets have very interesting detailing.  I added a maroon corduroy jacket for additional warmth. An attempt at colour-blocking maybe, but it wasn’t intentional.



For accessories, I wore yellow earrings and a black, silver necklace and black and white bracelets. I wore black flats (These blue flowers are so cute!!!) and a carried a black handbag which was a gift from my sister.
I wore this outfit for a trip to the dentist. I was kinda scared because I thought he’d remove my tooth and I hate injections!! I also wanted to remove my lip ring but there wasn’t enough time. I guess pretty soon it will be part of my past. Oh the sorrow. I’m going to miss it so much! It’s become a part of me. I feel like I could lose a part of me if I remove it. But in order to get a job I’ve been told I have to remove it. Sob!!! Sob!!!

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?
