OUTFIT: Corduroy and Suede


Before I start this post, I need to say something. When I bought these boots, two days before I left India, I was so happy with them, until I came to Nairobi and found them on everybody’s feet!! I’ve just been looking at them in my wardrobe not knowing how to wear them in a unique way. I think I’ll change them up with some beads so they don’t look so common. Another thing that sort of rubbed me the wrong way was that people just don’t know how or rather when to wear suede. Suede shoes get ruined with water. That’s why places like Bata sell suede cleaner. This means that they shouldn’t be worn when it’s raining. Yes you want to protect your feet from the wet and the cold, but suede is not the way to go about it. Turn to pleather or leather.
Enough of my venting, I wore this for a trip to the salon to get my very horrid looking hair done. I’ve been postponing a visit to the salon for so long that my brother even told me not to visit him at the office because my hair was embarrassing. So I finally did something about it. I wore my checked corduroy pants which were a gift from my boyfriend, with a black graphic t-shirt that I absolutely love. I added an orange sweater for warmth and to add a pop of colour to my outfit. 



 For accessories, I gravitated towards black and silver, as usual. I promise that from now on I will not buy any more black clothes or accessories. I wore a black and silver necklace and ring, with black earrings. I carried my black handheld bag and black suede boots.

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?
