OUTFIT: THREE SWEATERS AND BROGUES

Hi everyone!! I hope you are having a great week. Sorry for the lack of posts. I haven't been feeling well. I had a very busy weekend, which was in more ways than one quite memorable. And then I caught something, most likely to do with this uncertain weather and the fact that I ate ice-cream despite the sore-throat I had.
The weather in Nairobi has refused to make up its mind. Is this normal behaviour? I honestly don’t remember the weather being so undecided. One day it’s freezing and the next day the sun is shining and the next it’s raining.

I wore this outfit last Thursday and it was so cold despite the three layers I chose to wear. I paired black cotton trousers with three different sweaters, a black one, an orange cowl neck sweater, topped up with a beige sweater. The beige sweater was chosen as a precautionary piece because I didn’t want the fashion police stopping me to tell me that my trouser was too tight.

Because I wanted to wear these brogues (I love their colour!!) I went for blue accessories to tie in the colours: a belt and bracelets. I added these black and grey earrings which were given to me as a gift. For my hair I wore a bow headband.

After my realization that my wardrobe consists of mostly black clothes, I’m trying to break into that by mix and matching my outfits with bright colours.

Outfit Details:

Trousers: India

Black Sweater: Ngara, Nairobi

Orange cowl neck sweater: India

Beige sweater: Ngara, Nairobi

Belt: borrowed from sis

Brogues: India

Bracelets: gift

Earrings: borrowed

I am so happy this week. Things are taking a turn for the better and I hope and pray I see more of such days. Got to run! I have a job interview today!!

Happy Wednesday

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?
