6 WAYS TO STYLE YOUR LITTLE BLACK DRESS

Hi everyone!!! I do hope you had a lovely weekend!!! Happy new month:)

I'm a HUGE fun of the little black dress. You can style it up or down and where it  a million times, over and over again and still look amazing. So for this post I decided to put together the outfits I wore that feature a little black dress. I own three such dress and now I'm on the look out for a little white dress.
In this very unstable economy, some of us don't have the luxury of buying clothes at the drop of a hat. We have to make do with what we have in our wardrobes and stretch it as far as we can. And with the recent tax reduction on mitumba (as second hand clothes are commonly known in Kenya), maybe we'll be able to buy more than before. But the increase in taxes in other commodities might not favour the fashionista in you.

LBD Option 1
I wore this to a graduation dinner. The simplest way to wear a little black dress is to wear it and add some jewellery and great shoes. The temperature was favourable so I didn't need to cover up much. Here I kept my outfit simple and paired it with statement necklaces, matching earrings and heels.


LBD Option 2
I wore the same dress on a colder night  for a birthday party and paired it with stockings, boots and an embellished sweater.


LBD Option 3
For this little black dress I wore to church I also opted to keep things simple and paired it with black heels and a clutch. Because my bag and shoes were black I piled on the pink accessories to add some variation in colour i.e. the statement necklace, earrings and hairband.




LBD Option 4
I styled the above dress with an orange sweater, colourful scarf and boots for a day in class. The scarf and sweater added a burst of colour and really cheered me up.


LBD Option 5
This was the third time I wore this dress. It was bitterly cold on this day so I decided to pile on the layers. I wore this dress as a skirt, paired with a sweater, denim jacket, stockings and boots for a day running errands. I added a yellow belt to create a waistline and some colour to the outfit.



LBD Option 6
I've only worn this dress once for a ceremony I attended at my old school, but I believe there are many ways to style it. I wore it with a white sweater held in place by a belt, black stockings and black sling back heels. I chose to go with blue accessories i.e. handbag, earrings and ring.

 I hope this post was inspirational. What are the different ways you style your LBD?


Happy Monday and have a wonderful 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?
