DRESSED FOR COLD IN NAIROBI

I don't know what happened in the atmosphere above Nairobi on Tuesday but it was so cold I couldn't believe it. I had a date with one of my friends followed by class and an afternoon of hard work so I had to drag myself out of the house without carrying my duvet with me. Oh how I wish I had!!
I felt like wearing black and white that day but I didn't want to go too overboard with the neutral colours so I added my pink trench coat, last worn here.

Outfit Details:

Black trousers: Incense, India

Top: Sarojini Market, India

Coat: Sarojini Market, India

Belt: Sarojini Market, India

Scarf: Sarojini Market, India

Earrings and Ring: Connaught Place, India

Flats: Chandigarh, India

Are there days when you feel like wearing a certain colour and everything else looks so boring? I've been feeling a lot like that this past week. I had a trying Sunday night and Monday morning and I still feel like lying in a corner somewhere and crying all day!!! But life has to move on despite the challenges thrown our way. I just hope I'm able to pick myself up by next week so that I can do my work wholeheartedly and not mechanically like I have this week.

Today is my mum's birthday. I know it's Friday the 13th and we teased her mercilessly about it being a bad luck day and that we shouldn't celebrate but since we don't believe in all that, I think we'll get underway with out plans.

Happy Friday and Cheers to the weekend!!

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?
