DRESSED FOR FATHERS' DAY

I know Father’s Day was like a month ago but I hadn’t gotten round to posting what I wore on that day. It was a Sunday which for me meant Church. We also had guests on this day and we (the children of both families) decided to make a fuss about Fathers’ Day for once. So we organized a lunch with drinks and cake after lunch to celebrate the three fathers in the family. As we were celebrating, it crossed our minds that we had never done anything like this before. We always remember to celebrate our mothers and to thank them for all the sacrifices they’ve made for us. However, we often forget our fathers and their sacrifices pass unnoticed. Have you ever thought of the last time you tried to surprise your dad? I honestly don’t. I just know that when we were younger we tried our level best to make his birthday special. This was a little hard to accomplish because he would end up paying for his own gift and cake. But now that we are older and more aware, I’ll make sure we do something special for Fathers’ Day. He won’t be around forever and there’s nothing as bad as saying, “I wish I had spent more time with him.”

I chose this outfit because I wanted something warm; it was very cold on this particular Sunday, smart because of church and comfortable seeing as I was the one in-charge of the cooking and cleaning up. I wore a black a-line skirt last worn here, with an off-white, off-shoulder sweater which I tucked in. I added a belt, thick stockings, ankle boots, bangles and statement earrings which were a gift from my cousin. I carried my brown quilted bag.

I’d like an honest opinion, how do these boots look when worn with a short skirt. This is the first time I’m wearing them like this and I’m still uncertain on the outcome. Criticisms and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Outfit Details:

Skirt: India

Sweater: Gikomba, Nairobi (50 Shillings)

Stockings: Sarojini Market, India

Boots: gift

Earrings: gift

Bangles: Sarojini Market, India

Handbag: Sarojini Market, India

Have an awesome weekend. I'm headed for the FAB 2012 Expo on Saturday and a graduation party on Sunday. What are your plans this 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?
