DRESSED IN THE 70s

This outfit was inspired by fashion from the 70s which featured wide leg trousers and platform shoes. I’ve been looking for other ways to style these pants worn here and here, because they are among my prized possessions. In my blog reading, I came across this post in College Fashion that inspired me to dress retro. Yes, I'm an graduate who still likes to read blogs that are leaned more towards the college student. What can say? Maybe I'm in denial!!
So I paired it with a polka dot top which I took from my mum and ballet flats, pearl earrings and necklace and my brown quilt bag. I had wanted to wear my wedges but I had to attend my friend’s graduation party (i.e. I was in the cooking and clearing team) that afternoon so I opted for functional shoes.

Outfit Details:

Palazzo pants: Sarojini Market, India

Polka dot blouse: gift

Earrings and necklace set: gift

Handbag: Sarojini Market, India

Some features of 70s features that I love are:

Wide-leg / palazzo pants

Anything maxi be they dresses or skirts

High waisted pants

Straight-leg trousers aka cigarette pants

Wrap dresses made popular by Diane Von Fustenberg. I'm yet to acquire one but this is one dress I'm sure I won't mind wearing.

Platform Shoes although now with my back constantly giving me issues, I don't know when or where I'd wear these shoes to.

Do you like retro fashion. Would you wear anything from this era?

I'm linking up with Kori of Blonde Episodes for Fashion Friday.

Have a lovely 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?
