DRESSED IN CIGARETTE PANTS

Cigarette pants or straight leg trousers have been in vogue for a while now. At first I was skeptical about trying them out. I had just landed in India and thought it was just a trend from a different culture and I was a quite resistant to buying them. But when I went shopping and couldn’t find the hipster jeans that I was accustomed to, I was forced to buy myself a pair. I liked the fit better than the slight flare of the hipsters so much that I got hooked.
These pants, previously worn here, are slowly becoming a favourite of mine. Their colour is neutral (grey) meaning I can pair them with any and all colours and a plus for me, they are not black. If you’ve been reading my blog you’ll have realized that black is one of my fave colours. On this day, I paired them with a blue tunic and pink scarf and plaid ballet flats. It was so cold on this day that I wore a trench coat for added warmth. I tend to overdress when the temperature dips. But towards the afternoon it started getting warmer, so I had to shed a few layers. Thank God this time the layers consisted of the coat only. The weather in Nairobi is so undecided it’s very hard to dress according to the season because throughout the day the temperature varies making layering a must-know.

Outfit Details:
Pants (part of a suit): Garissa Lodge, Nairobi
Sweater tunic: Ngara, Nairobi
Scarf: Sarojini Market, India (similar on Moi Avenue)
Flats: Kamla Nagar Market, India (similar in Ngara, Nairobi)
Earrings: gift
Coat: Sarojini Market, India (similar in Ngara)

How is your week going? I hope it's better than mine.

Happy Tuesday

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?
