A FEDORA, TRENCH COAT AND AWESOME READS THURSDAY

There was a morning when it was so cold that it started raining and I had just removed my braids. All I could think about was my lack of an umbrella and how awful my hair was going to look by the time I got to class. So I grabbed my trench coat and a fedora and said to hell with it! Anyone who wants to look at me funny can do as they please. I just wanted to be warm and dry.

Slacks: Trade Fair, India

Pink sweater: borrowed from my sister

Fedora: borrowed from my sister

Trench coat: Wills, India

Flats: Trade Fair, India

THIS WEEK'S AWESOME READS:

Marissa Mayer has been appointed CEO of Yahoo. Yes we'll all say, that's a woman who only cares about her career. But wait, she's preggas. Then we think again and wonder how to react. How can a woman balance such a demanding career load and take care of her family?? These short stories of successful women and how they created a balance in their lives, on IFB, brought a sense of reality. Do you think women can have it all?

My face is very sensitive. When I don't drink enough water or neglect washing it twice a day I notice immediately. Since I came home from India I've been looking for ways to take extra care of it seeing as the formula I had before doesn't seem to be enough. That's why these home beauty treatments appealed to me.

Denim jackets have become huge!!! I know, I know we used to wear them back in the day!! But fashion keeps coming back. Anna of Fash Boulevard gave it a refreshing look and she shows us how celebrities have been rocking this trend.

Happy Thursday!!

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?
