SUNDAY DRESS AND DIY INFINITY SCARF

Some dresses look great on display before you buy them. And when you wear them, they kinda make you look like you are expecting and if you are not, it can be quite disconcerting when people ask you uncomfortable questions. This dress is one such dress. I went shopping with my friend who spotted it and told me to buy it immediately. I did and ended up loving it. I especially love the print on the hem. I had been meaning to wear it for a long time then I realized that it looked a bit big on me. So I wore it with a grey sweater, cinched at the waist with a blue belt. I added my plaid ballet flats and metallic clutch, a pair of loop earrings, bangles and a scarf to complete the outfit.

One of the current winter accessories are infinity scarves. I love the idea of having a scarf that keeps you warm and yet doesn’t have its edges dangling all over the place. It’s very easy to make a DIY infinity scarf. You can make one using two different scarves as seen in this video.

Or as I always do, you can just loop your scarf around your neck and tie the ends together. Make sure to hide the knot under the folds of the scarf.

Today is my little sister's 18th Birthday!! How time flies. I remember when we were told mum is coming home with a baby girl and we were so excited. And today she confirms to those of us still in denial that we are indeed getting old!
Happy Independence day to all my American friends.

Happy Wednesday!!!

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?
