I’VE GOT NOTHING TO WEAR

Hi all!!! I hope you had a fantastic weekend. Mine wasn't so bad although my little sister got sick and I got to nurse her. I didn't realize how much my mum does and sacrifices when I am unwell until I had to put off my plans in order to take care of my sister. It was both a terrifying and good learning experience. Terrifying because at some point she was crying and I felt so helpless because I didn't know what to do to ease her pain. But thanks to God we got her to relax and she got better.
I recently went through a sort of crisis. To begin with I’m tired of my current wardrobe. I know one way to sort it out would be to give out or sell the things. But it takes me such a long time to buy anything. Just the thought of emptying my whole wardrobe without replacements in sight is scary. So I’ve been scoring my favourite blogs looking for ideas on how to revamp my current wardrobe. Also not having a source of income has forced me to live on such a tight budget that the thought of shopping is one I cannot entertain.

On this particular day I tried on six different outfits before I chose to wear a maxi skirt worn here and here and a sheer top worn here. Because it was a tad cold, I layered the top with a sweater and long-sleeved t-shirt. I wore boots for warmth and carried a leather cross-body bag. I added black earrings and some bangles.

Outfit Details:

Maxi: gift

Sheer top: Sarojini Market, New Delhi, India

Boots: gift

Bag: from mum

Earrings and Bangles: gifts

I love wearing black and I’ve realized that the days when I don’t want to think too hard, I automatically go for all black ensembles. What about you? What how do you get out of a wardrobe rut?

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?
