4 SIMPLE GOALS BEFORE 2013

In a bid to get my new year's resolutions fulfilled before the end of the year, I decided to link up with the ladies of A Beautiful Mess and come up with 4 Simple Goals before 2013
What this entails is that I will pick 4 things that I believe will make my life richer and will keep me inspired for the rest of the year. I'll reward myself each time I manage to fulfill one of these goals and I will also blog about them. By choosing more activity-oriented goals rather than result oriented ones, I intend to have fun as I go along. For more information on this fun and inspiring challenge check out the guidelines on A Beautiful Mess.
My goals for the next three and a half months are:-
1.Get back to singing. I love singing. When I got back home I joined the choir in my church but somehow I don't fill as fulfilled as I thought I would. So I'm taking steps to join the Nairobi Music Society and get my singing mojo back!!!

2.Sewing. I've always wanted to get into dressmaking. One way to do more of this is to alter some of my clothes on my own. With enough practice I hope to be able to make my own clothes.

3.Keep a diary. I had developed a habit of writing in my diary everyday. Then life caught up with me and I ended up neglecting my diary. It really helped me manage my thoughts and now is a good time to document my life.

4.Read a French novel/short story once a week. I studied French at university but ever since I did my last exam I haven't practiced at all! I'm even starting to forget basic things. I believe by reading I'll get back into the language I love and polish it before embarking on a new language.

I encourage you to try out this challenge. I think it'll be fun and will make it easier to be able to say on December 31st 2012, that we've fulfilled some of our new year resolutions. Let me know if you decide to take part!!

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?
