DRESSED FOR A MEETING

Last Friday I met one of the people who really inspire me. I met Carol Odero of Drum Magazine. She also writes a column on the Sunday Nation which is how I got to know of her. Carol is a lovely lady who has no airs at all!!! A good friend/ mentor told her about me and my blog and she said I could contact her. I was so scared of calling her because she's so well established in the fashion industry and here I am a girl who's only knowledge of fashion is what she reads on blogs and on online versions of InStyle Magazine and what she sees on celebrities. I was petrified!!! But on meeting her, it was so easy to talk to her. She wasn't at all unapproachable. We had a good chat and she encouraged me to continue following my passion for fashion.

As it was Friday (dress, down Friday anyone!!!) I chose to wear black jeans and this white blouse that I bought last weekend when I was hanging out with mum. The blouse has navy blue buttons which make it so pretty. I didn't want to overdo my outfit because I was heading to the office after my meeting.

It was a little chilly in the morning so I wore a black blazer, which I quickly discarded when the temperatures decided to rise.

I'm more of an accessories girl so I like to keep my outfits simple with unique accessories. I picked the blue of the buttons on my blouse and brought it out with a blue necklace, earrings and ring. As I didn't have time to change my handbag, I carried my purple bag (which I carried the whole week) and tied this blue and purple scarf to tie in the colours.

My back and leg have been giving me problems so I'm moving towards wedges rather that ordinary heels. I bought these wedges on impulse. I spotted them and remembered how long I've been longing for closed wedges to wear to work. I didn't need convincing as the size was a perfect fit.

I really like dressing up my denim trousers. It's another excuse to pull them out of my wardrobe incorporate them into my daily wardrobe.

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.

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?
