MONDAY STYLIST: 3 WAYS TO WEAR BLACK TROUSERS

Hi!!! I hope you had a fabulous weekend. I spent mine catching up with my chores and my reading which has been piling. I also managed to do diys which I hope to complete in the course of the week. I didn’t quite manage to do everything I had hoped but at least I accomplished something.

Black trousers are a wardrobe must-have in any girls’ wardrobe. They can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. In today’s Monday Stylist, I want to give you three simple ways to dress up your black trousers for 3 different occasions.

1. Working Girl

For this look I chose a sheer top with Peter-Pan collar, a cobalt blue tuxedo jacket and black heels and handbag. Depending on your office dress-code, you can pull out some bright colours to cheer you up (and your colleagues as well). Pairing red and blue is a good way to do this. Add stud-earrings for a simple yet chic office look.

2. Night Out

When on a night out, you can opt to pull out all the stops. I went for a peplum top which has sequins. Wear peep- toe booties in a neon colour, a clutch bag and statement jewellery.

3. Weekend out

For a day spent with the girls or running errands, I went with a loose-fitting knit sweater-top, floral ballet flats and a cross-body bag.

Opt for trousers made from blends with cotton so that they don't crease easily. As much as I love cotton, sometimes the fabric creases so much and if it's black collects so much lint.

Black trousers are very versatile. Which other ways would you style them?? I hope this post was helpful!!!

Happy Monday!!!!

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?
