MONDAY STYLIST: STYLE IN THE RAIN PART 2

By
Hi all!!! I hope you've had a fantastic weekend. On Saturday was my brother's birthday and we celebrated from Friday evening to Sunday evening. It was a lot of fun and we had ALOT of roasted meat, drinks cake and ice-cream. He was so happy with the fact that his family and friends celebrated his day.

For today's Monday Stylist, I wanted to showcase some of the outfits I've been putting on in this rainy weather.
Skirts are so nice when it's raining because you don't have a chance of them getting soaked. I've been wearing skirts and dresses a lot lately. I pair them with boots or closed-toe wedges to prevent my feet from getting soaked and to keep me warm.
  

The temptation to wear dull colours when the weather is dull is so high but I'm really struggling to ensure that I add some colour to my outfits. I found that the more colour I wear the better my mood is during the day.

Including trends in my outfits also serves as a mood uplifter (is that even a word???). Here I chose peplum, the timeless animal print, a DIY pencil skirt and wedges.

i2s Extra:
  • Patent leather is the best option to go for when it's raining. Rain water doesn't penetrate through it and this will ensure that you keep the contents of your bag dry,
  • Patent leather shoes are also ideal for this kind of weather. I'm not a huge fan of these as I prefer leather shoes, but I've come to realize that I destroy my leather shoes every time I wade through mud and rain water pools.
  • Since it gets a little chilly when it rains, layering is important if you want to prevent yourself from getting sick. Wearing a few more layers than you usually do will keep you warm and in case it warms up, you can always remove them.
 Have a spectacular week:)

Happy Monday!!!

My Style: Mad About Denim

By
 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

By
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?
