DRESSED IN MUSTARD AND STRIPED SKIRT

Hi all!! Are you as excited as I am that it's nearly the weekend?

Lately I've been leaning towards wearing more skirts and dresses than trousers. This doesn't mean that I don't wear trousers, it's just that I'm beginning to prefer wearing more feminine pieces. I guess what with my not so new job and my changing lifestyle, my style choices are changing.

I wore this striped navy dress as a skirt and paired it with a cowl neck top and mustard-yellow sweater to the office yesterday. I'm becoming a pro at wearing dresses as skirts and vice-versa. I don't want to shop so much for clothes that I'll get tired of in no time so I try as much as I can to buy versatile clothes.

Outfit Details:

Navy striped dress: Gikomba Market

Cowl-neck top: Gift

Mustard sweater: Chandigarh, India

Navy leather belt: Gikomba Market

Handbag + jewellery: gift

Wedges: Nairobi streets

This outfit was inspired by one of Jane's looks on Jane by Design. I'm currently obsessing over this movie and watch it every time I need style inspiration.

And, continuing with my streak this week, I'm trying to style my hair differently everyday. This is my second day.

i2s Extras:

I just love the Obamas style. Mrs Obama and her daughters looked great while celebrating President Obama's victory yesterday. I can't wait to see more of Mrs Obama's great style.

Do you think Sasha and Malia will take after their mum's great style?

Happy Thursday

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?
