TIPS ON HOW TO GET CELEBRITY LOOKS ON A BUDGET

Hi all!! I hope you had a good weekend.

Celebrities are a huge fashion and style influence for many of us. Look how Rihanna's mohawk became a worldwide trend?? Imitating celebrity hairstyles isn't too hard because local hairdressers don't inflate their prices with each trending hairdo. But when it comes to outfits worn by celebrities, how do you "get the look"? In this post, I want to give you my tried and tested tips on how to imitate celebrity style without digging too deep into your pocket, and mostly with items already in your wardrobe.

Tips on Getting Celebrity Looks
1. Pick a style that resonates your personality.
There are some looks or styles that suit who you are and what you are comfortable wearing and others that just don't. I have come to accept this; although I greatly admire some of Nicole Ritchie's style, I wouldn't wear exactly what she does. Instead I'm more of a Michelle Obama kind of girl (at the moment though).

2. Don't be afraid to try out new styles.
At the same time, you might see a celebrity rocking something you absolutely love even when it's outside your style preferences. Be adventurous and try it out. Who knows maybe you have an inner Beyonce just waiting to be unleashed.

3. Keep it simple.
You don't necessarily have to wear an entire outfit. You can pick one or two elements of the outfit such as the style of skirt or the shoes or maybe you have a similar coat or bag.

4.Be creative
Even when you don't necessarily have all the items of a certain outfit, you can be a little creative and select similar items and pair them together. And once you look in the mirror and you aren't so sure, experiment with different tops or jackets until you are satisfied with the look. Look for details that you can change up to add something of you own.

5. Have fun!
The whole point of getting a celebrity look is to have fun and feel like a diva! So why not play around with your current wardrobe and dress like a celebrity who's style you greatly admire. Don't let anyone stop you!

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?
