WHAT I WORE: Nairobi Designers' Forum


Hi all. I hope you had a good weekend.
I've had the busiest weekend in a long time. But I'm not complaining. I've come to discover that when I throw myself into my work, I do it better and I don't stress about anything.
Yellow maxi dress, embellished sweater, and  mum's leg.
 On Saturday I attended the Nairobi Designers Forum hosted by Kipawa Creatives. The forum was organized to bring together people in the different arts so that we can learn about each other's endeavours and learn a few things from each other.

 I wore my yellow maxi dress which I am totally in love with. I previously wore it here. I paired it with my embellished purple sweater and brown/nude pumps.
I like to think of brown as another neutral together with black, white, grey and blue. That was the reasoning behind my choice of accessories. 
These heels were love at first sight. I had gone to the market to get my mum some shoes and I spotted these, tried them on and they were a perfect fit. That plus the reasonable length of the heel and the fact that it's wide just reemphasized my love for the shoes. I bought them without a second thought.

Many things came up during the forum and I made some new friends which was exciting. But what stuck with me was that God has given us talents and when we die He will ask for an account of what we did with what he had given us. I also decided it is time to make my plans realities. Enough planning. I don't want to waste any more time with people who are holding me back.

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?
