MID-WEEK REFLECTIONS: APRIL


Hi all!!
I decided to start monthly feature called Mid-Week Reflections one Wednesday, or in this case Thursday, a month, to give you a brief summary of what has been going on in my life. I thought it would be a good way for you, my lovely readers to get to know me on a personal level besides my love for fashion and personal style.

ON BLOGGING
First and foremost, I would like to say a big WELCOME to all my new readers and THANK YOU to all of you who have stuck around as I struggled to start blogging again.
After a looong hiatus, I started blogging again and this time with new found passion. A number of people have told me how much they enjoy my blog and my style. If you have ever been praised when you are feeling down, you know what a morale booster a little praise is.
One of my new found loves when it comes to blogging is trying out new styles, experimenting with hair and make up more and not being afraid of standing out from a crowd. 
Did you know Google Reader is being shut down? I have a few alternatives to following my blog: Bloglovin', Networked Blogs, Facebook and Twitter for now.

ON LIFE
You know how when you start a new friendship or relationship everything is smooth and easy? Then after the honeymoon period you start asking yourself why you even bother? I recently figured out that instead of quickly giving up on relationships that I have formed, I will learn to love the person as he or she is instead of trying to change them into what I would like them to be. As much as I struggle to always be myself, it isn't fair that I expect other people to change to fit my criteria of what is and isn't acceptable.

ON ACCEPTANCE
Apart from accepting other people as they are, I am now learning to accept everything that happens as a step in the fulfillment of my destiny. Life has many ups and downs and I am tired of constantly complaining. For instance we had no electricity the whole afternoon yesterday and as much as I had so many things to do, I decided to look at it as an opportunity to empty my closet, catch up on my reading and get a little extra cleaning done. My new mantra is to see the glass as half full not as half empty.

Do you have any new struggles? How are you learning to cope with them?


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.   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?
