MID-WEEK REFLECTIONS: May Edition



Hello there!!
I hope May has been a good month for you. I have to say that I have had to face new horizons this month and come to terms with CHANGE.

On Life…
You see my brother moved out of home a week ago and my way of coping is to banish any thought of not seeing him whenever I want. My brother and I are born one year apart and we have been the best of friends. We tell each other everything and he is one person I can count on for the truth as well as a shoulder to lean on during tough times. He is so cool, whenever I want to go clubbing guess who I ask to accompany me? Yeah. But all that came to an end when I encouraged him to take up a job that required him to move out of Nairobi. I miss him so much, but I am afraid that if I tell him, it will make it harder for him to settle down to his new life.

On blogging…
I had hoped to blog everyday this month but life got the better of me and I had a minor setback, one of them being that I fell sick last week and had to take time off to recuperate. That coupled with the tensions surrounding my hunt for a job and changes at home, made me lose psych for blogging. But I am trying a new strategy of creating my blog posts for the week over the weekend so that I have at least one post up every day.

My main lesson this month is that change is inevitable. One way or the other we all have to face it. What matters is how we choose to deal with it. There are times when I run away from the thought of change and there are times when I see it as an opportunity to gain new experiences and make new connections. So whatever you are going through at this very moment, take time out and see it as a good opportunity for you to grow as a person and as a friend.

Happy Wednesday!!

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?
