FIGHTING BATTLES TO WIN


 



Hi all!!
Last month I had one of those low moments when all I wanted to do was spend hours and hours in bed and forget about the world. I didn't think there would be an end to my search for a new job. What made matters worse was my realization that my CV was all wrong. I was marketing myself poorly and had probably missed many opportunities. After spending hours rebranding and coming up with new adjectives to describe myself, I went a step further and looked outside the box. The traditional way of doing things is great and all but I needed to think of new ways to turn what seemed like bleak future bright.



What am I trying to say here? Sometimes we get stuck doing things the old way, the traditional way. And when we don't get a positive response we spend hours and hours blaming others, blaming God, blaming ourselves. I'm not going to preach here.That is not why I blog. I blog to inspire you, to give hope and new ideas to people who, like me, are trying to curve a niche for themselves. 
As we go about life pursuing our dreams, we often forget that we can put all the effort we want in "pimiping" our CV/resume, in making our selves stand out from the crowd, but without God's help all our efforts will be in vain. I had to reach the point of wondering why I put in so much effort, to almost giving up, before I discovered this. I gave God a few extra minutes every morning and evening, tried to pay more attention when I said my prayers and went to church and this week I have seen a big improvement.
My outlook on the world is more hopeful, I am more at peace and I work better each day.
Hard work and prayer go hand in hand. As you pursue your dreams, do not forget to say a short prayer asking the Almighty to guide you to your destiny.

What has your experience been in such circumstances? Share them below.

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?
