WHAT I WORE: Floral Harem Pants

Harem pants {gift}; denim shirt {sarojini, india}; shoes {muthurwa, nairobi}; sweater {ngara market, nairobi}; handbag {borrowed and made my own};

Hi all!

It’s almost the weekend and I am super excited! I plan to relax and take a little time off to get my bearing and relax from all my week day hustling.

I was never a huge fan of anything floral. In fact, whenever I went shopping, I steered away from anything that even remotely had flowers on it. That was before I went shopping with my friend Kui who in her own stubborn way (we are both stubborn and have very different styles, it’s amazing we are such good friends) got me to start wearing not only more prints but florals too.

She gave me these floral harem pants as a gift. This is the second time I wore them, I didn’t manage to take photos the first time. Because my lower half was going to be busy, I opted to keep the top half simple and understated in a denim shirt. I was coming down with the flu so I threw on this red sweater and a comfortable pair of Indian shoes whose name escapes me.
Come to think of it, I had once sworn I would never be caught dead in harem pants. But, nobody can change my mind about anything like Kui can!

I believe a girl needs a few friends and maybe a boyfriend who can make her come out of her comfort zone and try out new things. And who knows, maybe, like my experience with the harem pants, you will end up loving it. So this weekend, go out and try something you never have.

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.

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?
