WHAT I WORE: PENCIL SKIRT AND BROGUE BOOTIES

OUTFIT DETAILS: Black pencil skirt; Turtle neck, statement necklace; brogue booties

Happy new month lovelies!!!

With the cold weather being as persistent as it has been the last few days of July, I have been struggling to find smart, warm clothes to wear. This past Sunday was one of those days. Then I remembered that I had a black pencil skirt that had yet to make its debut on the blog. I've worn it once before with a peplum top to a job interview. This time, I wore it with a wool turtleneck and pink sweater. I added dark stockings and my favorite brogue booties.

My main issue with the cold weather is avoiding wearing dark colors from head to toe or jeans and a very thick sweater (which has become my stay at home uniform!). I have found a way of countering this temptation. Since I can't stop wearing my wools when the temperatures dip, I make an effort to buy warm weather clothes that have interesting features like this pink sweater with the flower detail, this orange cowl neck knit top with pockets in the front, or a very colorful scarf. I then try to complete my outfits with cute shoes like these brogue booties or sling back pumps. Then I added extra details like a statement necklace or statement earrings.

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?
