SUMMER FAVORITES

Hi all!!

It's been too long since I blogged and the biggest reason for my absence is that I'm going through some personal style changes that I wanted to get sorted before I resumed personal style posts.

in the mean time, I think I can safely say that the warm weather is back. Although the weather conditions are unreliable, I'm taking this time to dress up in my favourite summertime clothes.

Hi-lows

It took me a while to embrace this trend but here I am taking it up as if it was a life and death situation. Hi-low skirts and dresses are great for the girl who wants to show some leg and still cover up in unexpected ways. The longer back gives the illusion of wearing a maxi or a mid-length skirt but at the front you can be a bit adventurous. The varying lengths available make this trend very versatile and suitable for any style preference. Also available are hi-low tops.

Sheer fabrics

I love anything sheer. From sheer tops to skirts to dresses I don't think I'll get tired of this trend any time soon. When the weather is nice and warm, nothing is as cooling as wearing a sheer fabric. It allows you to breath and still maintains your style.

Sheer blouses are great for the adventurous girl because you can wear them with a contrasting bra for special effect.

Bright Colors

As much as blacks and whites are among my favourite colours, I can never get enough of the effect a pop of colour has on my mood. Be it a dress-top/tunic, dress, top or even shoes, bright colors will always be my go to for the warm weather. I recently discovered bright colored leggings which I cannot get enough of.

What are some of your summer favorites? Share them in the comments and I'll pick a few to feature in the Monday Stylist feature on the blog.

Thank you for stopping by.

Happy Tuesday!!

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?
