WHAT TO WEAR TO: A WEDDING

Hi all!

I've decided to rename the Monday Stylist feature on the blog to What To Wear To because I realized I needed a name that reflected the meaning of the feature. It will be up on Mondays and upon special request.

It's October! I love this time of year because the Christmas season, my favorite time of year, is just around the corner. Towards the end of the year, there are very many weddings being held. This means that you might find yourself needing outfits for at least two weddings. The huge question becomes, what does one wear to a wedding?

No Denim

I have watched enough episodes of Wedding Show and Samantha's Bridal to know that certain outfits are a no-no when it come to appropriate wedding wear. For starters, wearing denim anything should be forbidden or even outlawed. I get so distressed when I see people at weddings wearing denim. Denim is casual even though it can be dressed up. Therefore, avoid it at all costs.

Colors

White should be reserved for the bride. It's her day. Let her stand out in her carefully chosen gown. There are so many other colors that will work right on this day so avoid white as much as you can. Another color that looks too harsh for a wedding is black. Black is very solemn. Reserve it for a funeral or a job interview. Navy blue or dark grey will suit you better.

Another aspect of color to consider is the wedding's color scheme. It is easy to tell what colors the bridal party will be wearing by simply looking at the colors on your invitation card. If you are still unsure, it doesn't hurt to call the R.S.V.P number on the card to enquire.

Suitable Outfits

I chose this outfit because of the colors. It is possible to look cheery and festive in other colors that are not white. Each item in the whole outfit can be worn on other occasions. The lace dress is ultra feminine and looks can be toned down with neutral accessories for a day at work. Wedges are the best if you will be on your feet the whole day. They are also suitable for garden weddings.

As I have mentioned, I love when a man is bold enough to step out of his comfort zone. These red pants and bow-tie will look amazing at a wedding since that is one place where you can go all out.

Thank you for stopping by.

Happy Monday!!

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?
