AUDREY'S STYLE: Santa Baby


 Happy holidays lovelies! How was your Christmas? Selecting a suitable dress to wear on Christmas day was no big deal (for a change!!) Bearing in mind that I have been struggling to find suitable maternity dresses in my third trimester, this was a huge plus for me! This green and white dress has been a resident in my wardrobe for at least a year now. I've worn it once or twice before. It wasn't one of my favorites mainly because it was very big on me and I couldn't figure out how to reduce it without ruining the style of the dress. So you can imagine my joy at having an opportunity to dress my baby bump for Christmas in a season-inspired green and white dress. I'm not a huge fan of green but I was amazed at how much green I have accumulated in a year.
 Christmas morning was very windy and chilly. So I added this grey blazer (which was a gift from my cousin). As I was very tired of wearing flats, I opted to wear white wedges for a change. Other accessories included a green statement necklace, green bead and white pearl earrings, green belt to create a distinction between my bust and bump, a brass elephant ring and a sparkly clutch. I added an orange lip to complete my outfit.
 Christmas comes once a year so I decided to go all out with my accessories and make-up. Being 7 months pregnant comes with all sorts of ups and downs. I was actually in a pretty bad mood the whole morning and I couldn't explain to anyone why. So I needed to go all out with my outfit just to make myself feel better.
 Some of my relatives came home for Christmas lunch and we had a blast! I haven't laughed that much in a really long, long time. It was a memorable day and I can't wait for next year when baby will be able to take part in the celebrations with us.




How did you celebrate Christmas?

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?
