SMILE, IT'S A NEW YEAR

Hello lovelies! Happy new year!

2014 is here with us and what better time to think over the past year and look for new ways to grow, improve on our defects and accomplish new things. Yesterday, I read something concerning new year's resolutions that really struck me (you can read it here). It was posted a few years ago but I think it still applies to 2014.

I can never stop talking when photos are being taken!

I have fallen culprit to making new year's resolutions and forgetting them by the time March rolls in. Things like losing weight, eating more vegetables and fruits, having a more prayerful life etc, are but some of the resolutions I have made in the past. While watching The Big Bang Theory and something Sheldon said has struck me as true. He said, "Einstein said that insanity is doing something over and over again and expecting different results." So this year, I have decided to make my resolutions in a different way.

For the last couple of months, I have been working on my online store. To be honest, I have been taking my sweet time with this, postponing things in the hope of getting better conditions in the future. For instance it took me more than three months to finally get my own URL www.inches2style.com. Last December I finally did it. It's the main site for my online shop with links to my contacts and blog. This January I have decided to sit down and work on all the nitty gritties that I will require to make my shop more than a work in progress.

One other thing that I am looking forward to is the arrival of my little angel. January and February are the last stretch and I can't begin to express how excited I am.

I ended last year with the firm belief that 2014 will be much better than 2013. I'm holding this to be true no matter what challenges I will come across in the course of the year. I intend to end this year with a bang. I want to look back at the end of each week and say that I have accomplished something. I will live each day as if it was my last so that I can squeeze out as much as I can from each and everything that I experience.

Have you made any plans for the new year? What strategies have you taken to actually fulfill your 2014 resolutions?

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?
