TRENDS TO TRY: The Colour Grey

Grey blazer
Hello lovelies!
 Allow me to preface this post with my understanding of fashion trends. When it comes to following fashion trends, I am usually a bit reluctant to jump on the bandwagon. This is mostly because I have a no desire to walk around dressed like everybody else. For this reason, I hate shopping in exhibitions and clothing store chains. I like the thrill of buying something unique. Even though the item of clothing is a huge trend, I like to look for something different that I can be sure I will not find every second person I meet on the streets wearing. I have taken the same approach with my online shop. Each item is one of a its kind. For example, if it is a black maxi dress, I will get different cuts, fabrics and designs all with the same concept but completely different from each other.

My way of following trends does not favour those who like to copy exactly what they see on the streets or on the various social media sites. That is why you will catch me watching runway shows just to get an idea of how I can change up the ordinary blazer to get something outstanding. When I go shopping (I shop A LOT in markets, an art referred to as thrifting) I pay more attention to the unusual clothes and shoes than to the ones I have seen countless times until they have become boring.

For instance, one of the IT colours this year is grey. Another is orange. In my favourite colour phases, I have gone through an orange phase so I am more excited about trying out grey. Infact, I am going all out with not only my clothes, shoes and bags but also with my nails and decor, particularly now that I am preparing for the arrival of my little one. For me, grey is one of those colours that I can pair with absolutely anything. I can also wear head to toe grey and not look overdone. 


After scoring through Pinterest and some of my favorite blogs, I have put together some of my favorite items in grey. You can follow the board here.

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?
