AUDREY'S STYLE: MIDI DRESS+DENIM JACKET




Hello lovelies!
Midi dresses are a style of dress that can be a little bit awkward especially because of the undefined length. I bought this dress mostly because I loved the colour. Then I discovered that it was more of a midi dress than a knee-length one and I thought it would be a difference from the dresses I usually wear. I am more a fun of maxis and knee-length dresses but like I said yesterday, these nine months have been an adventurous time for me style-wise. I have actually managed to get out of my cocoon and try on clothes made with different fabrics (hello stretch material) and lengths (case in point mid-length). Come to think of it, I wore this mid-length grey dress some time last year so that counts for at least two such dresses.


 I wore this outfit for my doctor’s appointment on Monday. I honestly didn’t put too much thought into this outfit. Instead I just pulled the first thing that I saw. I was so sleepy that morning and it had been raining the whole weekend so the Monday blues were warranted. Green was my colour of choice to break up the monochromatic blue of the dress and denim jacket. My messy hair needed covering and these are my go to shoes these days since my swelling feet don’t permit me to wear most of my other shoes.

On another note, the other day I was going through my wardrobe trying to figure out which of my maternity clothes I’ll keep and which I will not and this dress begged to be among those that will be made smaller and kept. I will do so mostly because of the colour and long sleeves (I don’t have too many long-sleeve dresses).
I hope you are all having a great week. I’m so happy tomorrow is Friday. I’ve had enough of this week and really want to get on to the next one.




Thank you for stopping by.

Happy Thursday.

A labour of love: Long days, bee stings and a global premiere

“Amkeni” roughly translates to “Rise Up” in Kiswahili. This is the call of Chambuko Amkeni, a community-led conservation group involved in mangrove restoration and protection. In 2025, I had the honour of working with them to document their journey on women’s leadership in coastal and marine conservation, climate change adaptation and the blue economy, for a collaboration between Mission inclusion and the BBC StoryWorks'   for the   Living Legacy Series . This was my first time working on a project of this magnitude not to mention one that would have a global audience. To say this has been one of the highlights of the last two years is an understatement. Just thinking about it, my heart swells with pride. I feel like a mother watching her baby grow and come of age (please don't tell my daughter this!). With members of the Chambuko Amkeni Group Leading the production of Amkeni with my amazing colleagues was a true labour of love. A vision come to life thanks to the support o...

Rediscovering myself

A few blog posts ago I alluded to struggles I'd been facing for a few years now. I said that I would address these issues here soon but honestly, I didn't know when would be a good time. So I thought that today is as good a day as any. Last year I was diagnosed with trauma. It had been years in the making, a result of an emotionally abusive relationship and years of challenging events with seemingly no respite in sight. Although I had eventually gotten out of the relationship, I had unconsciously allowed this person's opinions of me become so ingrained in me that I had lost all knowledge of my former self. I lacked self-confidence. I blamed myself for many things that had happened in my life. I was perpetually sad and struggled to find even the smallest things to smile about. I had no motivation to do even those things that I loved. I would take photos and see my smiling face but deep down I knew that was just a front. I was broken, a shell of my former self. Now I'm no...

Blogging Challenge Day 13 | 5 Ways I Learned To Be Happy (No Matter The Circumstances)

Like everybody else, I began this year on a very positive note. I hoped for a better year than I had had in 2017. I had a plan that I laid out and I was determined to accomplish a lot of what was on my 2018 list. I once heard someone say that sometimes you plan and it doesn't work out not because you haven't put in enough effort but because God has other plans for you. So the first three months of 2018 were completely upside down for me. Everything seemed to be going wrong. I won't lie to you and tell you that I carried on happy in spite of everything that wasn't working. I struggled to smile, to wake up in the morning, to face my day, to be around people. However, I was determined to find lasting happiness. I wanted to find a way that would ensure that I remained happy even when life seemed to be going against me. I did my research and tried out a few things and found the 5 ways listed below that I have now been putting into practice for the last four or so month...
