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.

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?
