TURBANS | A Revelation

The moment I convinced myself that I could wear a piece of cloth on my head and not look like a mama (older woman), I was in heaven. Thanks to stylish people like June Ambrose and our very own Nancie Mwai, I have learnt how to tie this piece of cloth in a fun, youthful way and even have a Pinterest board with ideas on how to tie turbans (as well as more inspiration on natural hair).
I turn to turbans when I need to cover up bad hair days like when my braids need undoing or my natural hair is uncombed because it is driving me mad. Since becoming a mum, I have turned to turbans more and more because I now have less time to get ready and to make time to go to the salon and get my hair done. But I am changing this. I am trying to include turbans in my day to day style and hope to feature them more here on the blog.
I have been using my scarves to make turbans since I don't get to wear them as often as I used to. I like that I am able to stretch their usability and the fact that they add more color and interest to my outfits. When I started tying turbans, I used to use muted colors but I have since become more daring and I am not afraid to wear a myriad of colors on my head.
Below are a pics of the different turbans I have had. Some have already been featured on the blog while others are yet appear on the blog.

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?
