My Pink October

I didn't want this month to end before I did a breast cancer awareness post. Last year, someone very close to me had a breast cancer scare. She found a lump which the doctors weren't sure was cancerous. So that was the first scare. On closer inspection, they found another lump on the other side. She was sent for surgery to remove the growths. I remember being terrified for her and at the thought of losing her. I prayed and prayed and prayed like never before. The good news is that the growths weren't cancerous. The bad news is that it brought the thought of cancer, breast or otherwise, closer home. This was the second time I had someone close to me with this scare and the first time, it was actual cancer.
I am terrified of doing my exam, you know, looking for any lumps. But I know it is necessary. I know that these things are more easily treated when they are caught early. So instead of only thinking about breast cancer in the month of October, I urge you to keep vigilant and catch it early. And if you find something that you aren't sure about, seek medical attention and a second even third opinion if you are left unsatisfied.
For my outfit, I chose my beloved grey straight leg jeans whose cuffs I rolled up and paired it with this striped pink top which fits so much better post-baby. I added my pink peep-toe heels just to keep the colour-scheme with the October theme. This top always leaves me confused because I never know how else to style it. I keep pairing it with either skinny jeans or straight leg jeans.

How else would you style it? Do share in the comments below.

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?
