Black, White And Red

I find that when I don't feel like dressing up too much, I opt for black. There are days when I go for an all black outfit and others when I add bits of red to make the outfit pop. This black pencil skirt is a huge favourite. It was in my pre-baby wardrobe and it now fits, no, it's even loose! I love, love, love this chiffon blouse and the print is a deviation from standard polka dots, making the blouse a unique piece with loads of personality. My patent leather black Mary-Janes and red belt pulled the whole outfit together.

On another note, It takes a very special someone to motivate you to keep chasing your dreams even when you would rather not. Just yesterday, I was racking my brain trying to find something exciting to write on this old blog and I couldn't come up with anything that motivated me. Then a good friend from all the way across the ocean asked me how often I update my blog and I must admit, I was a little ashamed to say that I hadn't been as consistent as I had promised to be. I even admitted that I wanted to stop completely and she almost begged me not to. My sister has also been on my case, asking me why I don't blog anymore.
I honestly don't have a good enough excuse. I'll blame it all on work and my mommy duties, yeah, I think that is a good enough excuse, don't you? But not blogging leaves me feeling empty inside. Every evening when I go to bed, I feel like I have a blank space inside me, like I have missed an essential part of my day. So today I decided to do something about this lazy streak I have been on and put up a post. Also on Saturday is my 4 year blog anniversary so I wanted to put up something leading up to the day.

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?
