February in Retrospect



Where did the time go? It feels like yesterday when I was writing a similar post but for January (you can read it here). February seems to have disappeared and now one of my new favourite month's of the year, March, is here!

Feeling inspired by

1. Miss Amber P. Riley.  I did a post on her for my first Celebrity Style Crush post this year and I can't get enough of her amazing style. She's a plus-size girl who knows how to dress her body using trends, choosing the right fit, to make them flattering.

2. The above quote. Did you realize the process to succeeding in anything sucks most of the time? You face discouraging people, discouraging circumstances and it may appear that you are not making any progress. But this isn't true, with every single hour that you put in just a bit of work towards making your dream a reality, you are getting closer and closer to the finish line. It's always darkest just before the dawn so don't give up. Your breakthrough is closer than you think.

Learning to
 February has been a month of self discovery for me. Among the many lessons I am learning is that I can't control the outcome of everything I do or go through. I can try but chances are life will run its course and I have to accept it even if the outcome isn't what I had hoped for. When I do get tempted to obsess over things and worry about them not working out the way I want them to, I have to quickly move on, think of more positive things and focus on doing my best now.

10 blogs I am loving at the moment
1. The Simply Luxurious Life
2. Thirsty Thought by Kryz
3. The Bomb Life
4. By Regina
5. Bikozulu
6. The Nectar Collective
7. Career Girl Daily
8. PinkPot
9. Pinch of Yum
10. Like the Yogurt

Looking forward to
-Baby girl's 2nd birthday! I am so excited and terrified both at the same time. She's growing up too fast.
-More clarity in terms of defining what I want in business and in my personal life.
-Putting up some of those post that I had planned to and never did over the years.

I hope your year is coming along great. Thank you so much for your continued support. xo

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?
