March In Retrospect

By
 Happy new month!
It's already April! Where did the the first quarter of 2016 go? March was a slow month here on the blog. I'm trying to juggle a lot of things while dealing with a few personal issues so there are times when I really want to do nothing but blog but I just can't come up with content that I think is good enough. I hope this changes soon because this blog is my pet project, that little something that makes me tick and I would love to give it my all. #goals for April.

March has left me

1. Feeling inspired by

a. This quote from Zoe Saldana. March has been all about seeing myself with fresh eyes, learning about my emotions and seeing why I react in certain ways. I read this post on self actualization which really helped me in my quest to see myself more clearly.

b. This Facebook page. I'm always looking for ways to remix my clothes, get ideas on how to get the best value for my money i.e. to make sure that I wear something many, many times and also to relearn how to accesorize. I have become very lazy at accessorizing so I'm always on the look out for new ideas.

2. Learning how to


 Embrace a leaner, more streamlined closet. Part of a challenge that I face every time I am sourcing for new stock for my online shop is the temptation to get new clothes for myself. While this year I have been transitioning, I at first felt the need to get a whole new closet, so I did, but with time I noticed that my closet was getting fuller and fuller while I didn't get rid of all the old stuff. So last weekend I brutally emptied my closet leaving only those clothes that I love, will wear and are practical for my lifestyle.

3. Reminiscing on 
Baby girl turning two. Before I became a mum, it was so easy to put off doing something for later. But now, knowing that I have someone depending on me, I wake up every morning energized and inspired to do better today, to work harder, achieve more so that I can provide for my little girl.
Yeah, she destroyed the icing on her birthday cake

My Style: Mad About Denim

By
 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

By
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

By
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?
