Blogiversary: 5 Years of i2s

Hi loves,
Can you believe it has been 5 years since I started this blog? I can hardly believe it. It seems like just the other day I sat down to write my very first post. I remember I was on holiday from uni and I hadn't been home in almost two years and I was looking for something different and exciting to do. It was the same year when I came across fashion blogs. The one I remember reading all the time was College Fashion. I remember feeling so inspired to revive my love for fashion and to find an outlet for it.
I don't know if I have mentioned it before but I have loved clothes, making them and putting outfits together, hair and make-up right from when I was a child. But, somewhere along the way I let it slide as I tried to find something more conventional to do. However, I quickly realized, as I re-entered this world that I had loved so much in my early years, that when you love something so much it will stay with you through the years, never giving you a moments peace, until you decide to do something about it.

Back when I started blogging, I didn't know too much about the technicalities of blogging. I had the basics in terms of equipment but I didn't let that bring me down. I had an inherent need to channel my love for fashion into something I could call my own and share it with you and so I didn't let anything stop me.
As the years rolled by, my content has been more or less the same: outfit of the day, how to style new trends and a few personal development and lifestyle topics. My consistency has been wanting. I will blame this on a lack of inspiration. But I didn't let this bring me down. I have fought tooth and nail to be able to share with you and I am glad I didn't give up when blogging didn't come as easy for me as it did in the early days.
Marking 5 years as a blogger brings with it such a special feeling. While I am proud of myself for holding on for this long, I feel like I need to challenge myself a bit more to produce more interesting content and do something new. I hope to take you on a new adventure in the coming weeks.
I would like to thank each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart. I wouldn't be here without your encouragement and support. Cheers to another year of i2s.
Love you all. 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?
