My Style: Side-Slit + Shoulder Cut-Outs

Do you have that one garment (or maybe there are several) that you didn't love when you first bought but in time you fell in love with it and now you keep it to wear on only special occasions? This skirt is one such item. I bought it shortly after Elly was born but I didn't get to wear it up until some time last year. And then I fell hard for it. I now keep it for those special days when I want to feel dressed up in my usual smart casual way.

I have wanted to try out shoulder cut-outs, or rather cut-outs of any kind, for the longest time. I just couldn't get clothes that I loved but this top changed that for me. I bought it to pair with a black leather pencil skirt and my block heel ballerinas but the skirt ended up being too small at the waist so I gave up that idea. I ended up keeping the top waiting for the perfect time to wear it.

I tried both of these together and voila, another of my favourite outfit combinations. My lavender flats, gold loop earrings and a bold lip completed my outfit.

The sun is out in Nairobi so I'm taking advantage to finally wear some of my warmer weather clothes which I had really missed. I can't wait to share more with you.

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.

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?
