Life Update | Where Have I Been

Happy new week guys! I hope you have been well.
It's been over a month since I posted here. My sincerest apologies for the non-scheduled hiatus. June was somewhat of a life-changing month for me, in a good way. As you all know, I have been wearing glasses ever since I can remember. When I wrote my memoirs of a bespectacled girl part one and two, you can read them here and here, and shared with you how excited I was to get new, trendier frames (read full post here), I didn't imagine that a few years down the line my life would change drastically.
You see, last month, I had eye surgery and now I can function without my glasses and only need to wear glasses to read!

I feel like a new me, like my whole life has changed and I get to live a new life. I can't adequately express to you the joy I feel when I wake up in the morning and I don't have to reach for my glasses just so that I can look at my daughter lying in bed fast asleep or check my phone for messages. I realize that I look quite different than I did with my glasses on and I know that if I meet people who knew me before I will have to reintroduce myself but I don't mind. Being glasses-free has given me a new lease of life and I am soooo happy.

Now that I am back to blogging, I feel like my life is slowly coming back to normal. I have been thinking a lot about my blog and what I want to write here. I am slowly getting over outfit posts. I feel like I have outgrown them. I would like to cover other lifestyle-related topics giving more life tips. For fashion, I think instead of focussing solely on my personal style posts, I will pay more attention to giving tips and hacks that I have tried or come across. What do you think? Would you like such posts? Do let me know what sort of posts you would like to see more of on the blog.

I hope you have a good rest of the month. Happy Monday!

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?
