Taking Stock #1


I enjoy reading these posts so I thought I would put up my own version on the last day of every month just to share with you my favourites in the past month. Over the month of October I have been:

Making chocolate chip mug cake made in the microwave. I'm not the biggest fun of baking but my daughter loves baked goods so I have been forced to relearn how to bake and guess what, I'm enjoying it so much!

Eating too much. My appetite has suddenly increased and it makes me worried because it means I need to work out more otherwise I will have to buy new clothes.

Drinking a lot of black tea (strong tea for my fellow Kenyans). I don't know why but these days I crave tea :)

Reading Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun and Joan Thatiah's I'm Too Pretty To Be Broke.

Listening to A LOT of Charlie Puth. We don't talk anymore is my new favourite song.

Loving my newfound inner strength.

Planning a mummy-daughter day out. I recently had one with my daughter and she seemed to really enjoy herself. Now that she is older and can enjoy different types of outdoor activities, I'm feeling more and more encouraged to go on more and more adventures with her.

Thinking that I need to start growing my nails and keep them polished. I have been keeping them short and without nail polish forever and I'm getting bored of them like this.

Learning to have faith in God and let him guide me to my destiny.

I hope you've had a good month of October.

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?
