Taking Stock #2.2017

Happy last day of November. I'm so excited for the last month of this year but before we get overtaken by the events of the holiday season, let's take a moment to  reflect on the happenings of the last month. This November I have been:

Making lists. I have already worked on my new year's resolutions, current and next year's budget, and shopping lists for my and Elly's wardrobe overhaul.

Eating healthier. I'm trying to eat less carbs especially at night and eat more vegetables and fruits. It's really hard to stay away from fried foods (like fries, yum!) but I'm taking it one day at a time.

Drinking more water. I don't know what happened to me but post-baby, and that was almost four years ago, drinking enough water throughout the day has become such a struggle and I can't drink flavoured water so I just have to struggle through it.

Reading Ian Rankin's Witch Hunt and my current favourite blog, Thought Catalog.

Listening to Christmas Carols. By mid November I couldn't wait any longer. I love Christmas. I get so excited this time of year.

Loving spending time on my own. (Not in a creepy way) It's giving me time to reflect and get to know myself better.

Planning Christmas: gifts; meal; activities; trips; the whole shebang.

Thinking about my hustle come the new year.

Learning how to take better care of my natural hair.

How was your November?

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?
