Eight No-Spend Activities I Love

Over the last couple of months, I have learnt to find ways to enjoy myself and spend little to no money. Most of these activities are indoor activities.

1. Reading

I love reading and I'm trying to read more. I tend to spend a lot of time watching things either on YouTube or a series but this is something I have been trying to change.

2. Cooking

I find cooking very therapeutic. I love coming up with new recipes using ingredients that are already in the house.

3. Upcycling my clothes

A friend gave me this idea some time back but I have been unable to sufficiently take it up until I decided that I needed a new wardrobe. Since I still like some of my old clothes I decided to give them new life by upcyling them.

4. Sort through my photos

My photos folder on my laptop is a mess and I have taken to going through my old photos sorting them out into the appropriate folders and eventually backing them up. I have been saying that I want to print some so I think that will be a project for next year. I also enjoy reminiscing on times gone by especially when going through my daughter's baby photos.

5. Review my goals

I found that by reviewing my goals I am better able to remember them and work towards achieving them. I also like ticking off those that I have achieved and it feels so good seeing those crossed off.

6. Write

I have always loved writing. It's such a creative outlet for me. I have started writing up more blog posts (even if I haven't gotten round to putting that many up but look out for more content this month) and journalling more.

7. Organise and declutter

Nothing gives me satisfaction like sorting through my closet and organising cupboards in the house. It leaves me feeling so clean and tidy and ready to take on the world!

8. Paint my nails

I do this every week or every fortnight. Sometimes my daughter joins in and also gets her nails painted.

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?
