Blogging Challenge Day 12 | My Most Cherished Memories

It's very hard having to select a few instances of my life and label them as my most cherished memories. Nevertheless, I have selected five events, listed below that I would consider very memorable mostly because they were either goals that I had or said events changed the course of my life for the better.

1. The first time I held Elly
The very first time I held my daughter, I felt so much love at the sight of her. I couldn't believe that she was finally in this world. If I was to quantify them, this would be my most cherished memory.

2. Finally getting my driving license
Going to driving school has been on my to do list for about three years now and something always happened that made me postpone going for classes. But this year, I finally did and I am so happy to strike this item off my to do list for 2018.

3. Starting my shop
Having a clothing store has always been a dream of mine. One of my goals when I started this blog was to eventually have my own shop. This dream is so ingrained in me that even when business has slowed down a bit I find it very hard to pack it all up. Instead, I feel even more motivated to work towards achieving this goal.

4. Getting a writing job
Writing has always been a part of me. I started to write in primary school and over the years it has taken different forms but my overall goal was to work for a magazine and eventually produce my own publication. I'm very fortunate to have a mentor who is just as keen on establishing me as a renowned writer as I am.

5. Starting my blog
This blog was my first public outlet for my writing. I'm sad to admit that for the last few years, I haven't been as consistent here as I would love to be. My consolation is that no matter how much I am going through, I haven't given up on it yet and I am determined to keep at it as my creative outlet.

What are some of your most cherished memories?

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?
