What I wore: New Neutrals

There was a time when black,white and grey were the only neutrals I wore. Then I added navy blue to the mix. Now I gravitate towards browns and khaki greens as my neutrals.

I never used to like green or brown in any form but for some reason, I'm loving them more and more now. Maybe it has to do with all the earth tones I've been seeing fashion lovers wearing lately.

Even so, this outfit is me trying not to wear trousers in this frigid, uncertain weather that we're currently experiencing in Nairobi. I learned that wearing several layers is perfect when you live in a place where you experience multiple weather patterns in one day. So the coat will come off when the sun is up and get put back on when the temperatures dip.

The versatility of these boots has surprised me. I've managed to style them more times than I thought I would like this time when I wore them with a navy dress. I like their light brown colour adds makes any dull outfit brighter.

Outfit details:

Skirt, top and belt: Thrifted (Gikomba)

Coat: Old

Boots: Gift

2ND BLOG ANNIVERSARY

Hi all!! Today I mark two years since I started blogging. First and foremost, I would love to thank all of you for all the support you have given me over the last two years. Over the last year a lot has happened on the blog and in my life that has left me questioning what value I am adding to my readers' lives. I look at some of my previous posts and wonder how I can do things differently. I want to give you all a different experience when you visit Inches To Style. Hence, with the beginning of my 3rd year of blogging, I have re-examined my reasons for blogging and have decided to take steps to bring my original ideas to fruition. My one and obly reason for starting Inches To Style was to give women and men a guide to help them dress well. After carefully observing people's outfit choices in the CBD, I felt that something needed to be done. Someone needed to come out and say, "Hey, leggings are not pants!", "You look like you're wearing a...

WHAT I WORE: Chinos and Lace

Hi all!! I hope June has been going well for you. I don't wear trousers as much as I used to. In fact when i was in college, it was very hard to find me wearing a skirt or dress. But as the years have gone by, my style choices have also changed. I wore these chinos, again, for a job interview. It was for an artsy-related job so I paired it with a lace top and my new wedges. My main purpose of getting box braids was so that I can have a "healthy" looking up-do (read big). And this is what these braids have allowed me to do. Feather earrings and a basket completed my outfit. Outfit Details: Chinos: DIY, originally from Gikomba Market Lace top: Kawangware Market, Nairobi Wedges: Bus Station, Nairobi Basket: borrowed from Mum Earrings: Ngara Market, Nairobi Necklace: gift I have been working on a new Inches To Style which I had hoped to launch at the beginning of this month, but there are still a few technical things to sor...

STYLIST: FULL VOLUME SKIRT

Hi all!! Happy November to you all!! Maxi skirts and pencil skirts not to mention tutus have been all the rage for a long time now. I still can't get enough of these skirts. However, there are a new brand of skirts that have been making the rounds. I've noticed more than one blogger rocking full volume skirts and it got me kinda partial to this out of the ordinary style. Image Full volume skirts call to mind those Cinderella dresses that some of us wore as little girls. They give the impression of twirling and make one feel like a princess. Hey, we are all princesses in our own right but it doesn't hurt to have an item of clothing to remind you hahaha!! Image From Blair of Atlantic-Pacific to Kryz Uy of Thirsty Thought , these bloggers have shown that you don't have to be 6 years old to wear these skirts. You can look as chic and elegant in a full volume skirt as you would in a pencil skirt. All it takes is a little sophisticated styling and ...
