HOW TO: Go Denim Less During the Weekend

I know many people say that during the weekend you should unwind and relax and this is reflected in their choice of dress. You store away your suits and pull out the denim. But what if you are tired of wearing blue jeans every Saturday or Sunday??? You can turn to khaki!! And just because it's the weekend doesn't mean that you throw your style out the window!!!! You can be casual yet stylish!!!
I wore this outfit last Saturday when I had a lunch date with one of my very close friends.I've worn this outfit before almost exactly as it is but I wasn't quite pleased with the turn out. So I decided to give it another go and tweak it here and there to see if it will be interesting and I must say I loved it.
I paired my army bubble skirt with a white t-shirt and my mustard coloured sweater. Then I added chocolate brown leggings because it was a little chilly in the morning. Adding leggings to a shorter skirt is a great way to transition your summer clothes into winter.

To accessorize I wore my black ankle boots that have become a wardrobe staple!!! These shoes are so comfortable!! I can walk in them the whole day and not get sore feet. I added my black belt to add some interest to the outfit, and carried my metallic clutch. I finally got something metallic!!! I'm so happy. Anyway, moving on, for jewellery I chose my black chandelier earrings, cream coloured bangles, a black ring and black bead necklace.

While walking in town it suddenly hit me, why is everybody wearing blue jeans??!!! Thus I came up with a theme for this post. I think I'll dye mine a different colour. Blue jeans are too common.

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) ...

What I wore: Light florals

Happy new month! I went clothes shopping earlier this year and made sure to buy dresses that weren't black. I love black dresses but lately I've been craving a little more colour in my wardrobe. Florals and lighter colours are always a great idea when its warmer. When you think summer, you automatically think of light breezy fabrics and flowers in bloom. This is what this dress represents for me. I loved the light blue colour and the tie-waist which mean I can wear it through all my weight fluctuations (I tend to lose and put on weight quite frequently). Keeping to the light colour theme, I paired the dress with some light coloured sneakers. Thank you for stopping by.

What I wore: Feminine silhouettes

Over the years, I've noticed that my personal style has evolved. Apart from my preference for comfort, I've learned to love more feminine pieces, so much so that I now prefer dresses over trousers. Maybe this has to do with the fact that it is blistering hot right now and just the thought of putting on a constricting pair of jeans at the moment makes me feel like I will melt. Or, I've been influenced, haha! You see, baby girl loves herself a dress or two. So she might have had a hand in getting me to wear more dresses than trousers. Anyway, my preferred silhouette when it comes to dresses is bodycon or a-line/skater-style. They're super easy to style, in formal or casual shoes, and can be worn for every occasion from the office, to lunch with the girls to a night out. This dress checks all those boxes. Although I tend to wear it for smarter functions, I can see myself dressing it down should the need arise. I'd like to say that styling it like a skirt like I did he...
