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.

ACCESSORIZE: New Hair Accessories

I recently got my braids out and relaxed my hair. Well actually it's been more than a month. Having my hair out for me means that I have to find interesting and creative ways to style it. One way of doing that easily is to use cute hair accessories from hair pins to headbands. I've done a previous post on headbands that I had my eye on. I bought these a few weeks ago and thought I'd feature them in my blog. There's a specific man from whom I buy hair clips from. He always has such cute ones. I got one of Angry Birds!!! But I forgot to include it here. (The child in me!!!) The flower hair clips come in more colours but I had to narrow down and pick just a few. I find these colours to be fun and refreshing, ideal for summer! And as usual I had to include a black one in the haul. I bought these headbands at the same time as the Angry Birds hair clip. I didn't keep them in the same place. I guess that's why I forgot about it. Hmmm seems to me ...

WHAT I WORE: Cropped Sunday

Hi all!! Happy new week! My love for crop tops has reached an ultimate high. So much so that I got one of my old t-shirts and made a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) crop top. I wore it yesterday, paired with my blue maxi skirt. I added a scarf, heels and a clutch to complete the outfit. With the weather being as confused as it is, I have all my clothes on standby. There are days when I choose warmer ones and others, like yesterday when I go for something more summery. I have had these box braids for three weeks now and I must say, I am still in love with them. And, I’m becoming a pro at holding them in a bun. I now want to look for a new way to style them. Outfit Details: Maxi Skirt: gift from India Crop top: DIY, gift Sequin and lace Scarf: Gikomba Market, Nairobi KSh. 50 Heels: Moi Avenue (hawkers) KSh.100 Clutch: Ngara Market, Nairobi KSh. 100 Bangles: Sarojini Market, India Loop Earrings: gift Have you tried wearing crop tops yet? ...

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) ...
