MATERNITY FASHION: Office-wear

Hello lovelies! I realized that since I had my little angel, I have abandoned maternity fashion even though there are a number of you who are going through that amazing period when you are anticipating your little one. So I decided to continue with that series and break it down a little. Today's post is on office-wear that is suitable for maternity.

Speaking from experience, those nine months were the most trying when it came to making wardrobe choices. It's quite easy to get into a rut of wearing dress-tops and leggings. Below, I've put together more more office-appropriate outfits.

1.Wrap dresses

These are feminine and classy and very versatile. You will be able to wear it after your baby comes!

2. Maxi dress

The beauty of maxi dresses when worn during maternity is that no matter how big your stomach gets, chances are the dress will remain long and flowy and not get hiked up to an uncomfortable length. A striped maxi dress calls for attention and takes the attention away from your baby bump. You can either add a belt or do without.

3. Blazer/Cardigan

A blazer or cardigan worn over your maternity dress will turn it from just another maternity dress to make it office-appropriate. Add a belt or brooch to complete the outfit.

4. Knee-length dresses

5. Trousers

I didn't wear trousers much during my maternity, but there might come a time when you need a change from all your maternity dresses.

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...

What I Wore | Feminine Pieces

Some days ago I watched a YouTube video that inspired me to push myself a bit more. I can't remember what the video was all about but I remember the vlogger saying that you should create more than you consume. That what we consume should serve to inspire us to create more. Ever since I watched that video, I have been asking myself why I don't create as much as I used to. I feel like I have let my creativity slide and half the time I feel disappointed in myself for slacking. Granted, life has been tough on me over the last couple of years and this has had a domino effect on different aspects of my life. I would love to get to a point where the happenings in life don't have such an effect on me but that is a work in progress. I've been trying to push my creativity through my choice of outfits. Most days I gravitate towards my comfortable jeggings and a t-shirt but on other days I actually make an effort to put together two pieces that I would not ordinarily wear to...
