Trends To Try: The Turtleneck


It looks like 90s fashion is back with a bang. From chokers and bodysuits to dungarees and now turtlenecks. The list of trends to try is long and it excites me. These trends bring back such memories of my childhood and remind me of clothes that I loved but unfortunately outgrew.
Today, let's talk about he turtleneck.

Style Tips
In order to look slimmer while wearing you turtleneck:
  • Wear a good, supportive bra
  • Avoid long, statement earrings
  • Opt for hairstyles where your hair is away from your face
  • Elongate your torso by tucking in your turtleneck
  • To modernize your turtleneck, pair it with a statement necklace (or layered necklaces), sleeveless coats and cropped trousers.
  • Opt to have your shirt tails and cuffs sticking out under your turtleneck sweater

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...

Celebrity Style | 06/02/2015

This week's Celebrity Style post features a new style icon and some old favourites. I like the controversy, well, I enjoy how the Kardashians keep people guessing. While I admire the three older sisters, and would almost kill for a taste of their Kardashian Kollection, I have developed a liking the two younger sisters more and more. I especially like Kylie Jenner. I was gushing over her magazine shoot for Cosmopolitan the other day and couldn't help but admire her in this black crotchet midi dress. Then there's no hiding how much I love Lupita. Did you know she is the cover girl for Lucky Magazine for March this year? As much as I love to see her in various shades of lipstick, it's nice to see her au naturelle on this cover. And then of course there is my other favourite, Kerry Washington who once again wowed in a polka dot dress by Dolce & Gabbana that inspired a DIY which I can't wait to share with you. Don't you just love her cute p...
