Blogging Challenge Day 3 | My Hopes For The Future


When thinking about my future, I often think of a day when I will have set up a few businesses, invested in different markets, bought a house or two and basically settled down enough not to worry too much about my income. I'm a hardworking person. I don't believe in sitting and waiting for someone to provide for me. I take pride in accomplishing my goals no matter how much effort I had to put into it. Albeit there are times when I struggle to remain positive, to keep to the grind even when results are hard to come by but then I look at my daughter and I remember why I'm doing it all. It's for her, for her future as well as mine.
I want to be a great mum and not a perfect mum. I want to grow with Elly, to help her find her way in this world, to discover who she is and what she is passionate about.

For my immediate future, I just want to get to a more positive place. In the last year or so I have been through quite a lot and I will admit that it drained me of my energy. I'm a fighter, nonetheless. I am determined not to let my past experiences steal my joy or make me a negative person. I know I can overcome any challenges that come my way and with God on my side, I am sure to come out victorious and even more blessed.
All in all, I want life to be filled with love, laughter and personal growth.

Thank you for stopping by.

My Style: Mad About Denim

 I feel like I have put up soo many denim-related outfits of late but that's because I live in jeans. I can't help it. Let's talk about these particular jeans. They are high-waisted and have a zip that runs half-way up the calf and the fact that they stretch a little really adds to their charm. I paired them with a blue multi-layered top which I found to be so cute and feminine and topped it all off with my striped blue blazer. I love the cropped style and fit of this blazer. It instantly smartens up any outfit that I pair it with. For shoes, I opted for my grey sneakers which I first appeared on the blog here . Pops of red, in the form of lipstick and a necklace, added some more colour and brightness to the outfit.   Outfit Details: Jeans: Borrowed from my sis (Thrifted, Gikomba Market) Top and Blazer: Thrifted, Gikomba Market Shoes: Bus Station, Nairobi Earrings: Gift Necklace: Thrift Away (Instagram) Thank you for stopping by. xo

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) ...

Blogging Challenge Day 13 | 5 Ways I Learned To Be Happy (No Matter The Circumstances)

Like everybody else, I began this year on a very positive note. I hoped for a better year than I had had in 2017. I had a plan that I laid out and I was determined to accomplish a lot of what was on my 2018 list. I once heard someone say that sometimes you plan and it doesn't work out not because you haven't put in enough effort but because God has other plans for you. So the first three months of 2018 were completely upside down for me. Everything seemed to be going wrong. I won't lie to you and tell you that I carried on happy in spite of everything that wasn't working. I struggled to smile, to wake up in the morning, to face my day, to be around people. However, I was determined to find lasting happiness. I wanted to find a way that would ensure that I remained happy even when life seemed to be going against me. I did my research and tried out a few things and found the 5 ways listed below that I have now been putting into practice for the last four or so month...
