What I Wore | Pink and Nude

Happy new month and welcome back to the blog! I can't help but smile as I write these words down. I'm as happy as a child who loves cake! I've missed my little piece of online real estate. I will put up a life update post later on to explain my absence but in the meantime, let's get on with what this blog was originally about, fashion.
I stumbled upon this dress and fell completely in love with the colour. It's a bridesmaids dress so it's a little fancy but I absolutely love it. As you might know if you're an oldie but goodie here on the blog, I like versatility whenever I buy anything. I like being able to wear something in many different ways; to get good value for my money no matter how little I spent on the item. And that didn't stop with this dress. I am eagerly waiting to style it in different ways and of course share it with you.
For style option number one, I opted to pair it with nudes so as to allow the hot pink colour to really stand out. I added simple jewellery in the form of hoop earrings mostly because my jewellery game isn't as big as I imagine it should be.
Oh and did I mention the dress has pockets! (Insert silly grin)

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...

A Pop of Colour

I tend to gravitate towards darker colours. To counter that, I always look for ways to add some colour to my outfits. Red accessories tend to be my go-to when it comes to adding pops of colour be it in the form of red shoes, a red necklace or some red lipstick. I've started using this same philosophy in life by doing something that I know will give me joy. It doesn't have to be anything extraordinary. Most of the time it's doing something I enjoy, like writing in my journal or reading a few chapters of my novel. Other times it's performing a task that I have been postponing for a while, like clearing out my laptop or talking to a friend. The end result is always a feeling of accomplishment. I look at this time as 'me time'; an opportunity to add some colour to my life.

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...
