What I Wore | Grecian Pink

The warm weather for me means that my dresses can finally come out to play, showcasing their beauty without being swamped by coats and scarves. This dress makes me think of Greece. Its overall style is quite Grecian, don't you think? I tried to bring back old school fashion blogger vibes by colour blocking it with these suede turquoise wedges. But you know me, some black had to feature somewhere to calm my soul so I added a black statement necklace and handbag.

I've really been enjoying the warmer weather not so much the dehydration and extra dry skin and hair that comes with it. Last year when there seemed to be no respite from the cold season, I could only dream of January (who does that? lol!) and the sun and getting all my dresses out to play. Granted, I wore this in December when it finally started getting warm, hence the Christmas decorations but it's still season appropriate.

All in all, I'm pretty happy with this purchase. It's one of those dresses that I know I will keep for a long time.

Outfit Details: Dress - Thrifted (Gikomba); Shoes - Thrifted (Nairobi, CBD); Handbag - Gift; Earrings and Necklace - Dubois

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) ...

Intro

I love clothes, shoes, bags, jewellery and all things fashion. When I walk on the streets, go to offices, parties or even when I’m meeting people, I can’t help but notice what those around me are wearing. I like to take in their choice of outfit, the shoes they chose to wear and the bag they chose to carry. I look at the make up the lady has applied, is it too much or just enough? What hair style do they have? Is the outfit appropriate for the particular time of day and/or event? When I read newspapers or magazines I quickly flip to the style pages, something I’m sure many, many girls do. As I walk through the streets of Nairobi after a somewhat long absence, I can’t help but notice how Kenyan ladies as well as the guys have embraced the latest fashion trends. However, I feel disconcerted when I see people follow fashion trends blindly. As ladies, more so as African ladies, it’s important to remember your body type when choosing an outfit. Not all the trends that are in are flatteri...

Botique i2s New Collection

Hello everyone! I am so excited to finally be able to share this project with you. Over the last couple of months, I have been hard at work on a new phase of the blog and my online shop Botique i2s . I present to you my first collection created by yours truly. New Mantra After constantly being bombarded by very nice designs that make my mouth water, I finally took the bold step of making said clothes available. Botique i2s seeks to give new life to vintage and previously owned clothes by updating them into the latest trends in a process referred to as upcycling. I believe this is Kenya's first store whose clothes are made entirely out of upcycled clothes (correct me if I am wrong). Recycling is very important particularly in this day and age when our streets are filling up with trash and the garbage dumps are reaching their tipping point. Botique i2s wants to join in the recycling movement in an effort to preserve our environment. And what better way to do it t...
