Hello 2021 + What I wore for Christmas

Happy New Year!

Every year, for quite a few years now, I have vowed to be better here, more consistent like I was when I started this blog. But the struggle has been real, you guys! I've lacked motivation, felt completely uninspired and simply didn't feel like giving this space any energy.

But, as this year rolled in, I felt a jolt of inspiration. Ideas started flooding my mind and I finally got a clear picture of what I could do with this space. It feels good, I tell you! I'd missed my blog.

Christmas was a simple, homey affair, just what I wanted and needed. Granted, I worked harder than I have in a looong time during that short holiday period but it left me feeling content. I got to spend copious amount of time with baby girl, something that I had been craving for months.

My Christmas outfit wasn't pre-planned. I simply picked a dress that I hadn't put on in a while, and one that still fit me well.

This pink maxi is one of my special dresses. I save it for very special occasions. It last made an appearance here on the blog and I will confess that I styled it much the same way save for the jewellery. I did change shoes for these photos though. I wanted to put on my new heels and this was occasion enough for me.

I hope you've had a good year so far. I'm trying to make the most of these strange times, focusing on what is within my control rather than circumstances I can't change.

I wish you a good 2021 and hope to catch up soon!

Thank you for stopping by.

Style Challenge Day 4: Change Out Your Handbag

For day four, I had to change out my handbag. Now I change out my bag almost every time I leave the house. I like to match my bag to my outfit and what I am doing that day. But there are those bags which don't get out to play as much as other bags, so for this challenge I opted for a bag that I hadn't carried in a while, my backpack. Having picked out my bag already, I had to put my outfit together around the bag. I opted for a black wrap dress ( last worn here ) paired with a denim jacket and some metallic grey flats. I chose a brass and red necklace. I thought the red of the necklace picked out the patches of red on the bag quite well. In terms of make-up, I wanted something neutral so I picked a brown lipstick. It was a nice change from my usual red lippies. What do you think of this outfit? Do share in the comments below.

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) to st

GOOD GROOMING: Nails 101

Continuing with last month's theme, I've decided to do a feature this month on good grooming. This will be posted every Thursday throughout the month of October. I believe good grooming is an essential part of being elegant and stylish. You can't possibly wear good clothes and not be well groomed and expect to be admired. This is the second post in the Good Grooming series. Last week I posted about the importance of taking care of your hair . Nails form an integral part of a person's outfit. A man and woman should have well-groomed nails. They speak volumes on the kind of person you are. I have formed a habit of looking at people's nails when they are sitting next to me in the bus. When I see a man or woman who is impeccably dressed and their nails are well manicured, I can't help but admire them and give them marks for being so well turned out. Many people don't realize it but your nails do get noticed especially when writing or typing. I don'
