What I wore: Feminine silhouettes

Over the years, I've noticed that my personal style has evolved. Apart from my preference for comfort, I've learned to love more feminine pieces, so much so that I now prefer dresses over trousers. Maybe this has to do with the fact that it is blistering hot right now and just the thought of putting on a constricting pair of jeans at the moment makes me feel like I will melt. Or, I've been influenced, haha! You see, baby girl loves herself a dress or two. So she might have had a hand in getting me to wear more dresses than trousers.
Anyway, my preferred silhouette when it comes to dresses is bodycon or a-line/skater-style. They're super easy to style, in formal or casual shoes, and can be worn for every occasion from the office, to lunch with the girls to a night out. 
This dress checks all those boxes. Although I tend to wear it for smarter functions, I can see myself dressing it down should the need arise. I'd like to say that styling it like a skirt like I did here was intentional but it was cold when I wore this (and took these photos) so the cream coat had to make an appearance.
The black heels were the simplest shoes I had that would allow this dress to shine through. I felt the deep black colour contrasted well with the lighter peach and cream colours of the rest of the outfit.


Thank you for stopping by.

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) ...

Celebrity Style Crush | Beyonce's Maternity Style

She might be expectant but Beyonce's maternity style has inspired me beyond words. I am loving the colours and prints, the ripped denim, colours and boho vibe that she is showcasing. Be it in jeans or a fancy gown, Queen Bey always looks put together. And does anyone understand how she wears heels when she is pregnant?? Maternity style tips: Opt for colour. Colour will cheer you up and brighten your outfit at the same time. Even if you opt for a black ensemble, add a pop of colour in the form of a coat or with your accessories. Long and flowy dresses don't necessarily have to be frumpy. Figure-hugging maxis or those with an empire waist will be both comfortable and flattering. Add fun accessories like statement necklaces, bags and shoes with interesting details like a message or embellishment. When wearing loose flowing tops, opt for fitted lowers like jeans or leggings to add some proportion. Photo Credits: 1 , 2 You m...

Investing in myself | It's my birthday

Another year older! September is one of my favourite months of the year. Not only is the month  when I started my blog  but it also happens to be my birthday month.  For years I've let this day just go by, smiling whenever people wished me a happy birthday even when deep inside I wasn't too happy. But I wanted to make this birthday different. I was determined to spend it in the best way I possibly could; taking care of myself. I made sure to dress up, even with nowhere to go and did my nails (something I'd been postponing for weeks!). I also decided to do something that I enjoy but hardly make time for i.e. take photos and update the blog! I've wracked my brain trying to think of what to gift myself this year and I couldn't make up my mind. This year being what it is has made me rethink many things. I don't really need to add anything to my wardrobe, my jewellery collection is sufficient although I can't help but admire beautiful accessories online, but do I...
