My Style Thursday| Coffee T-Shirt

via

Seriously, it's Thursday already! I'm getting to a point where I feel like I need a pause button. Summer is slipping away! I'm not ready for it to go just yet, so I need to make the most of these next few weeks! Although it's summer and it's hot outside (ok well, typically it is...we've had some rather cool days here lately), the warm weather does NOT keep me from having my cup, or two, or three of coffee each day!! I will occasionally have an iced coffee, but I prefer it hot. Now, what I'm needing in my life is a cute coffee t-shirt to express my love of coffee through fashion!

My Style Thursday| My Love Affair with Stripes

Happy Thursday lovelies!!!!

I'd like to reintroduce myself...

Hi, I'm Keia, and I love to wear stripes!!!

These are two of the outfits I wore this past week in Detroit. I know stripes can make you look a little wider than what you really are, but I just love me some stripes! Anytime I see stripes, I'm just drawn in by them! What can I say?

Do you like wearing striped blouses or dresses as much as I do? 

Until Next Time,

My Style Thursday| My Style Crush

Is it really Thursday already? Can't say I'm mad at that! I have lots of vacay prep to do this weekend. I can't wait to start crossing some of those things off of my "To Do List!" 

Before I get in to this week's My Style Thursday goodness, I need to know that you lovelies have entered the Fourth of July $150 Amazon Gift Card giveaway I'm co-sponsoring?! Umm if not...go get the deets HERE! Go...NOW...and come back to this post!! ; ) 

Ok! Let's talk about style! 

Well, I've professed my love for classic and simple fashion many a times. Having said all that, it would only make sense that the lovely Ms. Sandra Bullock is my STYLE CRUSH! I mean Sandra can pretty much do NO wrong when it comes to fashion in my book. What I love about her style is that it's simple, yet chic, and to be quiet honest it's plain! I also find that Sandra's style is easy for me to mimic because she is my height, and my body type is similar to hers...ok well, maybe she is 15-20 pounds lighter and she's more fit...but you get my drift!!

The remainder of this post is going to be very picture heavy! I want you to soak in all of Sandra Bullock's casual style GREATNESS...ok?! Oh! And don't be surprised if you hear me talk about Sandra again in future posts! I'm obsessed!

My Style Thursday| Fashion for Your Body Type

Heyyyyy friends! Happy Thursday! 

I don't know about y'all, but on more than one occasion, I've found myself in the dressing room trying to figure out why the dress I thought was so cute on the rack doesn't look cute on me...like AT All?! Have you been there before? 

Well, I came across this nicely laid out diagram on good ol' Pinterest, and I really found it helpful!

I'm sure you have all seen something similar to this is 15 different magazines, but I feel like I was able to easily find MY body type using this particular diagram. I also think the suggested styles for my body type are spot on as well! If you must know, I'm the purple chic! Yeah, that's right I have a "Boyish" body type. Until I took a close look at this diagram, I had never really identified my body type as "Boyish" that's for sure...but it is what it is! Now I'm ready to go on a shopping spree so I can use my new knowledge of what clothes will apparently suit me best!!! 

What's your body type? Care to share?

Until next time,

My Style Thursday| Fiance's Picks

Hey friends!!! Welcome back to another week of My Style Thursday! This week I bribed my lovely fiance' to assist me! It was actually easier to bribe him than I thought it would be...he just asked me to my him a parfait in exchange! Done and done! LoL. Anyway, Big R, my fiance', is from the city of Detroit, Michigan. People from Detroit, men especially, take serious pride in their style! As a result, Big R is very stylish. He is very confident in his sense of style too. Unlike me, he has very well-established wardrobe, and he has a zone that he sticks to, which I think is super important when it comes to creating your own style. Over the years we've been together he has encouraged me to find my zone and to stick with it! Now, don't get it twisted...this is no Kimye' situation over here...I wear what I want! LoL. He just encourages me to build a wardrobe that I'm comfortable with...a wardrobe that's versatile! I'm still working at that...but I've come a long way! Ok, I'm rambling again! Here are a few pics of my handsome husband-to-be: (just so you can get a sense of HIS style!)

Ok, so it's important that you note: his French cuffed shirt, ring, watch, AND cuff links! You didn't think it was a game when I told you he was from Detroit, did you?! LoL.

We took this picture a couple of years ago. We were out for the night on a cruise along the Detroit River. (Lawd, what I would do to have those arms today!)

And this would be his version of casual wear. If you hadn't noticed already, he also dresses his little mini-me very well too!

So now that you know a little more about my man and his fashion sense...for this week's post, I asked him to pick out two outfits he would choose for me. 

This is what he chose for an EVERYDAY look:

And this is what he chose for a NIGHT OUT look:

I am personally a fan of both looks! What do you think? I had a lot of fun with this post. It was really interesting to see what Big R would chose for me! I like that his picks were both rather simple, and I'm sure y'all know by now I'm a simple girl! Let me know if y'all like these kinds of posts. I am going to try remember to ask him to chose some fall/winter looks for me a few months! 

Until next time,

My Style Thursday| Goodwill Work Wear

Happy Thursday, friends!!! I hope you all are doing well. Now if you have been around for a while, I KNOW you have taken my advice and stopped by your local Goodwill...multiple times?! I mean I know you are addicted by now, right? Well, if you still don't believe me, or if you're new to the blog...hey girl hey!...let me share with you an outfit I purchased from my Goodwill last week that I believe to be very appropriate for business casual work wear. 

What we have here is a Merona {Target} black and white striped top and a pair of casual, khaki colored Faded Glory {Usually found at Walmart} chinos. 

Seriously, this outfit can be dressed up...say a colorful statement necklace paired with a pair of leopard print flats OR you can dress it down with a chambray button down over the top and a pair of black and white Converses? No?! Holla at ya girl, now!

And yes, I paid $3.79 for the top and another $3.79 for the pants coming in just under 8 bucks. I threw these bad boys in the wash for a good cleansing, and I've already worn both pieces this week!

Lawd knows I love me some Goodwill. If I could go EVERYDAY, I would!

I also wanted to share some quick pics I snapped of the other items I picked up this last trip with you all too: 

Old Navy Coral Shorts $3.79

Mossimo Teal and Navy Blue Striped Top $3.79

Francesca's Tan and Red Embroidered Skirt $3.79

Until next time lovelies,

My Style Thursday| Everyday Classic

"Everyday Classic" by Keia on Polyvore

If I could only wear one outfit everyday...this would be the look for me. You just can't go wrong with a white tee and a pair of nice classic jeans. I'm also a big fan of simple, classic jewelry for the most part. I would love to own the Michael Kors Pendant Necklace and watch featured in this collection one day. As for shoes, I almost always wear flats and I love a good cross body bag; however, every once in a while you might catch your girl in a pair of cute strappy sandals. I am sucker for some cheetah print so of course I think that clutch is mean!

What would you wear everyday if you could? I want to know!

Until next time,

My Style Thursdays

Hey friends! I'm hoping to add a new series to the blog, called My Style Thursday. My goal is to share with you what I consider to be "my style." I say that very loosely, because Lord knows I am NO fashionista or anything even close. I have mentioned before that I am currently trying to build my wardrobe with simple, classic pieces that I can wear for a good while. Yesterday, I wore a navy blue and cream striped, cap-sleeved maxi dress. 

Dress-Ross; Necklace-GroopDealz: Flats-Target by way of Goodwill

I'm sure y'all have figured out that I don't buy anything unless it's a good deal. Well this here dress was $24.99. Yes m'aam!

This is the brand information if you're interested:

Beige by eci

From my quick research it looks like the brand is sold at Belk if you have one nearby. Overall, the dress totally suits my style, it is super comfortable, and the fit is perfect for me! And guess what, it's maxi dress season. Duh!

Sorry this picture is slightly blurry. 1) I need a better camera. 2) Big R was my photographer, and he was too busy trying to understand WHY I need to take pictures for my blog instead of focusing the camera. SMH. He's a work in progress when it comes to my blogging hobby. LoL.

Oh! To make the dress a little more work appropriate, I wore one of my favorite cardigans over it. The cardigan is by Nautica, and I got it at Burlington Coat Factory a couple of years ago. 

Y'all let me know your thoughts on this new series? What kind of outfits/looks would you like to see? 

Until next time,
