I had the great pleasure of meeting Keshia Armstrong a little over a year ago when we were selected to be a part of a fashion panel for a major department store. I fell in love with her style immediately and we became fast friends. We bonded over our love of fashion and being mothers. Keshia is a Dallas-based fashion blogger, stylist and business owner whose style is well recognized all over social media. She has a passion for helping women feel beautiful. So, let me introduce you to Keisha Armstrong.

KEISHA ARMSTRONG FROM KEEPING STYLE AFFORDABLE WRITTEN BY MARY BYRD

What is the name of your blog? Keeping Style Affordable What inspired you to start a fashion blog? I started as a stylist in 2013. I was trying to juggle my day job and being a stylist and it wasn’t working. I realized I didn’t really have a passion for styling, but I did have a passion for educating women about personal style. That’s when I realized blogging was the way to go. When and why did you decide to start an online boutique? I was receiving clothing and compensation for wearing clothing from other brands and boutiques and realized I could be making this money for myself. After procrastinating for over a year, I finally got over the fear and decided to take a leap of faith. It’s been great so far! What do you like the most about having your own business? I enjoy finding pieces that women love and can’t wait to purchase and getting positive feedback on the service that I provide. What has been the hardest part? Juggling! It’s always the hardest part. The boutique keeps me plenty busy, which doesn’t allow me much time to blog. What other goals do you have for your future in fashion or other areas in your life? My goal is to see my business grow bigger than I could ever imagine. I want to start doing charity work involving less fortunate women in my city and give back more.

Keshia is truly a Woman of More juggling many different roles in her life, but still able to focus on her passion and is making quite an impact in the fashion world! I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to meet this lovely lady. CONNECT WITH ME ON INSTAGRAM: @CURLYBYRDIE
