Hey y'all! I hope this message finds you well.
Birthdays have a way of making you pause and reflect. A way of sharpening your taste and fine-tuning your personal style. As you grow, you understand what you like, what fits, and what feels aligned. There’s less appetite for experimentation that doesn’t serve you, less need to prove range, and more interest in refinement.
In honor of my 37th birthday, let's explore Bourgeoisie style:
If I had a dollar for every time someone has called me bougie or high maintenance in my lifetime, I'd be retired, sunbathing on an exotic beach right about now. It was something that use to bother me because I didn't want to be seen as different or ostracized from the masses, but as I got older, I embraced it. Because yeah, I do have high regards and standards for myself and my environment. I owned it so much that for many years I coined KeeshUBougie as my social media handle, lol.
But for me, bourgeoisie style isn't exclusively about wealth or logos, but polished structure and regality. The kind of dressing that suggests stability and discernment. Bourgeoisie style leans into tailoring, crisp blouses, structured handbags, bold jewelry, and intentional shoes. Pieces that don’t chase attention because they assume it. There’s something powerful about choosing clothes that imply permanence. That look like they belong in rooms where decisions are made and feel inherited.
I believe another year around the sun doesn’t ask for reinvention, but refinement.
For auditing and continually choosing alignment over trends. The bourgeoisie aesthetic reflects that shift — less urgency and more assurance. What I appreciate about this style is its restraint. The silhouettes are deliberate. The palette is controlled. And the accessories are purposeful.
And for me, that's what birthdays represent:
Not becoming someone entirely new, but stepping further into the version of yourself that already knows.
Bourgeoisie style isn’t about exclusion, but clarity. About dressing like you trust your own taste. Like you’re building something long-term and owning your personal style.
Until next time.
