Just Like You, Aotearoa
Hi - I'm Kim
I’m a personal stylist and colour analyst based in Southland, trained through the London College of Style.
I work with women who feel stuck with what to wear, unsure of what suits them, or disconnected from their style.
My approach is practical, supportive, and grounded in real life — not trends.
I’ve been where you are.
For most of my life, I struggled with wardrobe confusion and feeling at home in my body. I know what it’s like to stand in front of a full wardrobe and feel like nothing works.
I’ve made the same mistakes many women make — buying clothes that seemed right at the time, but never quite felt like me. Spending money on pieces that didn’t suit my shape, my colouring, or my lifestyle, and then wondering why they sat unworn.
It’s frustrating, and it can knock your confidence more than you expect.
What changed?
I discovered that when you understand your colours, your shape, and your personal style, everything becomes easier.
Getting dressed feels simpler. Shopping becomes more intentional. Your wardrobe starts to work for you instead of against you.
That’s what led me to train through the London College of Style and turn this into the work I do today.
My Approach
I don’t believe you need a completely new wardrobe or a certain body type to feel good in your clothes.
I believe you need to understand what works for you.
My approach is about helping you:
-
understand your colours
-
learn what suits your shape
-
build a wardrobe that fits your lifestyle
-
feel confident in your choices
No pressure, no judgement — just practical, personalised guidance.
A little more about me
I’m proudly Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Māmoe and Waitaha, with Scottish and English heritage, and I bring that richness of identity into everything I do.
I’m also a size 14–16 woman who shops everywhere from op shops to New Zealand designers, so my approach to style is grounded, realistic, and inclusive.
