I'm Kate Bird and, in 2012, my long-held obsession with improving my own imperfect appearance resulted in my qualifying as a Colour and Image Consultant.   

 

Over the years leading up to my training, I'd spent an embarrassing amount of time feeling ashamed of my wide and wobbly body. 

​

More recently, my body has changed again to become even wider and wobblier,  and is a couple of dress sizes larger thanks to peri, and then full-on, menopause!  

​

My personal obsession to get it right for myself eventually spilt over into training professionally so I could help others like me to feel better 

​

These days, as long as I bear in mind the following guidelines when dressing myself, I can usually be assured that I'm going to feel happy in my outfits:

​

1. ​​Wear colours that brighten my face (both literally and metaphorically).
    

2. Wear styles to give me better balance.
    

3. Wear designs that align with my personality for maximum confidence.

​

​

​Why do I specialise in colour?

 

Back in the yearly 1990s my shy, reserved mother went to get her colours 'done'. 

 

Afterwards, when she started wearing the warm, Spring-like colours that suited her, other people began asking if she'd lost weight, changed her hairstyle, done something different. 

 

They had noticed an improvement in her, but couldn't quite put their finger on what it was.  She was simply wearing colours that made her look healthier, youthful and happier.

​

I was captivated by this transformation and, since that time, had wanted to be able to create this magic myself.
