I recently undertook a shopping project for Danielle, a Kimba Likes Styling client.
Danielle was after a versatile neutral shirt that she could wear for the weekend and to the office, perhaps in coffee colour. She also wanted to buy a bigger style handbag in buttery leather, able to be worn cross-body style and big enough to fit everything in.
Danielle hadn’t been successful in her shopping ventures, so asked for some assistance. I was more than happy to help!
The Neutral Shirt
I’m sure there are loads of coffee coloured shirts out there, until I needed to find one! This is as close as I could get for Danielle. I gave her some options around the $100 mark, with one considerably cheaper and one considerably more expensive. I selected a patterned shirt in neutral colours, and a left field option, because it’s always a good idea to try something out of your comfort zone.
Danielle thought the Seed silk shirt, which is excellent value for 100% silk, would suit her best.
The Oversized Handbag
Ooh, one of my favourite wardrobe essentials – the oversized leather handbag. Again, I presented Danielle with a range of options on a sliding budget scale. I’ve got a real thing for Sterling & Hyde at the moment – can you tell? Love supporting Australian designers and small business.
This time, the left field option, the totes amazing blue Stacie tote (see what I did there?) appealed to Danielle.
If you need some help sourcing the perfect piece, please contact me on styling@kimbalikes.com.
I’d be delighted to help you out!

I thought coffee coloured shirts would be a walk in the park too – until I started to search for one! I haven’t yet ordered the one I chose because it says ‘dry clean only’ and I’m realistic to know that this wont happen. I love it, and I love that it’s silk.
And I haven’t ordered the bag either (I have another good reason though!) because while I was drawn to the blue one first, I *had* determined that what was best for me and my wardrobe was a ‘neutral’. These are the big decisions I’m faced with….
Thanks so much for having me as part of this – it was a lot of fun.
And I *will* make a decision SOON.
Nice,Kim-Marie I love the bag options but then I am a sucker for a big soft leather bag….Love!
There’s just something about their delicious buttery leather, isn’t there?
Yes indeed I like to stoke them too!
