If you’ve ever stood in front of your wardrobe and felt like nothing in it quite matches who you are today… you’re not alone. That tension between how we feel and what we wear is something we think about often at Perk By Kate. So when the chance came to explore it properly, with women who were curious about the same thing, we said yes.
On Wednesday, March 11th, we opened our PMQ store to a small group for "Seasons of You," an evening workshop co-hosted with Amanda from Amanda Leigh Style and Vannessa from Cascade Coaching. The goal? To unpack the connection between personal style, confidence, and identity—and to do it together, in good company.
We’ve always believed at Perk By Kate that what you wear isn’t just about how you look—it’s about how you feel. But in a city as fast-paced as Hong Kong, it’s rare to pause and ask: How do I actually want to feel? And is my wardrobe helping me get there?
That’s where this workshop came in. Amanda and Vannessa designed the evening to create space for exactly that kind of pause.
Amanda opened with a metaphor that’s stayed with us: the lobster. To grow, a lobster must shed its shell—becoming soft and vulnerable—before a new, larger one forms. It was a reminder that confidence isn’t about never feeling uncertain. Sometimes it’s about letting go of an old version of yourself to make room for a new one.
Vannessa then shifted the energy with something we didn’t expect but absolutely loved: a spontaneous dance break. (Never underestimate the power of a Wednesday night dopamine hit.) From there, the group moved into quiet journaling, mapping out personal values and the stories that had shaped their confidence over the years.
Later, Amanda introduced the concept of enclothed cognition—the idea that clothes influence how we think and behave. Using workbooks, the women explored how silhouette, proportion, and colour can either support or work against how they want to feel. It wasn’t about trends. It was about intention.
After the discussion, we did what we do best at Perk By Kate: we opened the racks.
Watching the women try on pieces from our collection was the most natural part of the evening. Conversations that had started as abstract—I want to feel grounded—became tangible. This colour actually does make me feel more like myself. I never thought I could wear this cut.
We captured those moments on our store mirror. Snapshots of women seeing themselves a little differently.
This evening reminded us why we love what we do. Style isn’t just about clothes. It’s about feeling like yourself—whatever version of yourself you’re growing into.
We’re already planning the next session for late May or early June. If you missed this one, we’d love to see you then.
Until then, you know where to find us—at PMQ, ready to help you find pieces that feel like you.
