Owner & image consultant
Hi, I'm Debbie
I'm a certified image consultant and colour analyst, NZFIP certified, and I've been helping women find their colours and style for over 20 years. There's nothing I love more than seeing someone light up in the right shade.
It was my lovely husband Stephen who encouraged me to follow my love of clothes all those years ago. My clothing personality is Dressy Feminine with a touch of Classic Elegant, so you'll usually find me in a pretty dress and delicate jewellery.
My favourite tip: look after your shoes and your handbag. They can be years old, but when they're cared for, your whole outfit comes together beautifully.
Fashion assistants
The best shops have someone worth knowing. We're lucky to have two.
Sue
Fashion assistant
Sue has co-owned a business for 28 years and has a way of making the fitting room feel calm. She'll always give you honest, kind advice on what looks fabulous on you.
Sue is a Summer, just like Angela!
Angela
Fashion assistant
Angela joined us in July. She loves clothes and loves helping women feel confident. She has spent 30 years in customer service and 20 of them right here in North Canterbury, which means there's a fair chance she already knows you or your sister. She's originally from Southland and loves a good laugh!
Angela is a Summer too.
Between them, they've helped more women than they could count find something that felt like themselves. Pop in and say hello!
“Think trusted girlfriend advice, not judgement or trends you'll never wear.”
You may arrive as a stranger, but you'll always leave feeling like you've just spent time with a friend.

“I’ve known Debbie for many years... It’s been great to see her journey and the growing of So You. Her choice of staff is amazing and the girls are so helpful and bright and friendly. I’ve been to many events over the years and loved the atmosphere and display of beautiful clothing.”
