Wardrobe Audit Service New Zealand
A Wardrobe Reset That Changes Everything
Based in Christchurch
Experience a personalised wardrobe audit service that brings clarity, confidence, and coordination to your style.
​
I frequently travel to other centres and can either arrange a face-to-face consultation, or we can connect virtually if that suits you better.
What is a Wardrobe Audit Service?
If you’ve ever stood in front of your wardrobe thinking, "I have nothing to wear," this service is for you. I’m Stephanie Rumble, a personal stylist and colour consultant based in Christchurch, and I created this wardrobe audit service to help you feel more confident every time you get dressed. Over the course of a 3-hour session, we’ll assess what you own, what works, and what doesn’t. Together, we’ll refine your wardrobe so it reflects who you are today, aligns with your lifestyle, and supports effortless styling every day.
This isn’t just a wardrobe audit. It’s a style transformation that includes wardrobe coordination, smart outfit building, and seasonal planning. Whether you're returning to work, embracing a new stage of life, or simply want to love the way you dress, this service gives you the foundation for a confident personal style.

What to Expect From Your Session
A simple process, tailored to you:
In this 3-hour in-home consultation, we’ll start by understanding your lifestyle, goals and preferences. Then we’ll go through each item in your wardrobe with intention, combining pieces into fresh looks and identifying what needs to go. If you’re a minimalist, we can build a capsule wardrobe that gives you 30 looks from just 12 pieces. We finish with a clear shopping list and seasonal strategy.
What Sets Bright Red Apart
Personal styling with purpose, heart and experience.
With over two decades in fashion, wellness, and image consultancy, I bring more than a trained eye. I bring empathy, insight, and a strong sense of practicality. This is not about trends. It’s about who you are and how your wardrobe can support that.
Bright Red was born from my passion for helping people look and feel their best at every stage of life. I believe clothing should fit your body, your values, and your goals. As a personal stylist in Christchurch, I’ve worked with hundreds of clients across New Zealand to transform how they shop, dress, and show up in the world.
This wardrobe audit service brings together my expertise in colour consulting, body shape analysis, and fashion consulting service techniques into one powerful session. The result? A curated wardrobe that works for you, not against you.
Refresh. Refine. Reimagine.
Because your style journey starts with what you already own.
Your wardrobe is not just about clothes. It’s about your story. This service goes beyond editing clothes – it lays the groundwork for sustainable style. Through wardrobe analysis, we uncover what makes you feel good, and what no longer serves you. The wardrobe overhaul is empowering, not overwhelming.
This is also the perfect bridge to other styling services. If you’ve already completed a personal colour consultant session or are planning to, your wardrobe audit helps you bring those insights to life. Together we create a plan that ties together fit, fabric, and function.
How a wardrobe audit service transforms your daily routine
The wardrobe audit service is more than just tidying up. It’s about creating a wardrobe that reflects your personal and professional goals while saving time and money. A well-curated wardrobe allows you to dress with purpose and confidence, reducing the mental load that comes from daily outfit decisions.
You’ll stop second-guessing your style choices and start enjoying getting dressed again. Whether you’re preparing for a new job, re-entering the dating scene, or simply ready for a closet transformation, this service gives you the tools to move forward with clarity. With structure, purpose, and expert input, your wardrobe will work for you – not against you.
The value of a personal stylist you can trust
Hiring a personal stylist means you get tailored advice based on your unique body shape, preferences, and lifestyle. Instead of chasing trends or making costly mistakes, you’ll make informed, confident style choices.
With years of experience working with women across different life stages, I understand how fashion impacts identity and confidence. I offer styling without judgment, and bring practical guidance, creativity, and warmth to every session. Whether you're refining your personal image or preparing for a life change, a wardrobe audit led by a skilled stylist makes all the difference.
Using colour to create cohesion and confidence
Colour is one of the most powerful elements of style. As a colour consultant, I show you how to use colour to highlight your best features, enhance your skin tone, and create harmony within your wardrobe. A strategic approach to colour also supports smart shopping and mix-and-match flexibility.
​
We’ll revisit the results from your personal colour consultant session (or do a new one) and apply them directly to your existing wardrobe. This ensures that future purchases build upon a strong base, reducing clutter and improving outfit success. The end result? A more cohesive and joyful dressing experience.
What personal styling really means
Personal styling is about more than clothes – it’s about creating alignment between how you feel and how you present yourself. Your style should support your goals and reflect your personality without forcing you into someone else’s mould.
We’ll uncover what suits your shape, what reflects your values, and what helps you feel your best. Together we’ll build not only outfits but confidence. By layering in elements of lifestyle, self-expression, and comfort, we create a system of dressing that simplifies your life and amplifies your presence.
Personal shopping begins with your own wardrobe
As your personal shopper, my goal isn’t to push you toward buying more. Instead, we identify what’s already working in your wardrobe and where the genuine gaps are. This is why the audit is such a crucial step – it sets the groundwork for thoughtful, intentional purchases.
Once we know what’s missing, I can guide you on where to find it, whether in-store or as your personal shopper online. This approach prevents waste, saves money, and ensures every piece you add has a purpose.
Why image matters more than ever
As your dedicated image consultant, I help you recognise the power of visual communication. What you wear affects how others perceive you – and how you perceive yourself. Your image should align with your professional, personal and lifestyle goals.
From first impressions to daily interactions, your wardrobe speaks volumes. Together, we’ll ensure it’s telling the right story, authentically and powerfully.
A local touch with national impact
As a personal stylist in Christchurch, I work with women locally, but also provide virtual services to clients across New Zealand. No matter your location, you can experience the clarity and transformation that a wardrobe audit provides.
I’ve worked with clients in rural towns, major cities, and online – and the results are always deeply personal and practical. Your location shouldn’t be a barrier to feeling great in what you wear.
Style support beyond the audit
Acting as your ongoing wardrobe stylist, I can help with seasonal refreshes, event styling, and future edits. Once we’ve built the foundation through the audit, we can expand into future sessions that evolve with your needs.
Style is not a one-time fix – it’s a journey. Whether you're planning for a big event or just need guidance at the start of each season, I’m here to support you.
Elevating workplace presence with confidence
As a corporate stylist, I help professionals elevate their workplace presence without sacrificing comfort or authenticity. Your wardrobe should work with your role, industry, and ambitions – not against them.
Whether you're a team leader, business owner, or navigating a corporate return, we’ll build a look that expresses professionalism and confidence. Your style should reflect your ambition, while remaining true to who you are.
Online options for busy lives
Not everyone has time for in-person shopping. That’s why I offer support as a personal shopper online, where I recommend specific items from trusted retailers that match your style, budget, and wardrobe plan.
With your wardrobe audit as the foundation, I can take the guesswork out of your shopping – no more wasted time or impulse buys. You get exactly what you need, right when you need it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a wardrobe audit service?
A wardrobe audit service typically includes a full review of your clothing, shoes and accessories to determine what fits, flatters and functions for your current lifestyle. At Bright Red, the session also includes outfit creation, seasonal planning, and a shopping list to fill any intentional gaps.
How does personal styling work during a wardrobe audit?
Personal styling during a wardrobe audit involves evaluating what you already own and showing you how to style it in ways that reflect your personality, lifestyle and goals. It’s not about following trends, but about discovering what works for you and building confidence in your look.
Do I need to do a colour analysis before a wardrobe audit?
While it's not required, having a colour consultation beforehand enhances the wardrobe audit experience. If you've completed a colour analysis consultation, we can use those results to guide outfit choices and streamline your wardrobe based on your best tones.
Can a wardrobe audit help with professional or corporate dressing?
Yes, a wardrobe audit is ideal for professionals looking to elevate their appearance. If you're re-entering the workforce or transitioning roles, the audit can include elements of corporate styling to ensure your wardrobe aligns with your industry and ambitions.
How often should I get a wardrobe audit?
Most clients benefit from a wardrobe audit once per year or seasonally, especially if their lifestyle or body has changed. It helps you stay on top of your wardrobe, plan future purchases and adapt your personal style as life evolves.
What if I don't like shopping? Can the service still help?
Absolutely. If you dislike shopping or don’t have time, the audit will help you make the most of what you already own. And if you need to purchase anything, you can work with Stephanie as your personal shopper or even opt for her personal shopper online service.
Is this service suitable for men or just women?
While the majority of wardrobe audits are booked by women, the service is suitable for anyone wanting help refining their style. Stephanie has also worked with men in both casual and professional contexts, and can tailor the experience accordingly.
Can this service be done virtually?
Yes, wardrobe audits can be delivered virtually for clients outside Christchurch or those with limited availability. Remote sessions follow a similar process, with Stephanie guiding you via video call to edit, plan and coordinate your wardrobe from home.
Will I need to buy lots of new clothes afterwards?
Not at all. The goal is to help you wear more of what you already own and shop only with purpose. In fact, many clients discover they need fewer pieces than they think once their wardrobe is properly coordinated.
How is a wardrobe audit different from other fashion consulting services?
Unlike general fashion advice, a wardrobe audit is hands-on and highly tailored to your personal lifestyle, body shape and clothing preferences. It’s the most practical and effective way to build a wardrobe that truly works for you.
