Based in Christchurch
Experience a personalised wardrobe audit service so all of your clothes work together and you can dress with confidence.

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 feel like you have a wardrobe of clothes and nothing to wear or your wardrobe has been neglected this service is for you. I’m Stephanie Rumble, a personal stylist and colour consultant based in Christchurch, and we created this wardrobe audit service to help you feel more confident every time you get dressed. Over the course of a 3-hour session (or shorter if you have a small wardrobe), together we will assess what works, and what doesn’t.
A wardrobe audit allows us to complete a wardrobe coordination where we work with your current clothes and put new and exciting combinations together for 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 builds on a colour and body shape consultation and allows you to thoughtfully plan your wardrobe.

What to Expect From Your Session
A simple process, tailored to you:
In this 3-hour (or less of your wardrobe is small) 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 over 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.
We are not there to judge what you have, how your wardrobe looks, what choices you have previously made or comment about how you live. We understand that welcoming us into your home and wardrobe can feel like a lot - we bring empathy, insight, and a strong sense of practicality to either reassure you that what you have and are doing is working for you or to help you cleanse and refine your choices.
With over two decades in fashion, wellness, and image consultancy, Bright Red Styling is about helping people look and feel their best at every stage of life. We believe clothing should fit your body, your values, and your goals. As personal stylists in Christchurch, we have 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 expertise in colour consulting and body shape analysis to curate a wardrobe that works for you and if needed set you up to shop with purpose.
Refresh. Refine. Reimagine.
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 and often clients say very cleansing. They speak about feeling lighter and more free not just from clothes that don’t work but also of pieces that were holding them in the past.
This is also the perfect bridge to other styling services. If you’ve already completed a personal colour consulting session or are planning to, your wardrobe audit helps you bring those insights to life. Together we create a plan that ties everything together. A wardrobe audit helps your colour consultation make sense.
How a wardrobe audit service can transform your daily routine
The wardrobe audit service is more than just tidying up (although that sometimes happens too lol). 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.
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. A personal stylist helps you make objective, logical decisions that end up in informed, confident style choices.
With years of experience working with people 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 outfits that go together
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 a wardrobe that all works together. Colours in the same undertone work well together and make selecting things from your wardrobe so much easier.
We’ll revisit the results from your personal colour consultant session (or do a new one if needed) and apply them directly to your existing wardrobe. This ensures that future purchases build upon a strong base, reducing clutter and improving outfit success.
What personal styling really means
Personal styling is about more than clothes – it’s about creating alignment between how you feel and how you show up in the world. Your style should support your goals and reflect your personality without forcing you into someone else’s mold.
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. It is also a great way for us to see who you are and what you have so once we know what’s missing, we 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 and works for your wardrobe.
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 appearance tells the world how you feel about yourself. 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 clients 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 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. We have many regular clients who we work with to curate their wardrobe twice a year to ensure they are staying current and enjoying their clothes.
Style is not a one-time fix – it’s a journey like improving your fitness needing regular attention so you keep looking and feeling great. Whether you're planning for a big event or just need guidance at the start of each season, we are 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 career aspirations.
Whether you're a team leader, business owner, or navigating a corporate role, together we will build a look that expresses professionalism and confidence. Your style should reflect your career aspirations, 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. We work together to curate a wardrobe that works for your life.
How to pack for a holiday
Deciding what to take on a holiday can be challenging. In addition to a wardrobe audit we can help you decide what to pack for a short or long holiday so you wear all the pieces you take with you. This is the perfect antidote to overpacking and allowing you the freedom to travel with lightness and ease.
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. The session also includes outfit creation, seasonal planning, and a shopping list to fill any intentional gaps. This is usually done in your home but sometimes clients who travel to see us bring their clothes so we can complete this in Christchurch before a shopping trip.
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 new and innovative ways that reflect you. We are very good at this and every time we audit a wardrobe the client comments that they had not thought of these combinations. It empowers you to try new things and get more out of your wardrobe.
Do I need to do a colour analysis before a wardrobe audit?
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 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?
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.
