This is the guide I have been waiting for! I have the Essentials and Athleisure Guide that really helped me build a wardrobe that supports my everyday life. When it came out, I also ordered the Business Guide (even though I am a stay-at-home mom) to get ideas for more dressy outfits, but the outfits in there were a bit too professional for my lifestyle and activities. THIS Special Occasion Style Guide is really what I needed. The guide is extremely thorough, providing great in-depth explanations of how to use it, while still being visually clean in its design. It strikes the perfect balance between comprehensiveness and ease of use. It contains a lot of information that will take me a while to really comprehend, but is so quick to get started using it that I was able to implement it to grab my outfit for a church event tonight without the multiple outfit changes and piles of clothes that are typically all over my closet floor the day of an event. I love that accessories like jewelry and even nail polish are included in the outfit ideas because I usually spend so much time picking my outfit that I forget those finishing touches that really make an outfit pop. Looking stylish while also staying warm in the winter has always been a challenge for me in the past but this guide provides so many great ideas. I know I will be using it to plan outfits for all of the special occasions coming up this holiday season and well into the future!
I already own the Essentials and Business Style Guides, so I was definitely looking forward to another guide that would help me streamline my event wardrobe and make getting dressed for something special more effortless. And it has definitely exceeded my expectations. In the two weeks I've had the Special Occasion Style Guide, I've already used it twice to pull together outfits: one for hosting Thanksgiving, and one for a special worship event. Both times, I could easily pull from pieces I had already purchased for my Essentials and Business capsules. Thanks to the Special Occasion guide, I've identified a few gaps in my wardrobe, decided what items I'd bought for random events are going to stay or go, and feel more confident about pulling together more elevated looks for family functions, parties, gatherings, and even date nights. (Because I am well past the "jeans and a going out top" stage of my life!)
I highly recommend this Guide for anyone who wants to look more polished at special events. I love that it builds on previous capsules, includes a hairstyle inspiration section for both long and short hair, and has an index so you can see what outfits would work for what events (showers, ceremonies, office, etc.)
Absolute best for all the ladies! Best guide to your daily wear
I have all of the ebooks and honestly this is the one with the most style in it
Lovely outfits. I love the addition of hairstyles. It works great in my kindle fire.

My colors were done by Corina and I agree entirely with her assessment. The observations about high contrast hair color and soft eyes are spot on. And I agree that I am a Summer.
I was disappointed in the PDF I received as I found the # of colors presented in my palette to be just a few and the graphics (not including the cool color chart) to be more geared to kids than an adult.
Overall a good experience, though.
Hi Susan! Thanks for your review. I can see how the graphics on the page header feel geared towards kids. Thanks for the feedback!
I highly recommend the Special Occasion Style Collection book. I am a 43 year old married, mother of two kids (8 and 16) and I work as a paid caregiver. I didn’t grow up with a natural flair for fashion and so I’ve really appreciated getting guidance from the Frump Fighters handbooks! With this special occasion handbook, I am feeling grateful with some of the pieces that I already own and inspired to slowly curate outfits for special occasions throughout the year. One of my goals is to go on more dates with my husband and this guide has guidance on creating a color scheme profile that will help me feel more confident in my future date outfits. I also appreciate that the shopping links include various sizes (including plus size and wide width shoes) and styles to suit preferences and reason. Once again, Frump Fighters has helped me feel more prepared and confident in my personal style choices!
The team at Frump Fighters have done it again with another awesome tool to help women dress great and feel great! The collection is easy to understand with clear instructions, great tools, and helpful links. I love that it also uses items I have in my closet already from my essentials collection. This collection is very versatile for many sizes types (maternity and plus) and any season. Heading into the holidays the special occasion collection is totally going to save the day and help me feel put together and ready for any gathering!
First I want to say that it was a pleasure to work with Corine, she went out of her way to help me when the internet seemed to be at odds with my getting my results. Second, I was surprised at my results, but Corine gave me suggestions on how to use clothes and accessories that were not my colors so I do not have to discard those items.
Thank you for your review and kind words! It was a joy to help you nail down your best colors.
I’m really enjoying the interactive platform, I now don’t have to spend a long time getting ready in the morning because I know exactly what I’m going to wear! It also helps me really make good purchases for new clothes as well!
This is such a cool tool! I love finding new ways to use ChatGPT and this is an amazing way to use it for curating a wardrobe. I recently started a new job and want to change up my style so this is a great starting point.
Thank you for sharing your experience! So glad you're finding it helpful. Have fun using it each season!
They took down my review so I'm just putting it back. 1 star.
I'm glad we could assist you with a refund since the Men's Style Guide wasn’t the right fit for you. When we created it, we worked with our existing customers to decide between offering full outfit formulas or a more flow-chart style format, and the latter seemed to be what most men found useful. That said, we completely understand that some would prefer the outfit-by-outfit approach like our other style guides, and we’ll keep this in mind for a future update. Thanks for sharing your feedback!
This one was short and to the point, and I actually think that I like these style guides better than the calendars. Just... straight fits.
I was somewhat surprised at my color analysis results, but after reviewing the results I realized how very accurate it was. I’m excited to create a SOFT AUTUMN wardrobe. You won’t be disappointed with your color analysis!
My closet is a mess and I need help! I wanted a simple way to look cute this summer, but still fit MY vibe. So many of the outfits I found on Pinterest were cute, but not at all suitable for a mom of 8 with my lifestyle. This style generator was SO HELPFUL! I feel comfortable going to the list of online stores it suggested, with the list I got from generator, and ordering some great pieces...and knowing what to do with them. This is going to reduce my mental load and boost my confidence...great tool!
I am super excited about the wardrobe generator! I am over 40 now and really struggle to find the balance between cute and "wow, she really shouldn't be wearing that!" This tool was so interactive and allowed me to walk away with a plan I feel confident I can implement. I also really appreciate the store recommendations as I am was so tired of internet searching ideas. This is going to be such a time saver!
I wore outfits from the calendar 3 days and was complimented by more than on person each day. I felt more fun and started to look forward to getting dressed. I like that the pieces are affordable and they don't suggest an essential for the capsule that costs $300. The interactive platform makes it easy to picture what the clothes will look like! A great product!
My teen sons’ fashion choices have always been… interesting. Before the oldest leaves for college, I’m using the men’s guide to help them get a more cohesive wardrobe that’s not just graphic tees, athletic shorts and crocs.
This collection is such a smart and thoughtful resource. I love how it builds on the Basic Style Collection — not by repeating, but by elevating. The outfit formulas and style prompts help you create a more polished, professional look without needing to buy an entirely new wardrobe.
As someone with limited energy and motivation in the mornings, I truly appreciate how this collection makes getting dressed feel simple, achievable, and stylish.
The care and intention behind this work is so clear. I'm really grateful for the support and inspiration it provides — highly recommend!
I have wanted to have my colors done for years! I’ve always had this view of my style and felt that I needed to be more “beige” to fit into my minimal wardrobe. I knew green was my favorite color and the one I was often complimented on, but was I an autumn green or jewel tone green? I turn 40 this year and decided it was time for some clarity! I’m SO glad that I took the time to do this color analysis, I’m a deep winter and now I can safely give away a few of my autumn colors and orange tees that I didn’t love. Thank you!
I got my analysis through a very well put together pdf, and within 1 week! I'm so happy with finally getting a proper colour analysis, it was very much worth every penny! I'm so thankful and happy! Thanks Corina!
I love the Women's Starter Style Kit! I already have most of the items described. It's fun and easy to put together the outfits. I also tried the FREE Month outfit calendar. I've been adding new looks to my usual style.
Helpful and detailed info - I've already purged a huge amount from my wardrobe (not gone completely, just set aside to see if I really actually miss any of it), but the picture portion of the items is really disorganized. I presume that they are in some order, but I can't figure it out. While it is broken out into tops, bottoms, dresses, etc., within those sections the items are not grouped together at all. For example, button down shirts, graphic tees, sweaters, etc. are all over the place, not together. It would be so much better if they were.
Over all, though, it's really good so far. I'll know more when I've actually used the calendar.
Thanks for the feedback, Christine. I can see how the organization isn't clear. It's organized by essential (starred) items first, and then everything else. Within those two groups, it's in alphabetical order.
I have so many of the clothes already. It is just seeing how to put it together. Really I think this is saving me money,plus giving my clothes new life
I loved it. So helpful for what kind of fashion I need to look for. Plus something’s I need not be afraid to try. I think that is the hardest for women. Step out because an expert says you will look good in these styles.
