I had to make this quick review of this what-to-wear outfit calendar. Basically, itβs like a meal plan but for your closet!
Iβve been using this for about a week and Iβve found so many brand new outfits in my closet that I would have never thought to put together before. It doesnβt have to be a perfect match, eitherβlike in this case, it shows a red striped shirt and I have a blue striped shirt.
Honestly, it feels like shopping without spending money! I love it. I definitely recommend getting one of these outfit planners by Frump Fighters.
"I am an active retiree and I believe in creativity over consumption.
The problem I wanted to solve is: I have a brand new, beautiful closet, and I wanted to be able to wear everything that I own. As you can see, I took one of the tips which was to separate solids from prints, and I have my solids over here.
I have my Frump Fighters calendar and it's really helped me to wear everything that I own. That was the problem that I wanted to solve. Instead of going out and buying new clothes, I wanted to shop my closet. So thank you, Frump Fighters!"
"Iβve been using the Frump Fighters instructions on how to rev up my wardrobe a little bit and look a little smarter.
I bought a capsule wardrobe and I just went to an ugly sweater party. I was wearing a pretty Fair Isle Christmas sweater, so I didn't win... but anyway, I was complimented on how nice I looked tonight!
I think it's working. I'm going to a couple more Christmas parties on Thursday and Friday and I've got my outfits all picked out and ready to go. Iβm enjoying this so much! Itβs really lifted my spirits and made me feel a lot better about how I look and how I present myself. Thank you very much!"
Iβm so pleased with this calendar! I felt like I came to a dead end in my fashion sense, resorting to the same pants and T-shirts when I have so much more I could wear. I browsed through the intro of the calendar, and already found it so helpful and yet have so much more to read through still. Went shopping recently, and the experience was so much more pleasant and easier to decide what pieces to go home with in the dressing room. So thankful to have found this!
Iβve been using the Frump Fighters essentials and business collections in the interactive platform for years and have always loved how easy they make getting dressed. Adding the Special Occasion Collection has been a great bonus. I was able to pull from my own closet today and come up with new outfit combinations for two holiday partiesβno shopping required, which was exactly what I wanted.
Iβm planning to work through the steps in the ebook to do a full closet review and keep a running shopping list so Iβm better prepared for future events. I really appreciate the focus on creating a small, intentional occasion-wear capsule. I donβt want to buy a new outfit for every wedding or party, and this approach feels both practical and refreshing.
The ebook is also surprisingly informative. I like that it shows where each item overlaps with other collections, and the notes on fabrics and fit will be helpful the next time I do shop. Overall, the Special Occasion Collection fits nicely into the system I already use and gives me more confidence that I can make the most of what I own.
This is an excellent addition to the Frump Fighters guides. The eBook contains step by step instructions to help you get the most out of the guide. I printed the list of closet capsule items, went through my own clothes to match them, and that narrowed down the essential items I could choose to shop for to complete my looks. So clear and so helpful. I can't wait to dress up during the holidays this year using this guide!
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.)

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 didnβt grow up with a natural flair for fashion and so Iβve 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.
Iβm really enjoying the interactive platform, I now donβt have to spend a long time getting ready in the morning because I know exactly what Iβm 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!
I'm glad we could assist you with a refund since the Men's Style Guide wasnβt 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 weβll 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. Iβm excited to create a SOFT AUTUMN wardrobe. You wonβt 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!
