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.)
