October 2025 - Capsule Wardrobe: Special Occasions

Capsule Wardrobe: Special Occasions

We are heading into those couple of months where we seemingly need a new outfit every weekend. From Halloween parties, to work holiday events, to family gatherings. It’s a busy time in which an everyday capsule wardrobe just doesn’t seem rise to the occasion. At least for me.

I used to include one or two sparkly pieces that could be worn to special events in my winter capsule wardrobe, but over time it just didn’t feel right. The pieces would be hanging in my closet and every time I’d see them, I’d wonder whether I was being social enough, and then when I did have an event to wear one of these special pieces to, I’d feel tired of it somehow. So I changed up my strategy, instead of trying to make my capsule wardrobe work for everything, I split it into a “core wardrobe” plus multiple “mini capsule wardrobes.”

In this post I’ll be walking you through my “mini capsule wardrobe” for special occasions as well as how I deal with “themed” special occasions (you know, the ones where you have to show up wearing something you’re not likely to wear or use again).

Refine Behind the Scenes

I've been simplifying the process of blogging. As I move away from platform I currently host my products on (Kajabi), I also need to find a new home for my blog and newsletter. This month I will be moving all the blog posts to Substack and once that's all set up and the links are working, I'll be moving this email list over too. 

Simplifying this part of my life has been a surprising amount of work, but the end is in sight and the peace of mind and time created by simplification will be worth the effort. I hope that wherever you are in your own journey, you can find the space to simplify and move forward with clarity and lightness.  

As always, you can reply directly to this email with any questions or comments (and also just to say hi).

Have a wonderful month,

x Coco

September 2025 - The September Reset
This Month on the Blog - The September Reset If you know me, you’ll know that I’m a huge fan of the “September Reset.” September has always felt like a fresh start for me. Especially in the northern hemisphere, when summer turns into fall, and it’s time to head back to work/school with a newly charged battery.  The September Reset is a moment in which you pause to get organized before starting...
August 2025 - Simplification Foundations: Decluttering Strategies
This Month on the Blog - Simplification Foundations: Decluttering Strategies I’ve always loved decluttering and have practiced some form of a minimalist lifestyle since 2010. Beyond the practice itself, I’m fascinated by the philosophy behind minimalism and enjoy exploring its ideas. Over the years, I’ve read countless books, blogs, and articles, and watched plenty of videos on the subject. Th...
July 2025 - The Forever Capsule Wardrobe: Designing custom pieces
This Month on the Blog - The Forever Capsule Wardrobe: Designing custom pieces Earlier this year, I went on a trip to Vietnam and was able to do something I’ve wanted for a long time: create the perfect pieces for my wardrobe, from scratch. I’m very tall, and finding clothes that fit me properly, let alone match my personal style, has always been difficult. Most off-the-rack options are either...
