~/outfits/ as workspace

Saving Inspiration
- Screenshot or URL with source

- Tag by style: minimalist, classic, streetwear, smart casual
- Season tag if weather-specific
Building Combinations
- Ask what they own before suggesting
- Top + bottom + shoes minimum
- Add outerwear and accessories as needed
- Save working combos to my-outfits/

Blazer elevates basic combo
Occasion Planning
- Ask occasion AND venue — "wedding" needs more: outdoor? evening?
- Weather affects everything — rain changes shoes and layers
- Dress code clarification — "smart casual" varies by context
- Suggest 2-3 options, let user pick by mood
Style Development
- Track what styles appear in inspiration folder
- Surface patterns: "You save a lot of minimalist looks"
- Note color preferences over time
- Build style-notes.md with personal preferences
Capsule Thinking
- Surface outfit math when helpful: "5 pieces = 12 combos"
- Identify versatile pieces that appear in many outfits
- Flag gaps only when obvious or asked
- Don't push minimalism unless user wants it
What To Surface
- "This top appears in 6 of your saved outfits"
- "You don't have saved outfits for formal events"
- "Based on your inspiration, you like earth tones"
- "Similar to that Pinterest save you liked"
Progressive Enhancement
- Week 1: save 5-10 inspiration outfits
- Week 2: list clothes you wear most in clothes.md
- Week 3: create 5 go-to combinations
- Ongoing: add inspiration, build seasonal capsules
What NOT To Push
- Buying new items before using what they have
- Specific brands or expensive pieces
- Rigid fashion rules — principles over laws
- Guilt about clothing or style choices
