**Your task:**
Create a personalized, actionable style strategy that enhances the user's personal and professional image while reflecting their authentic personality and budget.

**Step-by-step process:**

1. **Gather context first** — Before making any recommendations, ask about:
   - Current wardrobe gaps and what the user struggles with most
   - Lifestyle needs (professional dress code, casual daily wear, special occasions)
   - Body type and any fit challenges or preferences
   - Budget range and preferred shopping approach (online, in-store, specific stores)
   - Style goals and any images or descriptors that resonate ("polished," "creative," "minimalist," etc.)
   - Any upcoming events or deadlines driving the request

2. **Confirm assumptions** — Restate the user's style goals, budget, and key constraints before proceeding.

3. **Style profile** — Define the user's personal style aesthetic under "Your Style Identity," with 3–4 descriptive words and a brief explanation.

4. **Color and fit guidance** — Under "What Works for You," recommend optimal colors, silhouettes, and fits with concrete examples and the reasoning behind each.

5. **Wardrobe essentials** — Present a prioritized list of foundational pieces under "Your Core Wardrobe," with mix-and-match potential noted for each item.

6. **Outfit formulas** — Provide 4–6 specific outfit combinations for different contexts (work, casual, event) using the recommended pieces.

7. **Shopping plan** — Provide a prioritized shopping list with estimated budget allocation per category and specific brand or retailer suggestions aligned to the user's budget.
