Fashion: Capsule Wardrobe Manifesto (ish)

I thought since so many of my 2013 goals started out here, I would post this here as well.  I'm beginning the process of paring down my wardrobe, working to create something that looks like a set of interconnected capsule wardrobes.  Clothing wise, I want something more uniform, something more suited to what I like ascetically and the life I live. Realistically I need to contend with four seasons, work and life outside of work, as well as my love of the occasional romp through the woods.  For now I'm working mainly on defining what it is that I like in terms of colors, garment types, and clothing construction.  I'm also hoping to get a vague sense of what styles suit what aspects of my life, and what sort of "uniforms" I could lean toward developing for these various aspects. First up there's the issue of color.  My taste for color varies throughout the year but there are a few staple elements.  Black is a favorite of mine, as are grey based or muddy tones
