find your unique style: The ULTIMATE Style Roots Breakdown

[@psaag111]

Just want to put it out there, I once read somewhere that when you're sorted into a Hogwarts House, you are sorted based on the traits that you VALUE and would like to work towards, not necessarily the traits that you actually have right now. For me, the same applies here. I am not a particularly calm, serene type of person, I can be chaotic at times but I do love the Water (I like that name better) style root as it speaks to my higher self - who I want to be, what I want to embody and the life that I would like for myself :)

[@b21355]

that's a great take on this

[@tiffanysmith4046]

Thank you for this tidbit! I love it and am going to incorporate it into my personal style analysis!

[@jennal1260]

Exactly! If you're going to spend 7 years with people that already have or are striving towards certain values, you have a good chance of graduating with those values too

[@psaag111]

@jennal1260 love this!

[@katherineandini5962]

this is a great explainer as to why my boyfriend & I (accidentally) dress the same multiple times - we have similar style roots! We’re both quite mushroom-like & on formal occassions we lean towards mountain style root. The only difference is that his 3rd root could very well be stone & mine is totally moon 🤣

[@AboutBritney]

I've been waiting for a style roots video! Honestly the most fun system I've come across

[@SoyJGAko]

I recently made a couple discoveries in my style roots journey! 1) Conflating Essence with Roots - For a long time I thought my roots were 🔥⛰️🍄 but I realize now that they’re actually 🔥⛰️🪨! While I do love 🍄 I realized that to some degree I was conflating it with my Classic Essence, or subconsciously putting myself into the box of the Classic Essence. I still do love it and resonate with it to an extent (minimalism, timelessness, lightness), just not as a core root! 2) Distinguishing Foundational vs Undertone Roots - After a lot of processing I found that my *foundational* roots are definitely 🔥⛰️🪨 but sometimes I also draw from *undertones* of 🌙, 🌎, ☀️, or 🍄 depending on the fit! (My core look is definitely based on foundational roots but sometimes I lean into other aesthetics I love like vintage influences in the 70s, 90s grunge, 90s airport model aesthetic, and Mediterranean influences) Experimenting with style roots this way gave me so much clarity, alignment and authentic expansion with my style! Thanks Ellie-Jean :)

[@ZwarteKonijn]

Personally I think it's okay to not have named a style root Water since water can have such a different vibe depending on what state it's in, the location and the weather. My first association with water is for example the sea, beachy, surfer, more earthy vibes, or a creek in the mountain, that'll give more of a mountain backpacker style. Or the sea in a storm would give more of a dark, powerful vibe. So I think mushroom fits better for what you're going for.

[@erahmcmullen6665]

Agree with this completely, when I think of Water I think of crashing waves, a waterfall, or a placid lake in the middle of a forest. All with a very different vibe than the classic/Nantucket feel of Mushroom.

[@lettie.garcia]

Your Pinterest board with the combinations really helped me defining my style roots. I know the basis is always Mushroom x Mountain, but then it varies, the 3rd one always varies on the occasion, mostly moon. But it can be Stone for a more casual look, or fire/flower depending on the mood. 😅

[@xchanchanx]

Yes I totally feel this!

[@leahmarlena7384]

I used to be so confused about my most dominant style root until you mentioned the water aspect! I never liked the mushroom and polkadot association, it was too specific for me… but the imagery you used beyond that, the still beaches, the sand… that holds significant meaning for me. So your explanation really helped me see that my first style root is actually water (mushroom)

[@qkunluv]

I've commented before but I love this system so much because it lets me be analytical about my style while also giving me so much freedom. I love my style roots (moon x flower x stone), and I feel like they represent me as a person in every aspect

[@alexandragatto]

AHH uncovering the lore that Mushroom is also the Water style root is SO satisfying! Mushroom is the root I'm most locked in on and I'm a double Pisces, always lived by the water, former professional sailor, mermaid-obsessed child kinda girlie so I FEEEEL this!! I find the Pinterest boards so helpful for understanding how the roots work in tandem so thank you again for all the work you put in to them! I totally relate to trying to sift out which roots are the REAL you, I'm sure about Mushroom and Sun (mostly because as a Kibbe Dramatic and a Bright Winter they just naturally come out in my harmonious lines and palette) but for the third the question is always "do I have Stone or do I just always dress casually and comfortably because of my neurodivergence (sensory issues against tight/uncomfy clothes, constantly being in a rush making me put in less effort, etc)?" "Do I have Mountain or do I just think it aligns with Dramatic lines and have a millennial bias towards officewear?" "Do I have Fire or does the media just have me wishing to be perceived in a more stereotypically sensual way that doesn't actually honour my true essence and self?" Right now I'm happy to be working in a Mushroom x Sun x Mountain paradigm while looking to some Stone and Fire influence if I'm in the mood to experiment. I think identifying the roots that I really DON'T vibe with (Flower - frills and pastels, heck no! Earth - earth toned palettes are an immediate ick for me! Moon - I cosplayed with this throughout my youth and 20s but the Sun makes me so much happier!) was also super helpful. Self-discovery is a journey, and especially as someone already certain of my Image ID and colour season I'm happy to keep playing with my Roots for now. It's a great system and you should be very proud Ellie-Jean, excited to see more of your own personal progression too! (P.S. congrats again on your natural hair journey, it's SUCH a great decision on your part! :D)

[@itsrobynedwards]

The use of personality words and interests really help when narrowing down roots. I'm trying to rebuild my wardrobe after having a baby so focusing on those rather than what I already own/ previous ideas about my style etc makes it feel more authentic. I think I'm flower, Earth and moon.

[@myrrhmaidmana]

Water being within mushroom style root makes so much sense to me now, plus thematically considering high moisture is associated with mushrooms/fungi! 🤯 I think I still prefer mushroom as the name but maybe that's my moon root talking :p

[@marta83809]

I also prefer mushroom as the name. I feel like it captures the small, round, minimal style of mushroom very well. While water has something majestic and powerful to me, which I don't associate with mushroom.

[@nonyabizness956]

Your style root system is really so fun and beginner friendly 🙏 I really hope it spreads far and wide and you make way more content about it because it makes dressing myself feel easier and more fun instead of boring or stressful 😅 I don't have much of a knack for fashion and I hate clothes shopping so I've always just grabbed the quickest easiest thing in the store but now I want to dress in a way that actually represents me as a person and makes me feel more confident in my clothes- but I had no idea how to do that lol. Kibbe and essences are cool but they can sort of take away from the fun, style roots have really made it a lot more fun to keep going forward in my evolving style journey 😁🙏

[@vickywrigley5884]

I had a similar experience, not liking to shop because I didn't realize that the styles I was wearing didn't match the styles I liked! Ellie Jean's system is so easy and helped me start enjoying clothes shopping!

[@mizzbee7406]

I am waiting for more of those short videos on the combinations of roots! I think mine are Earth, Moon and Mushroom. I am a soft classic body type with ethereal essence so I want to wear really whimsical things and it took me a long time to realize that my classic influence makes it better for me to pull everything back and simplify, which is why I connect with the mushroom root. And I don't consider flower as one of mine even though I'm very fairycore... I'm more of the inverse of the moon for SURE. 💚✨

[@ourcozycorner8517]

2:15 😂 oh my goodness. Yes! Girl, maybe consider one of those “flameless” candles. 😉

[@klaudiask9980]

After watching your film I chose my 3 style roots and I thought "wow, that's tough" 😅 because I have sun. mushroom and mountain, and I was thinking how to combine elegance, peace and fun in one? But oh wow, I discovered your pinteres board with style root combinations and that was it! Really! I was o suprised and shocked! That's really my style and something I reach to! Oh my! Thank you so much!!!!!! ❤❤❤

[@IllustrateLucy]

It’s earth, mushroom and flower for me ❤ this system works so well. It’s really helped me create my own thing instead of jumping around different aesthetics. I am also drawn to mountain and moon on Pinterest and instagram, but i don’t think they work well for me in reality. - gingham is a current fave. And it’s interesting that we dress fairly different to one another with the same roots as we express them through our own lenses ❤

[@Diniecita]

Same. I think I use ot differently but I loved her video with the 3 different influencers and they all had the same roots. Watch that one of you can. Im more Herbalist gardener myself.

[@charlottehoward722]

I am the same! 🌱🍄🌸 I realised from this video that the witchy looks that I like are actually more earth than moon 🌙

[@Nerdy-By-Nature]

I might make my own "Star" root board 😂 I love Ethereal but I passed on Flower because it's so heavily Ingenue and I look ridiculous in most anything Ingenue. I do love the flowy elements, large lace, florals, angelic. I went with Moon, but it does feel a little too heavy and gritty. I love the metallic aspect of it, the lace and sheer, some leather - but that could be coming from Mountain. I love the celestial aspects.

[@megjs]

Thinking of mushroom as water makes so much sense especially since the elements I like from mushroom were those nautical styles. I find fire and flower to be the style roots I flip between ( mushroom and stone are set for me) as it gets colder I am more in-tune with fire and as it gets warmer I am more flower! I also believe I am a romantic body type so I often channel fire naturally and try to lean more cutesy with flower in certain settings I love this system so much it has helped me immensely with my personal style

[@silverplim]

I love how passionate you are about style 🤍

[@WaterPuppy]

Hi there Ellie! I discovered your channel very recently, and it's sent me down a deep rabbit hole of analysing my Kitchener essence, Kibbe body type, colour season and style roots. I feel like the content you're sharing is not only helpful to me as a person, but also with some character designs I'm working on. Looking forward to seeing more from you!

[@JessBF]

I am so grateful you took so much time making combo boards on Pinterest. I think I figured it out for myself because of them. I always have 🌸 and 🌿 but the third element changes depending on the season. In spring/summer, mushroom/water. In fall/winter, moon. The moon element is a big part of my personality but I don’t love wearing dark colors in warmer sunny seasons, but in the cold seasons I love to bring that side out to play! I wonder if anyone else does something similar? So fun!

[@alexba1ley]

This is one of the clearest style roots overviews you've made. Great visuals and explanations.

[@owlsgoowlsgo]

Mine are Flower, Mushroom, and a tiny bit of Earth. A few months ago I experimented with moving from dark colors like navy and black to lots of white, cream, and pinks and it completely changed the way I look at my style! I feel like I’m getting closer to my outside reflecting my inside :)

[@GlitterPenPerspective]

I was lucky enough to stumble across your content and I'm obsessed. You're truly a creative visionary who deserves the world. I decided that my three styles are "flower" with a touch of "stone" and a dash of "sun," but I was having trouble imagining what that would be like all together. When I found the "Stone x Flower x Sun" category on your "Style Roots Combo" Pinterest board, I fell in love. My style in a nutshell! Amazing job!!

[@volatileflame]

i appreciate your style roots system a lot! my primary roots are moon, stone, and earth, though i can see flower as a possible secondary root for me. one of the funny things (for myself) is that your introduction to style roots (when you first came out with it) really helped to explain why i liked certain BTS (Korean boyband) members' "core" styles (as presented by another KZbinr, Nava Rose), and her video helped me to confirm for myself what my style roots are based on the "core" styles that resonated with me (it was also fun to review her video in light of your style roots, because i could see them in the boys' "core" styles", some more clearly than others, and it was just kinda fun to see). i think you've done such a great job with your system! thank you so much!

[@soulful_poetry]

Flower, moon and earth♡ these match with my personality too! Loved this video, it was perfect ❤ thanks Ellie 🌷

[@yitzhaklider8819]

So far this video is the clearest and best explained on Style roots

[@CourtneyLeigh1992]

Your videos came up in my feed and I have been HOOKED! I am definitely a Sun, Moon, and Mountain in that order. Keep up the amazing content your amazing!

[@fortheyorum]

I’ve come back to rewatch this because I was certain when I first watched it I was sure I was 🌸🔥 but wasn’t sure about the 3rd. Can confirm now it’s 🍄. The Pinterest boards were insanely helpful in this process. This is such an approachable yet comprehensive system. So many people over think style and over theorize it too. But this is IT! No surprise my favorite emoji was already 🌸 thank you!

[@rosereddened]

I'm not sure I really relate to this system, but I do think it's helped me pinpoint what elements in my wardrobe are *not* working for me in a way I didn't grasp so easily before I watched the video, so thanks for that!!

[@xchanchanx]

I really like this concept, and in terms of the 80/20 rule, I’m 80% mountain and mushroom. But I have fire and moon influences that make up the 20%. My style words are classic, relaxed, and chic. Thank you for this!

[@aliciamilne2314]

I had totally thought of star and water too! Thank you that clarifies it ❤

[@dariajabonska3303]

Love your system Ellie! I think what suits me best is mountain, earth & flower but I also like mushroom so still deciding to choose the final 3. Love your Pinterest boards very much! ❤❤❤❤

[@AbiTheGoodLife]

Water speaks much more clearly to me than Mushroom ever did, and it makes the system more balanced in a way

[@careercoachkelly]

Agreed!

[@lucyelstonsoprano]

Fantastic video, thank you Ellie-Jean! My style roots are fire, flower and mushroom. Fire and mushroom tend to dictate the silhouettes I like with flower ruling details and patterns. Fire inspires the colours I choose (I am a jewel winter) and flower guides me on scale to suit me (smaller scale patterns and jewellery). I do think there is a fourth style root that sometimes can be incorporated, I like to include moon sometimes! It's all so interesting! Love your videos, it's very inspiring to see how well you are doing and at such a young age. ❤❤

[@Lalalein]

This video and your pinterest boards with the combinations are very helpful! I can't choose my favourite top three, it's between moon/flower/fire and moon/flower/mountain for me. I would say moon & flower are definitely two solid style roots of mine, but the third can change between fire, mountain, or even stone and mushroom! The only two I don't vibe with are sun (too much, too bright, too many patterns, feels overwhelming for me) and earth (earthy tones as well as the bohemian style is not my thing at all -> however, I can vibe with the cottage core & academia side of it due to liking the flower and mountain style root + the key words for earth do fit my personality). The moon style root at its core is the one I vibe with the most, I am very much deep, emotional, rebellious in spirit and a bit gloomy (not angry, though!) However, I've always wanted to achieve a look that's contradictory; edgy & dark with a pure & innocent cuteness to it. This is why I like to combine moon and flower, the two styles that are inversions of each other, haha. The flower root is probably the one who, together with mushroom/water, fits my personality the most based on the key words you gave - I'm always described as sweet, gentle, charming, calm, quiet, and reliable. The fire root by itself isn't as fitting for me, but I like to add its essence to my moon/flower combo and make my outfits more alluring! I've always wanted to be sexy in a cute/pure way, if that makes sense, lol. As I've grown older, I started enjoying more elegant/academia styles as well, which is where the moutain root comes in! I am also deeply connected to the element water, so mushroom/water fits me as well. Apart from my main moon/flower/fire and moon/flower/mountain style combos, I also like to dress like - mountain/flower/fire - mushroom/mountain/flower - stone/fire/moon - stone/flower/moon - mushroom/flower/moon - mushroom/fire/moon These 8 combos in total encompass the more or less wide variety of styles I like to wear. There is definitely an underlying vibe/theme to it, but my outfits can be rather diverse. I tend to dress according to my mood, the occasion, and the weather. 😌 edit: I do think (not 100% sure) that my colour season is cool winter! That would also explain my aversion to earthy tones, especially browns and oranges.😂 I have to watch your other videos to find out about my essence according to my facial features! I may come back for a second edit once I found that out. 🤭🥰

[@libera7161]

Thank you. I know what 3 styles I like best. Mountain, Mushroom and Flower! ❤

[@Mysterious_Moon]

Moon/Star 🌙 ✨ Stone 🪨 Fire 🔥. This was the most perfect explanation and now I’m so sure of my roots. The Moon/Star makes so much sense, balancing the edgy/intimidating/protective style with revealing/bright/shiny energy. Beautiful 🤩

[@mollycluff943]

Your hair is looking so good!!

[@traingirl.meghan]

Love this concept! I know I'm fire and sun, but the third one seems to change with the season and my mood. I think it flips between stone and mountain.

[@jspisces83]

Love watching your progress! Your channel is lovely and quite informative.

[@sophiesetterjerrome215]

I love your theory and I've found it so helpful (and fun) when I'm looking at clothing. I think it means I buy a lot more purposefully and have fewer times where I buy something I never wear.

[@MariahTahmisian]

Fire and mountain are definitely my top 2. Moon or Flower is my third depending on mood I feel with some Mushroom mixed in. Essentially none of the rest.

[@blush106]

I've been keeping up with your Style Roots pinterest boards to help me settle on my roots! I'm looking forward to you posting more flower x mushroom boards. I'm pretty certain I am flower x mushroom but I am still trying to settle on my third root.

[@neon.neutral]

[@blush106]

@@neon.neutral Oh, thanks! I thought the order mattered.

[@justme-qd6qb]

I just want to say i love this method and thank you so much for all the Pinterest boards! Its a lot of fun and very helpful. I have basically figured out that my main roots are sun and flower, and I like most combinations with those two plus another root. It depends on season too. I like earth and mushroom but I think a lot of the time my third root is closer to stone because its just more practical and comfortable, even though it isn't my 'ideal'. especially in winter i think it's harder to dress in skirts and blouses and dresses (that I associate more with flower and the parts of earth I like)

[@PurvaVasala]

Found your channel recently but I'm falling love with it 💖

[@staciefinds]

It's totally not too late to shift Mushroom to Water! What I love about your style roots is that they are organic and evolving, so it makes a lot of sense for you to bring additional clarity to your system. Professors get to change the syllabus. ;) Plus, I love the imagery of the fluidity of water, how it shifts and changes but still connects and nourishes everything. Thanks for creating the roots! It has really helped me to bring together other style systems in a way that makes sense for me - seasonal colors, body IDs, essences, etc.

[@user-zy1co9hy9m]

It likely is too late as she has all her marketing material as mushroom

[@sissidg1682]

The Pinterest boards really helped me, as a visual person. I am mountain-flower-earth (classic preppy girly). Also, though: I feel like water helps me understand the concept of that root SO much better than mushroom does...so I'm a vote for renaming it, even though it's not at all my root.

[@tearoses321]

Thank you, Ellie-Jean! Another fabulous video!

[@juless9277]

I really love this system! Even more than the aesthetic or garments, I find the feeling words associated with each style root to be most helpful for me when identifying my own style. My style roots are 🍄🪴 & 🏔️or🪨 depending… I’d like to channel more Mountain but my life contexts make practicality in clothing soo necessary that it’s hard to fully lean into the polished professional looks unless I’m dressing up.

[@EmL-kg5gn]

I’m still torn between them. Every time I think I’ve narrowed it down I think oh what about this one! Or that one! I appreciate you mentioning how you associate water with the mushroom style root. That explains why I’m drawn to it 🌧️🌊

I have a bit of a problem finding my third or tertiary style root... I am absolutely sure about flower and earth, those are the main ones. But for the third one, I alternate between moon, fire, and sun. Your Pinterest boards have been super helpful, I think that maybe sun is the one, but I love the looks of th other two and my wardrobe has some pieces that fit them and that I love... 😅 Thanks as always for your work! ❤

[@itsrosebennett]

I would love to see you take a trending aesthetic (mermaid core, angel, core mob wife, etc) and see how the interpretation of each of the style roots could potentially make that aesthetic work for them.

[@xplodingpenguins1047]

Your channel is so helpful Ellie! I do have a fashion question. I love sundresses, however, I can never find one that looks good in me and fits my style. I’m a soft dramatic body type and my style root are mushroom, fire, and sun. What sundress would you recommend?

Once you mentioned "water" as kind if an alternate name for "mushroom" it made so much sense to me lol, now I kinda get it haha I think is not too late to change it !

[@theroyalshaman]

I think the traits of Flower don’t really vibe with Ethereal tho. Where Flower is Sweet, Ethereal is Aloof. Ethereal isn’t really quaint or charming. Flower has this youthful, vibrancy where Ethereal is old/ancient and otherworldly. A Star root totally makes sense!

[@Keapix]

I agree. They seem very different to me. I don’t identify with Flower at all, but I could with Star.

[@theroyalshaman]

​@Keapix when I think about verified Ethereal celebs that dont have Ingenue, i also cant picture Flower working. Like can I really see Tilda Swinton in sweet, dainty dress?

[@torytate7260]

I have a very dominant Mushroom style root, and I like that word better than Water to describe it, although it could be different for someone else. I think we can all interpret the same style root slightly different. For instance, Glamorous is one of my style words, but it comes out in more of a Mountain way for me than Fire

[@T_Cup]

Love this! I'm definitely FlowerxStone and I think Mushroom is my 3rd, but I'm unsure, ig time will tell

[@alexl3041]

I don't really like any of these on their own, but going through the Pinterest boards of the mixed style roots I find I love a few combinations that include moon and flower. Specifically fire or earth but also stone.

[@silverhiver]

Omg you should totally change it to water. I have always been confused between mountain and mushroom, the words and the aesthetic are way too close together and it took me digging through your Pinterest and you calling mushroom "old money" to understand the difference. Mushroom fits the aesthetic but within the system water and it's coastal grandmother/old money "what I'm wearing to the amalfi coast" vibes really just fits better.

[@neon.neutral]

Mountain is formal and commanding in my head and mushroom is minimal. Weirdly I like mushroom better than water because there's something too "changing" about water that doesn't speak to that stillness to me. 🤷

Through my fashion style, I realized that my main style roots are Flower, Mushroom, and Mountain. These days, I think that Mushroom and Mountain are interchangeable in terms of importance, but Flower is my main style root. With my fourth style root, it's either Fire or Stone.

[@MissAfricanAmerican99]

If I had to distill my style root down to a current combo, it would definitely be *flower, mushroom and earth.* I find that the gothic aesthetic, although I heavily appreciate it, doesn't honor my body type or my visual priorities. I need simple, pretty looks which incorporate natural fabrics and honor my body type - with a dash of etherealness.

Or analyzing celebrities and characters fashion style through your system? That would be great!

I can't narrow it dow to only three style roots, ive been on this journey for almost two years and ive started to truly discover myself, not who I was used to pretending to be, but I still can't get to three only. I have four - flower, fire, earth and moon. From the combination boards i understood that the lack of flower is not acceptable to me, so I looked at the rest but still couldn't figure it out. Felt like sharing my story.

[@Silica-black]

i think i nailed down my top 2 (stone and mushroom) but cant nail down the 3rd. i look at the 3rd root to be reflected in accessories or small details in an outfit. i bounce between flower and earth a lot since childhood. i also identify with earth on a personal values/priorities level, but hardly ever reflect it in my clothes lol trying to straighten that out.

I am pretty sure my two main style roots are Mushroom (and I still like that name xx) and Flower, but I live in a landlock where it can get quite cold and I’m a dark season so I tend to wear darker colours so I always end up with loads of Mountain looking pieces 😂

[@mariacorretge6615]

This was really helpful. I have myself down as mushroom, mountain and sun. The words for me are relaxed and classic style with an element of drama. I like a nice serious suit with a vintage detail like a brooch or necklace, or an oversized silk scarf. I also prefer stripes and geometric patterns to whimsical ones, I look stupid when trying something too girly or sweet, and I look desperate in "too sexy" outfits, or when I'm in an all black outfit. It's funny how some people can pull something off so effortlessly and some don't. I have friends that look like goddesses in leggings and a hoodie, I look like I'm homeless. But then I look great in a suit, and other friends look like they're playing dress up if they turn up in one!

I find I’m usually flower/mushroom and then swap out the third constantly to keep things fun and keep me from getting bored.

[@jaimeethomas7018]

I'm distinctly settled on moon and mountain as two of my roots, but sincerely stuck between flower and stone as my 3rd/accent root. It seems to switch up depending on the day or the outfit, and I don't see either element changing particularly soon. All of my outfits I can think of exist with only one of those two roots. Does anyone else feel the same way or have any advice? I feel like I already have a fairly distinct "brand" of style, but does that remain true with gravitating towards four style roots?

I also feel like I have two dominant roots( Mushroom and Mountain) with two modifiers(Stone and Earth) that I switch between, rather than having 3 dominant ones.

Would you ever consider doing a video on what you think different characters/celebrities style roots are e.g monica bellucci in malena or evie in the mummy etc

[@sophiabaxendale]

It might help for people who struggle to see their own style roots but know they like the look of certain characters

[@vibrantpeacexx]

We have the same style roots right now! Mine are also mushroom-earth-flower

[@alessia9328]

OKAY, after MUCH deliberation, and also thanks to this new video, I've found that I have two main ones: ☀️ and 🪨! Those are my main one that feel 100% like me. As for the third one, I think it depends on my mood and where I'm going. It can be 🔥, 🍄, 🌙 or even 🌸.

Applause and thanks for the Pinterest boards 👏👏👏

I've been thinking lately what would be your thoughts on the roots changing depending on the season. For me, I think my roots are very 🌛🔥🗻, but in spring/summer I feel a lot more 🌻 than 🗻. This makes sense to me, because the formality of mountain I relate to the school year while summer is fun and flowery itself. But then I think that roots are supposed to end with these seasonal changes of style - and yet, wouldn't want to be that flowery in winter, nor that formal in summer. Does that make sense?

[@Irene.Shalom]

I feel like I'm flower fire and earth in the warm seasons...and flower fire and mushroom in the cold seasons. Is it possible? ❤

[@s4lly79]

I’m fire and flower but I’m not sure what my third one is, my top three things in order : timeless, sensual, carefree

[@paulynavarrete8019]

To me my core roots are always Flower 🌺 and 🍄 (water if you prefer haha) and then I lean into a 3rd,undertone root like 🌙 or 🌎, sometimes even 🔥 or ☀️. It's usually moon or earth tho

[@Sweetinfernalcreature]

I always thought of earth as hippie (sunny, bright clothes) which I’m drawn to but I’m much more moon as a goth (personal style and subculture “member”). I really felt intrigued that despite dressing in almost only black (my other colors are deep red, deep green and deep purple) , earthy bohemian styles still show up in how I wear my personal gothic look. Flowy long skirts, ponchos and flowy tops or lace kaftans, layered looks that flow together and lots of stacked jewelry that reflect my style or a vintage vibe, like Victorian. So I’m pretty sure my roots are moon first then earth then fire????

[@acarcarazza]

To anyone who's still undecided: I strongly suggest looking at the pinterest boards. My style roots are mushroom, flower and moon. I was initially undecided between flower and earth, because I really like cottagecore and '70s styles, but once I went to look at the examples of mushroom x earth x moon, I realised they didn't really reflect my taste, while I loved the mushroom x flower x moon outfits. However, question for Ellie: what if we do like some very specific aspects of a fourth style root (such as cottagecore and '70s syles), should we still occasionaly incorporate those into our style or do you suggest focusing on our three main style roots?

[@neaofthenorth]

I have had so many different styles growing up. I have been a girly girl, then black metal/goth styles, emo, J-rock, J-rock/hippie blend, tomboy, kpop/Street style, and so on... So mostly moon/sun/stone mix I would say. Now I'm 31 and my style roots are mostly flower and earth, but the third is tricky. I think I lean fire. But I do wear a bit of stone as well, but that's because it's practical, not necessarily because I like the style... I wear most styles I would say, but it's difficult to blend them properly without them looking unrelated.

[@jaimerichard729]

I’m fire, mountain and caught between mushroom, earth and moon. But I feel like my personality gets split between work and personal life. So mountain with fire influences is strong for me and I feel confident in that but then I’m very sporty and love Parisian style and more hippie style clothing too. I think figuring out how to blend all of it is where I’m getting stuck
