Could you do an episode where you critique photos of people and even celebrities, breaking down their three style roots. I think this might help people see the connections. Also do you always need to incorporate all three roots or can you choose just one or two day to day?

i feel like i'm usually in two day to day- sometimes 2.5- like i'll have a sprinkle of a third root in an accessory or something. my roots are flower, mushroom, and sun- i feel like i'm usually mostly flower and/or mushroom but i do throw sun in there- sometimes w/ a bright color top or bottom or w/ some bolder jewelry, i actually have a necklace that is a literal sun which is one of my favorite pieces to wear- it's a delicate necklace but the number of people who notice it is pretty crazy.

I´m obsessed with this! You´ve created a style system that not only does not feel restrictive at all, it also makes you ask yourself who you are to treasure and defend that. It is about identity but it also leads you to personal growth. I hope it doesn´t sound silly, but trying to figure out your style based on what you like and what you value instead of genetic or stereotypes really forces you to value yourself for who you are instead of how you look.

I think if you're struggling to narrow your style roots down to 3, it can be really helpful to understand which style roots are more dominant than the others. I personally have 4 style roots, mushroom and mountain are ALWAYS there, but I pick from the less dominant 2 (flower or stone) to round out a look. I couldn't give up either flower or stone from my style as a whole, but for individual outfits I always pick one or the other, not both (So my style is always either mushroom/mountain/flower OR mushroom/mountain/stone, but not trying to combine all 4)

My roots are stone, moon, and earth. Stone is easy to create a base - usually leggings and an oversized shirt (all in black or dark neutral colors). I bring in Moon with structured combat boots with lots of buckles, chunky celestial jewelry, and messy hair. Earth is usually the last thing I think of and I recently found my perfect Earth piece - an army green cargo jacket. It adds a pop of color but doesn’t feel out of place. And it brings in the rugged feel without being over the top. Plus, it has tons of pockets and is super practical.

I think how we look absolutely shapes how we view ourselves. And it affects how people and society treat us which just reinforces it. Small people are praised for being delicate, gentle, etc. Tall broad women aren't expected or even acknowledged by society for being delicate and gentle. It's all just an ouroboros of people playing out and reinforcing societal expectations. It's so engraned in how we were raised, what we saw mirrored around us, what we received praise or critique for, it's almost impossible to step back from it and acknowledge what isn't our own ideas and preferences.

Absolutely true. I’m black and I automatically feel like I would be perceived with fire and sun elements, just by virtue of stereotypes (hyper-sexualised, sensuality, boldness etc). I even noticed that most of the fire and sun combinations on Ellie-Jean’s Pinterest feature black women, but it is hard to find examples of us in the other softer combinations. This isn’t a fault of Ellie-Jean (I’m so grateful for the diversity and effort in this system which is missing in traditional systems!) but just seems to come natural to our societal perceptions and impulses. It’s hard as a black girl who wants to dress in the more calm roots

@astrorable I have the same issue. I have a baby face, and people mistake me for being a teenager when I'm already 30. I've tried to stop wearing Flower because it's just very obvious that it makes me look even younger. I tried out Fire and Mountain but it doesn't even look good on me, it looks like a costume. And the only way I've been able to actually be perceived a bit closer to my age is to combine Moon with Flower. I still look young, because I can't really change my face, but it doesn't look like I'm a total teenager, it just looks like I'm in my early 20s. I think Moon can be paired with anything to make it less obvious, so that it adds a little bit more depth and doesn't look as childish on someone who has a neoteous face.

I found 3 roots provided answers but 4 was a job to collect, care for and curate. Having 3 but knowing all the stye roots lets me take an outfit that is not working (emotionally) because it is not from my three and add a pair of earing and outer layer like a scarf of jacket to make it feel more comfortable, turning it into a done style day rather than a failure. I really love your system, being quiet eclectic its been the most practical I've found. It helps me know why I might not like something but why I need to keep it or if I can safely get rid of it and it helps me keep dressing for others at bay.

What I absolutely love about your style system, is how fun it is. It's a lot about what people feel themselves, and what they LIKE. It's very open for experimentation, and just figuring out what makes you happy, what effect it is that you want to create with your outfit. Plus, I genuinely like the names used, they're inviting to use. It's a system that helps me in a fun and calm way figure out my style, and what I want to accomplish with my style. For too long I was entangled in this idea of what I 'should' look like, what I 'should' wear. This system helped me in looking at my clothes to find joy, and feel alive in what I wear. So just; thanks!

Hi, I kind of share the same struggle sometimes as metal, dark and alternative vibe is still in my core, but less in my style. To me, I feel completed when Moon is a nuance, a modifier, a filter through I can look at my total self. So it could be seen in my makeup, it's a subtle touch of silver eerie elements in my jewelry or the shadowy shape of an outfit. Sometimes is a soft lace detail in my cardigan, a leopard print in my shoes or a more obvious metallic skirt in leather. It's still there, just more mature. So even today in my early 30s it has happened to me that new people told me "you were definitely a metalhead" while I was wearing a neutral beige linen sundress (yes, mushroom is my main today). It's like the dark side of the moon or moonlight, you can't really see it but it's walking by your side.

I think my style roots are Stone, Moon and Sun. My main struggle is that I love earthy, autumnal colours (I also did a colour analysis and these colours suit me the most), however, I don't identify with the Earth style root that much. I also find that it fluctuates depending on the season: in spring and summer, I wear lighter, cooler colours while in autumn and winter, I bring out all the burgundies and oranges. I find Moon harder to wear in summer. I tend to wear too many Stone pieces.

It seems to be certain correlation between some roots and some colors (warm colors for earth for example) so this could be misleading. For example:a Deep Winter may overlook to choose the lower root and to choose the moon root instead, because the color scheme of moon is more similar to the colors within the deep winter color season than the flower root.

Is fire the only root that translates to sexy? I really enjoy having a sexy element to my clothes, but not anything else mentioned with fire. I prefer pastels and softer colours, but I like something in my outfit to feel touchable. Something that draws people in and makes them want to touch the fabric. I like soft and sheer things. Clothes that look like they are falling off or have a bareness to them. Colors that are close to the color of my skin and/or show a lot of skin. I feel most myself in light, but sexy clothing. I relate most to flower, mushroom, and stone in my style roots.

I was wondering what to do if I like elements of a particular root but not that root as a whole? For example femininity is a non-negotiable for me, but the delicate flounciness and floral patterns in flower don’t suit me. And I love the colourfulness and fun in sun but I don’t really like looking too bold, eccentric or quirky. To me, the type of femininity I’m trying to create is ‘bright’ and ‘lovely’, not necessarily cute like in flower or bold like in sun. A better combo would be sunflower 🌻 I guess in my case 😂 but is it right to cut and splice roots together?

I totally get where you're coming from. I was really confused whether I was Soft Gamine or if I was Soft Natural because I fit everything in the Soft Gamine checklist except for the slightly wider shoulders. Like my body looks petite because it's short, however I don't completely look delicate because of my wider rib cage and slightly shorter neck. Sometimes I too feel like I look masculine rather than feminine, but it was actually when I looked into the Body Matrix System that I realized that I was wide, short, and round, which actually helped me a lot. So anyway I will give you the gist of it, which is to actually lean into it rather than trying to erase it or hide it somehow. You actually want to emphasize your shoulders and wear a lot of open necklines, such as a scoop neck, v-neck, off the shoulder tops, or billowy blouses. The image of a smaller neckline is just going to make you look wider, so you should avoid that. It's not just in the tops, you can apply that same style logic to your pants. In my example, I would wear short, wide, and round pants, which would translate into flared a shorts, A-line skirts, skater skirts, bootcut and mom jeans , and even palazzo pants if I feel fancier. I think it's really worth mentioning that you should look into your Body Matrix type because that really does help a lot.

When you actully break it down, the main difference actually in the clothing is that ethereal is more deconstructed and has long lines - otherwise, sparkle, silk, chiffon, feathers, light colours, wings, are all flower elements. In terms of motivation, they are not that different to each other. Similarly cottagecore island y2k both have elements of flower but they are very different aesthetics. The ethereal aesthetic contains elements of flower, earth and moon!
I say its easier to cut out what you hate. I for example hate slouchy, baggy, unfeminine pullovers. I also dont like black or looking gothic. I like structure giving coats in a thicker and simple look of material. I find crop tops too girly and unmature. I find ruffles unpractical and your video with that tull in grey a big no. But im not mountain. My visual is playful and prints, soft, but sensual, feminine, off shoulder, cashmere, classy or and earthy. Bio cotton, linen, country. I like feminine and sensual fitted clothes, but not looking like party, cheap or like a slut mushroom, earth, fire, sun, parisienne flower for example I dont know a top 3, feels restrictive
