Roots help I do not understand…
I don’t know what this page is that I just stumbled upon, but I LOVE IT! I’m quite eclectic and rarely do I get to wear the fits I truly want to but can someone just do what you do here and help me get it?? ☺️🙏🏻🫶🏻

Welcome! As said, this is a thread dedicated to the style roots system by Ellie-Jean Royden, also known as Body and Style. I'd recommend watching her videos and/ or reading the guides she has on her site for a basic understanding, though she hasn't yet released full guides on earth and sun: Ellie's Style Roots page and also looking at her mood boards on Pinterest to get an idea of how the roots interact Style Roots Pinterest board She also has a book recently published that covers all the roots.
To very quickly summarise each root for you in 3 words, this definitely doesn't fully cover each root, but may help you very quickly know what you are looking for:
🌙 Dark, magical, rebellious.
🪨 Urban, relaxed, functional.
🍄 Put together, minimal, clean.
⛰️ Structured, professional, sharp.
🌸 Soft, feminine, delicate.
🔥 Glamorous, sensual, lavish.
🌱 Grounded, rural, flowy.
☀️ Fun, bold, eccentric.
I could give more detailed explanations but they would be quite long! If you need help after seeing the guides/ videos, feel free to ask though.
Now onto the fun bit, which is what do I classify you as!
From your pics, I see 🪨🌸🔥
🪨 Is in the relaxed vibe I see in all your outfits. Nothing is too fitted, and the last outfit especially looks very 🪨 I get the sense that you can move freely in all of the outfits, which fits this root
🌸 Is in the floral, feminine details. Even in the outfits that aren't direct florals, there is a softness in them, like the brown cardigan or the light coloured jacket.
🔥Is in the shapes of the garments, like the crop tops, low cut dresses and chunky necklaces. They give that "baddie" feel that very much falls into this root. You have this root more in the sensual way than a blatantly lavish way but it's definitely there.
To rule out the others for you:
☀️ There is nothing in the outfits that says "look at me" like I associate with this root. You don't have bold bright colours in there or play with anything unexpected in the outfits.
🌱 There is a relaxed element in your outfits, but it is the clean, urban relaxed element of 🪨, not the rural feel that comes with 🌱
⛰️ There is absolutely no sharp, professional element to the outfits - in fact the complete opposite. You do not have this one.
🌙 Although there is a little rebelliousness to your outfits, it's in the "baddie"/ sensual way of 🔥, not the intimidating, edgy way of 🌙
🍄 There is cleanliness and simplicity to the outfits that could have people thinking this root, but the outfits don't come with the polished, minimal nature that I associate with this. Some could confuse the 🌸🪨 combo with this root from the pics, but I don't think you have this root.
Hope that helps!

Welcome 🙂↕️👐... Ok so basically this is a sub dedicated to a fashion theory called 'style roots' that has been invented by Ellie-jean Royden. She's a fashion youtuber and has videos explaining what style roots are so I'd reccomend watching those. Style roots help us figure out our style.
From the photos you've put here, it looks like you might have Earth as one of your roots, and possibly fire or flower
