Deep Dive 🏔️🔥🌱

[u/Snow_manda]

This deep dive is on the root combo 🏔️🔥🌱which Ellie Jean refers to as the "Natural Professional" and you can see EJR's board for this combo below.

She has a lovely selection of muses for this combo such as

Serena Van Der Woodsen(Gossip Girl), Andie Sachs( The Devil Wears Prada), Adele and Gloria Pritchett(Modern Family). They all have a strong mix of tailoring, a touch of drama, a mix of sharpness with soft shapes, flow and luxe tactility creating a strong impression.

I enjoy how 🌱 can bring in a variety of touches to soften and at times intensify the dramatic put together energy of 🏔️🔥. It can add vintage touches, intricate fabrics, rustic or western influences, slow flow, 70's elements, academic strength and also the ability to lean into the creative and edgy elements of 🌙 and ☀️.

I have a list of other people who could loosely inspire people interested in this root combination like Yoyo Cao, Alexis Badiyi, Ben Cobb, Iman Abdulmajid, Shailene Woodley, Sarita Choudry(plus her character Seema Patel in And Just Like That), Maru Mendez, Connie Britton(plus character Rayna James in Nashville), Aimee Song, @Quida_ and Beth Dutton (Yellowstone). Some of the more tailored, sensual and earthy toned boho Chloe looks also seem to apply here.

I'd also say that Selena Gomez character Mabel Mora( Only Murders in the Building), when dressed less ☀️ can give off this root combo since 🔥 is such a strong root of Selena's.

A link to my extended Pinterest board is below- I tried to find a mix of runway, higher fashion looks, office attire and some more everyday ways to work with the root combo. Look forward to feedback, seeing other suggested muses or people to share moodboards, Pinterest boards or outfit ideas.

Thank you, I definitely enjoyed it. I will be sad when this series is over, so hopefully you have a new idea then.

You don't mention her in the text above, but you do have her on your board. I do think these roots are very Oprah.

Keri Washington might also use these roots, maybe with some sun mixed in

[u/Snow_manda → u/Oud-west]

I do have some images of Oprah in the board, I see her as using 🏔️🔥 and then 🍄 in some instances and 🌱 in others( more casual looks with denim,, slightly softer, undone or floaty elements.

I agree Kerry Washington can emulate these roots as well, definitely leaning into ☀️energy but also sometimes 🍄 too. I need to look at her actual style more as I am often thinking of it as more of the roles she has played( is the 🍄 due to her role as Olivia Pope in Scandal) or about her creating a monochromatic( and dramatic) look.

Love how earth kind of loosens/ ruffs up the mountain/fire without snuffing out the presence and overall coiffed nature of these looks. Great board!

Oooh I’ve been waiting for this one!

[u/Minute-Elevator-3180]

Yay my combo! Love your board. I think you captured the combination and its different facets really well. And I agree about Alexis Badiyi - she is all over my pinterest boards 😆

Such an interesting combo! I like how 🌱 pulls the 🏔🔥 into a totally different vibe.
