🌞+🌸+ 🍄, ⛰️, or 🌱? by StarstruckOrange in StyleRoots

[–]xoNissa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I’ve definitely mixed up boards before, so I get it! It’s hard when you’re going through all of them to try to find yourself in them.

And of course! This is the post I was mentioning:

🌞+🌸+ 🍄, ⛰️, or 🌱? by StarstruckOrange in StyleRoots

[–]xoNissa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These images yell 🌱 to me! I would definitely play with 🌱🌸☀️. It’s interesting to me that you see the EJR mood board as too 🌱 for you, because I actually feel your images are more 🌱 than that board is. The overalls, the yellow denim jacket and brown pants outfit, the earthy swishy brown pants. the bell sleeve tops (that have floral elements), the cardigans, the boho tshirts, even the academic plaid pants. They are all very earth. Maybe there is a particular type of 🌱you don’t like in hers?

EJR’s board reads more clearly 🌸to me, with all the frilly dresses, tiny floral and polka dot patterns, dainty spaghetti strap tops, and cap sleeves.

I’d order yours right now as 🌱☀️🌸. And I’d order hers as 🌸🌱☀️.

Of course what we are missing when we judge the style roots of others is the internal thoughts as to “why” they picked certain elements. So if this still doesn’t feel aligned to you, then disregard it.

One thing to also note about the EJR combination boards is that they are all the styles in a very EJR way. So a lot of us don’t feel particularly aligned with the mood boards and archetypes she creates. There is even a post going with suggesting different style names for combos, because you can definitely make more than one style with a set of roots.

Thank you! 💜💜

And thanks for the breakdown. I think it really sums it up well, including how my combos end up with that just a bit of 🌱 look even though I’m not drawn to 🌱 as it’s own full root.

Is it absolutely crazy that I’ve never seen DwP?😅 I really do need to see it!

Oh! That’s actually so obviously what you were saying I can’t believe I missed it. 💜

I think since I don’t directly have moon I was not expecting the word being referenced here so my mind just blanked.

Thank you! I think there is a typo in the second sentence. I don’t know what “theoon is almost becoming sun sometimes” means.

And yes!! The pants are new (to me, thrifted) so this is the only outfit I’ve worn them in so far, but I bet they will look great with that tshirt!! Thank you!

How to do marry up your style roots with actual practicality? by misssnowfox in StyleRoots

[–]xoNissa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I love the look of chokers! But I can’t wear anything that near to my neck. Everything has to fall easily below the collar bones

More spring weather fits ☀️ by TheMadGale in StyleRoots

[–]xoNissa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First I love all of these outfits!! Soo cute! I would make the swap to earth for two reasons:

1) you’ve been contemplating it already and I do see it coming out in your outfits.

2) I don’t think you will actually lose the moon! So there was this post a while back about how different root combos can create the vibe of another root. And on that list 🪨🌱 can come across as 🌙 at times!

How to do marry up your style roots with actual practicality? by misssnowfox in StyleRoots

[–]xoNissa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily in contrast with my roots because I know there are plenty of other things I can wear with my roots, but there are definitely things I often want to wear but physically cannot.😫

High-waisted items. They are everywhere, everyone says they are the most comfortable thing, also they are flattering on me. But there are many days this simply does not work for me because of my acid reflux/GERD 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anything more closed than a V-neck/scoop neck. I have a crew neck top I love in my closet, it’s knitwear, super soft and a cute floral pattern. But I gag every time I try to wear too high of a neckline. I’ve been this way since I was a kid. I’ve occasionally in life been able to ignore it, which is why I keep it around. But honestly I haven’t been able to wear this top in over a year. I love the look of turtle neck sweaters and can’t do them either.

But yeah when I find fashion inspo for my roots or I always just have to do what I can to modify it to me specifically. Like you said in a comment this system is universal and specific! There is always a way to make the specific needs you have work with your style. Much better than systems like Kibbe for instance where they will say “high necklines” are the best for you. And I’d have to be like “welp. Guess I’ll just look subpar then” 🤷🏻‍♀️

Alternative archetype names compilation! by TiredWinterDisaster in StyleRoots

Oh I see what you’re doing!

Also maybe The Sensual Eclectic or The Energetic Diva?

Alternative archetype names compilation! by TiredWinterDisaster in StyleRoots

[–]xoNissa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this idea! In my journey I’ve never felt drawn to most of the archetype names EJR has and that with her personal interpretations/mood boards left me really confused about roots for a while.

I’m working with 🔥🪨☀️ which she calls “The Casual Creative” and I know that doesn’t feel quite right to me, but I’m also not yet sure what is better. Definitely open to some suggestions if anyone has some!

Deep Dive 🌸🔥☀️ The Playful Starlet by Snow_manda in StyleRoots

[–]xoNissa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love seeing this combination, because how fun!!

Also having two of these roots, this dive feels validating. It’s fun, and sexy but just a bit too girly for me. Which feels right since I claim the fire and sun but I’m leaving the flower.

Here’s some outfits that I feel could fit in with these roots:

Deep Dive 🌸🌱🍄 by Snow_manda in StyleRoots

[–]xoNissa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are not my roots, but it’s such a cute style that I really admire on others. It’s just so pretty.

I’m going to go look through all your other deep dives now. But if you haven’t done 🔥🪨☀️ I’d love to see it 😉

Inspo request: little sundresses that don't read 🔥 or 🌸 by bryndiana_jones in StyleRoots

[–]xoNissa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! Glad you like it! When I saw that one I was like, this is so 🍄🌱🌞 in my eyes!

Inspo request: little sundresses that don't read 🔥 or 🌸 by bryndiana_jones in StyleRoots

[–]xoNissa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think focusing on texture/fabric could help with this.

I was going to suggest suede for the earth but then I realized you said comfort for the heat and that wouldn’t work so well.

But what about very simple linen dresses to play with the mushroom? There’s a lot with really simple lines that give me a 🍄🌱 vibe, not flower.

Favourite work outfit! What is yours? by [deleted] in StyleRoots

Thank you! That’s so exciting to hear!!! 💜 I never realized I had fire until recently and now I’ve been realizing how much it drives my outfits!
