These are great! And I think these boards can be really useful for determining and verifying our roots because the outfits are put on a level playing field by virtue of being chosen for the same context.
Unsurprisingly to me, my favorites were 🌙 🌸 and ☀️ although I wasn’t in love with 🔥 which was a bit of a surprise. I love these and I’m glad you posted them. I’m not an office lady but it did help to see what I was drawn to :)
Very helpful, yes! It is so obvious that 🍄 is my style root, just delete beige from it! And then 🏔️ + the obvious 🌙, nowadays quite subtle even. And the new words: practical = effortless, aspirational = cool (or is it? Maybe not. I have to think about this still) and emotional = rock n’ roll. Yes I have to find a better word for 🏔️. It definitely is not formal or business or strong like I though earlier.
And when it comes to luxurious, I feel like I don’t have lush enough features, not in my face, not in my body. I am rather modest looking and my body is like teenager’s, no lush 😝 I know style roots shoud not be determined by psysical features, but that is the reason I abandoned fire. It made me feel I am trying too hard to be more womanly and I was not happy with that. And more masculine styles just work for me better, I no longer consider them to be unattractive on me.
Yes, there are still many elements of fire that I do prefer, especially materials! I did consider classy! But it felt too … sophisticated and restricted for me maybe? I am not particularly formal and do not wish to be. And maybe classy is too much in contradiction with my idea of effortless and rock n’ roll. This morning I saw Allison Bornstein’s video about balance and there it is: balanced! I like to balance different contradicting elements and this approach also works for Flamboyant Gamine that has contradicting elements in one’s appearance too! And also I balance my lines with heels nowadays again and that is also 🏔️ I guess 😅 (Or I will when the streets around here are no longer deadly slippery!)

I was going to comment the same! This helps me to rule out some roots and also to consider others. I surprised myself saving several sun outfits!
I would love to see a board of roots and loungewear!

I know you considered fire for a long time - perhaps your mountain word is luxurious/classy?
