I made this moodboard and it feels very me, and now it has me questioning my style roots. I thought I was ☀️🌱🪨 but I'm seeing a lot of 🔥 in this moodboard. I'm wondering if 🪨 is actually a root of mine or if I've been settling for casual, comfortable, practical items/outfits (I work from home and don't go out much) and it's not actually part of my style.

Taking a look at EJR's Pinterest board for ☀️🌱🔥 I hate it lol, it's not me at all. But I don't think her examples should inform my interpretation of this roots combo for me, so I'm still considering it.

I'd love to:

1. Know what you see in this moodboard
2. Hear from anyone who also mistakenly thought they were 🪨 because of their lifestyle
3. Hear your interpretation of the ☀️🌱🔥 combo (since EJR's board didn't resonate for me)

I’m a soft Left, soft Down ('The Allure' archetype), and I’m trying to hone in on my personal style so I can build a more cohesive wardrobe. The Allure has themes of desire, indulgence, softness, magnetism, and dressing from inner resonance.

I made this moodboard and it feels very me, but I'm having trouble seeing how it could translate into my literal everyday style. I work from home (i.e. don't go out much) and need to prioritize comfort and natural fibers due to chronic illnesses, and this feels a lot more fantastical than my actual life.

I’m very curious what through-lines other people see in it so I can figure out what’s worth translating into my wardrobe. What feels most consistent across the images (mood, texture, energy, color, silhouette, etc.)? And how would you translate those qualities into everyday clothes without losing what makes the board compelling?

I’m especially interested in what feels like the 'essence' of the board rather than specific items, but I'm open to any thoughts your brilliant brains have :)
