This is a really fun way of narrowing down your personal style. Designed by stylist Ellie-Jean Royden, the system helps you "define 3 core elements of your personal style, fuse them with each other and your body type with every outfit you wear."

There's a quiz on her website. If seeing example outfits is more helpful for you than a theoretical quiz (it was for me), don't miss these pinterest boards.

So what are your style roots?

Based on the Pinterest boards I think I'm Mushroom x Mountain x Sun. Which is funny because my quiz answers indicate I should be heavily Stone and Earth but those aren't how I want to dress at all.

Mountain - "The Mountain Style Root is the structured, formal source of inspiration in your style. People with the mountain style root are authoritative, ambitious and confident and dress in a professional, powerful, exaggerated style."

Not me. I'm not even officually employed, and not ambitious in the traditional sense (I describe myself as a type A personality in a type B body). But I like structure, I like being perceived as confident, and it's important to me to combat fat stereotypes by not looking sloppy. I want to look intentional.

Mushroom - "The Mushroom Style Root is the clean, understated source of inspiration in your style. People with the mushroom style root are calm, composed and serene and dress in a classic, timeless, minimal style."

I'm definitely not minimalist, which is why it's great that these style types combine. But I am practical (pockets! Pockets everywhere!) and I like being comfortable. I do have a relaxed energy.

Sun - "The Sun Style Root is the experimental, eclectic source of inspiration in your style. People with the sun style root are creative, eccentric, fun and dress in a bold, playful, artistic style."

This element was never in question for me. I'm drawn to bright colors and patterns. I like to stand out.

I love bright colours and patterns too! Vibrant, cheerful, stand out stuff.
