I love your theory much more easier❤

5:03 I used mbti and enneagram to help me decide my style! My type loves to dress up, feeling unique, is drawn to the boho life, and loves nostalgia. It helped me nail it down as I had an idea but I didn’t understand it. I thought everyone loved nostalgia so to learn that was a unique trait to my type really explained a lot. This episode was so nice 🥰😁

Another great video talking about being your authentic self and ways to help get there. I love the inner world, depth, a relaxed atmosphere and calm. I will be using these as my words for my style moving forward...... thanks for your dedication to the style world...

Gaby, this has got to be one of my favorite episodes so far! I've been struggling with the issues of identity vs. style toolbox and you addressed exactly that. I think I'll have to relisten a few times. Thank you so much

I really enjoyed this podcast today. I was just reading Shopping for the Real You by Andrea Pflaumer and was on the chapter about dressing for your lifestyle. This made me think about all of the obsessing I have been doing over getting my colors, my essences, my body type just right. I live alone, I am mature and I rarely leave my house. Why did all this become so important? Now here is to getting back to just being. Ahhhh! Thank you

So it's time for me to let the long hair go! yay!! 🤍🤍

Excellent! Thank you!

Always happy to be here❤

Fire as always🔥🔥

Thanks Gabbie! This was so helpful and insightful.❤

My two fave style KZfaqrs😭🫶🫶

I had an in-person sci-art analysis with a woman who has been in the profession for over 20 years and was typed as a bright spring also, but struggled a lot with accepting the results. I did notice a 'glow' and harmony with bright spring, but I also noticed if I were to drape myself on video (not photos) with a variety of colors, the soft summer palette gave me a very strong moonlit look, and noticed I would get a ton of compliments in that palette. When I would compare (on video) the soft summer with the bright spring, my skin would no longer retain a glow in bright spring. So I ordered two other virtual anslyses from Carol Brailey and the colour studio ladies and was again typed bright spring by them too! I have come to the conclusion in nearly 2 years since my in person analysis that I think there are two ways of viewing a drape: one is that your colors should flow into the drape and that the palette supports you, or two, that you are looking for a sheen, a freshness, an iridescence from within the skin. I don't think there is one way to analyze someone, hence all the different systems out there. I feel like I honestly look great in both soft summer and bright spring, and generally think people can look good in more than one palette if they wear the right makeup and jewelry.

Your hair and eyes are very bright and warm brown <3

Thank you so much. This was the most informative video on dramatic type I've ever seen.

On the flower example of crossing over with the other style systems (flower~soft gamine) there are so many different kinds of flowers! Like a lush rose could be ying and romantic or a small tight rose or tulip might look more classic but a Lilly might be more dramatic and Yang with its sharp angles, a daisy feels quite obviously gamine.. I think there is something in this…

Love this so much. More please!

This was really great. I’ve really enjoyed trying to figure out my style roots, but couldn’t settle on a third one (after sun and moon). I waited patiently to see the different examples on Pinterest which made me even more confused both because I was surprised by what resonated with me the most (sun+moon+flower) but also because I found quite a few other categories that felt right but involved different roots. I loved what you said about reinterpreting other trends or roots through our main three because it made me notice that I could indeed interpret or adjust most of the looks I liked through the sun moon and flower roots, and I felt much more confident in that choice.

These two coming together !!!!!!! Unbelievable!!!!!!!! Just fantastic!!!!!

I think I might have a blend of angelic and ingenue but i'm not sure at all

Definitely, you’re a Bright Spring. I never personally thought the Winter colors were quite right. Not bad at all, just not “it”.

You remind me of someone like Rachel Weisz, she has been typed as Deep Winter and Bright Spring. I feel like you’re very neutral and hard to type.

Yes to this duo! Captain Marvel & Wonder Woman tbh. But seriously... you two changed my life. Helped me find my style and self again after dealing with several health issues and feeling completely lost in my 30s facing the new fashionscape. Thank you both. ❤🤗

I've loved Elle Jean for a long time. So cool to see another fabulous women talking so intelligently about these topics. Looking at fashion and aestehics in these ways has allowed me to better understand why something gives certain effects. I used to not get why leather jackets fx looked so cool on other people but really weird on me. But then I realised I dont have a moon style root, I am an SD and soft autumn so (most often) black, heavy fabric jackets with a short line and no waist definition looks boxy in a very awkward way.

Gabrielle- you look so beautiful in your new colour palette. It gels with your intelligence and curiosity and sense of fun. Inspiring ❤

Thanks for introducing me to this lovely lady.

Great!!! Thank you 🎉

Like I had fashion moments in my life. I remember been at king dominion and wanting this band tee and as I’m heading for it my mentor says “do you even listen to them? Name one song” idk it shook me he was right right all I loved about that tee was the font colors and the fact that it was black. there and then I knew not to be part of something that wasn’t authentic to me. Now I found a tee with the same font and everything to make that decision to get it Bc it says Africa is like a character design motif almost

I have this idea of people having layers. I’m happy for whatever my child hood was I still own it in me as if I took it with me and it boiled into this

A very wise man once said “you can’t actually capture the totality of the person in one picture it’s impossible”- David Lynchburg meaning what makes you you is all th experiences and how you react in them with your corps it’s also how you see yourself and wants people to receive you I’ve found that we all have different types of beauties in us or just specifics and even not having anything (if that’s possible) is also something to show. But everyone has an attitude towards life and periods of time all this is our soul. And clothes can’t truly express it all, but who said it’s just about the clothes that’s what I feel we get wrong. I could show you people wear the same garments but none of them looked the same. It’s lifestyle tone body type expression of philosophy mixtures and intellect. Growth comes with time your evolution was so fast you live a lifetime. I have this idea tha

🤍 amazing

I finally made it today to watch the video! And it inspired me to look again at my style roots and how they have changed since last year... Now with all the new information I gathered especially in the last months and even weeks my style roots should be a blend of SUN, STONE and MOUNTAIN. I guess that will be hot to practice and put them to the test in real life! What are your style roots, Gaby?

I’m the flamboyant natural with the mushroom flower (and mountain) style roots LOL I find it’s more about honoring the space and silhouette of my body type and then allowing a lot of that mushroom in and maybe a few frills here and there or maybe a bow on the sleeve for the flower or just lighter makeup and the curled hair for the flower and obviously I feel like mountain can just work really well with us Yang types. But it does help that I have a strong classic essence I think, to help pull in the mushroom.

My narrative is a girl leader in an alternative world similar to "The Flintstones" but elegant. There are representations of their cosmogony in their clothing, tribal prints, furs (velvet, faux fur, vinyl, animal print). I don't know why I thought of something so absurd. 🥺 But I like it!🎉

I feel like I'm flying partially blind when it comes to my color season. I'm confident I'm an autumn, and that muted colors look best on me, but I still struggle. I'm very fair, and I think my undertone is warm, but I can't tell for sure. Many warm colors look awful on me, but cool ones can easily wash me out, and I have some hyperpigmentation in my cheeks that I feel gives me a yellowish cast and throws things off. I also have auburn hair, which adds a whole other variable when it comes to color and what looks good. There are shades of purple that I really love, but they bring out the orange notes in my hair and just clash so badly, I can't wear them. Green or blue look great with red hair, but the wrong one makes me look like a ghost. I like my natural color a lot and have been embracing it for a good while now, but I didn't have this problem as a bleach blonde or when I went all black!

Cautionary tale: When I realized I was a light spring rather than a soft autumn I went on this huge shopping spree for pastel colored things and then I realized I am NOT comfortable wearing pastels, nor do I know how to wear them, and they do not reflect my personal style! I ended up donating almost everything I purchased 🙃

Gabrielle you look INCREDIBLE in the bright spring colors, I am reminded of Jennifer Garner in 13 going on 30 💖 So glad to see Ellie Jean here, I am obsessed with her style roots system, it's original and well thought out and its helped me so much!

My dreams have come true!!

Literally so excited for this crossover!!

Omg name a more iconic duo!!!

Gaby and Ellie, wonderful conversation! Enjoyed every moment. You both are awesome.

@elliejeanroyden @gabriellearruda. I FOLLOW YOU BOTH, and this was so helpful. If you ever do a part 2, I would love to hear the thoughts on what happens when a certified determination blow your beliefs. I had a Caygill color typing, and the colors are not what I expected. Also @elliejeanroyden, what happens if your colors just don't seem to be able to fit into the style root? Or if you cannot locate your colors not only in your wardrobe but they aren't remotely on sale? Thank you so much for this session.

Thank you both so much! It was a thrill and a joy! 💖✨

wow that's crazy you're only 5'6! I would have said 5'10 at least! you are gorgeous :)

So so many great questions! The most important thing for me would be looking for ansewers inside not the outside. I wasted so much time asking people on a group ,stylists about my Kibbe body type and color season. People say I must be a gamine, theatrical romantic, flamboyant natural and classic. How crazy is that?! I realised, I've totally lost myself and I knew what I like and look good before all that journey. It's that because I can't rely on someone else's opinion or a 'verdict' I need to feel it by myself 😊

Great resources, thanks! I think I'm mostly natural, maybe 60-30% natural/classic and 10% dramatic. If I wear something wholly classic I look MASSIVELY dressed up. I can usually wear men's pieces without any problem, I think that's part of the dramatic essence in me. Looking at things through the essences and the Kibbe system really makes a lot of sense and explains many of the whys I've had with why some things compliment and some just don't look good! Plus color analysis, of course 😅

Omg, my favorite fashion girlies together ❤

Two of my favs 💕🩷

yeah to me you're so the classic type, mixed with indeed romantics elements, but it looked the most "in harmony" in relation to your exterior in comparison to the dramatic/pure romantic :)) Amazing video thank you!!

I've never clicked so fast in a video ❤❤❤
