I'm not surprised you're a bright spring! The photo on this video alone is so spring 😆 thank you as always for these tips. I fall into the trying-to-do-it-all-at-once pit all the time!
I think we all do! I know I was probably blind to the possibility of bs 🫣 but excited to embrace it
You're brilliant, Gabrielle! This information is, for me, the missing piece needed to pull a cohesive wardrobe together that actually looks flattering on me. There were many "Ah hah!" moments when I went back and looked at my photos of "yes," "meh," and "no" outfits and checked all four pillars for each. My closet was then a very busy place afterwards. Thank you!!! ❤
I’m so glad it helped things click together 🤗
I’m so intrigued by your color analysis! I also have neutral-ish fair skin and medium depth, and I’ve been so torn between the bright and soft seasons. Specifically bright spring and soft summer (I know). So confusing haha.
I would love to see a video of your draping if you’re willing to share, although I know that content tends to usher in very opinionated comments 😅
Love your content as always 💕
I plan to share some photos and will do a video on what it means..but out of respect for sci art methods I don’t plan to share a full video of the process. But there is really a lot to it! Typically takes 2-3 hours of draping to determine
@@Gabriellearrudadesign makes sense! Excited to see what you share
Thanks for this episode Gabby, it's been super helpful cause I got full month of daily outfit photos and I did some evaluation but sorting them into categories and looking at them more detailed was super enlightening ^_^
As for seasonal analysis, I've been typed by professionals as soft summer, I can clearly see that in my appearance and yet I feel so bland and boring, slightly dead in most soft muted colors. Maybe harsh black and white is not the best for me but I feel so alive in them. It can be effect of my pretty strong dramatic essence which require more intensity in my look. And not to mention that pure black and white clothes are much easier to find and buy than soft summer colors, at least here where I live ;p
I'm glad this was helpful. Seasonal color is a really nuanced system and it does vary from system to system. Your colors should support you and lift you up. There should be a harmony between the two. I mean a ton of ppl thought I was a summer and I had the same experience where they just weren't doing much. I'm going to talk about how to find the right system for each person in a future video. But if summer colors aren't working, perhaps you need a bit more exploration there
Which category do proportions fall into? Shapes or lines?
Are lines more like 2d and shapes 3d?
Colour was my easiest from the four, details are also often clear yes/no, but shapes/lines/proportions are tough. The only thing I know I generally like stronger shoulder line on me, but even that is not always the case.
You could consider proportion part of shapes or details. I’d probably put it in details because it can have a spectrum. Shape we are looking for the full shapes to see patterns. Like I just a lot of straight, diagonal, relaxed lines. But my shapes are inverted triangle, regular triangles and rectangle. If you like strong shoulder lines you probably also have inverted triangle shapes, and possibly rectangle shapes
@@Gabriellearrudadesign Thank you, Gabrielle! Putting proportions into details category was unexpected for me. Actually, I have preference for relaxed rectangle or inverted triangle, but I was confused if I just liked them as a style statement or they really suited me, or if I looked dowdy in hourglass/triangle shapes or I just felt dowdy for some inner reasons.
I'm slightly pear shaped, but I'm not sure I like to accentuate my waist.
I do not do very well with stiff rough fabrics, which looks like it's about details and outline (relaxed lines) at the same time.
I'm looking forward to 4 pillars work, because both Kibbe and fruit shapes were not very helpful and left me kinda lost and frustrated. I've already started some work similar to your 4 pillars framework, just writing down any observations I can pinpoint without filtering it through body types guidelines. Creating your own guidelines feels low-key intimidating because I have difficulty separating "I like/don't this in general" from "I like/don't like this on me".
I think all these observations are great and to continue to explore them should be your goal. Take the outfit photos and start seeing what themes pop up and if adding in or removing one of those elements makes a difference. I plan to do some further short videos on this topic like how this concept can help you take an outfit inspiration and tweak it, and how it can be used to explore if something is really a natural fit for your style. This should help you pinpoint the "i don't like this on me" to "i don't like this in general" after a while of data because you can see "I never wear this shape" so pieces with that shape shouldn't be prioritized in your closet. Similarly, once you develop a style statement or guiding style goal (dream style or personal style mapping) it can help to vet it against those, elements as well. This is a base framework that should really work for you, and any aesthetic goal can be applied.
@@Gabriellearrudadesign thank you!
How do the "4 pillars" differ from our "style toolbox"? Are the 4 pillars just a summary of the key elements of our style toolbox?
They are within your toolbox. But it’s just a different way to look at individual outfits based on your daily outfit photos or to vet a purchase. My newest video might help clear it up.
@@Gabriellearrudadesign Thanks for clarifying! I'll give the new video a listen
