I realized that I really am a Sapphire because I always seek to be dressed correctly for the situation (external inspiration) and I always want to make a good impression (impression priority) by being dressed appropriately for the event in an effortful and elegant way, but make it head-to-toe. The style key really helps to drill down into the style logic and style techniques of your specific quadrant instead of getting lost in a specific Archetype. Truly marvelous!
This is helpful! Thanks for some concrete advice! I’ve been the amethyst telling myself “it’s just for me so who cares” when what that really means is I’m tired of other people not getting it-tired of being hemmed in and judged, and it’s for me in the sense of *I* get to decide what looks good and how I express myself. Making the message clear of what im expressing but releasing attachment to how it’s received is the tricky Enigma point.
i looooove what you said about the impression keys-that we want our clothes to say something about us so that we don't have to say it for ourselves. this is exactly why i feel so much more comfortable as a LU in "eccentric" clothing or accessories than i do in clothes that feel good on my body but are ultimately neutrals and expressionless. so interesting!
It worked! I remembered which key I am ! (moonstone). And the analysis was spot-on. Even if I am not planning to dress like anyone else in the room, I am still planning to dress for the room.
It is so much clearer than before! I'm really impressed to see how better and better you make your system. Out of all the youtubers that talk about style, I think you are the one that helps me the most in term of finding my own style and not just understanding what suits me best. Thanks a lot for all the brilliant work!❤
Just found you today, how do you only have. like 7K something subscribers here? I can’t wait to see more from you and your style key. It’s not like any other system I’ve heard about yet, seems very effective.
My underlying goal is to create harmony with my inner style and my social and physical environment. I want to create both an internal feeling and the outward impression that I'm "at home" in any setting, that I "belong", but I ALSO want to reveal/have made space for my dramatic and romantic and natural essences. I want to feel "like myself" and "like I belong" at the same time. So I think I'm definitely using external motivation. But I'm struggling to work out if I'm outward-impression focused or internal-impression focused!
I just realized that Right is dominated by blue (Sapphire, Moonstone) in your system and Left is red (Ruby, Amethyst in a way). And Amethyst is violet which is red+blue aka the experimental/trendsetting type drawing inspiration from other quadrants and ending up creating a unique colour
I talked a bit about this in the "renaming the system" video but for me the sapphire and ruby are opposites, the Amethyst is a combination of the two and the Moonstone is like an iridescent sparkle that combines red, blue and purple but in a shimmery dreamy way
Loving these new videos! So-so helpful. When you said we need to practice using either internal or external I just realised that's where I went wrong usually. I just waited for it to happen naturally and that didn't work for me. Can't wait for the rest of the videos!!
No worries about the hair- everyone can relate to having a rough hair day now and then- thankyou for posting a youtube video anyway:) Hope you are over the cold soon!
I love your videos! You are so fun to spend time with and your humour is delightful! The stormy sea has been very overwhelming, thank you very much. This is the best sandwich solution I've seen in a while.
I was confused about where I landed when I first watched this video. I went further back and watched earlier videos on this system, including the long ones explaining all the archetypes in each quadrant (helped me understand more about the quadrants but still was unsure), and then in some of the tips videos for 2022, Rita said something that helped click in to where I was really seeing myself. Rewatching this video now, it clearly confirmed it for me! So definitely watch as much as you can.

Omg what a good tagline 👏
@dumas damn well said! I’ll be using that, thank you!

Yessss
"So I don't have to say it" is literally how I've formulated my style approach before I found Rita's channel

Sounds like r+d Moonstone but that's just my first guess
@@StyleThoughtsbyRitahahaha this comment is me, a person who thought I was left down, or just down, but I’m realizing I a Moonstone

#relatable
I definitely have an external starting point. I moved to working from home in the past couple of years and I'm feeling very uninspired!
I have to like... Arrange my life so I can wear the types of outfits I want to wear
I loved this, and I'm feeling really excited about the upcoming videos (sandwich filling, lol)! Hope you are feeling better as you read this!
Thank you Haley 🌸
This is so helpful! The way you organized the types of priorities is amazing! It really puts things in perspective!
Thank you Lipa 💜
Wow! This illuminated a lot for me. I'm definitely feeling more certain about my style key now. 🥳
I hope you get well soon!
Yay!
Me as a Muslim fasting in Ramadan
Rita: see the style logic as a sandwich
me: oh no
Lol and also sending you wishes for a peaceful Ramadan 💜
