I'd rather not be asked how long I've been ill :)<br /> I've actually not been interested in wearing any purples, except wine, for a long time. I just have to a wear it a couple times for Goes Purple (opioid addiction/ rememberance) events. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-color-of-the-year-2023-digital-lavender#post-2310383 Sun, 26 Feb 2023 13:23:44 +0000 Greenjeans 2310383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love seeing this color!

I have been searching for lavender and lilac of late and slowly adding to my capsule.&nbsp;</p> <p>Some of these items are more pink/ blush than true lavender and some are more orchid but they do mix and match pretty well (within a season).

Currently i have no lavender in my wardrobe but in the past I have had various lavender pieces. I also like magenta but I think it is too "strong" for my fair complexion.<br /> By the way, yesterday i spotted in a shop a lavender pantsuit. I want to keep my wardrobe minimal and frankly i do not need a pantsuit but ... I am very tempted. :)<br /> Looking forward to seeing your new additions in this lovely colour! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-color-of-the-year-2023-digital-lavender#post-2310087 Fri, 24 Feb 2023 13:14:13 +0000 April 2310087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A touch more silver in the digital lavender and I'm in!</p> <p>I do wear that magenta sometimes as well (ME? yep) - not sure if it's a good color on me or not but I enjoy it every now and then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-color-of-the-year-2023-digital-lavender#post-2310085 Fri, 24 Feb 2023 13:10:01 +0000 Janet 2310085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both but don’t really wear either. Lavender sucks the life out of my skin tone for some reason, and magenta can be ok but I tire of it quickly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-color-of-the-year-2023-digital-lavender#post-2310075 Fri, 24 Feb 2023 12:51:18 +0000 Star (Lise) 2310075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both.&nbsp; They both work with silver hair.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-color-of-the-year-2023-digital-lavender#post-2310060 Fri, 24 Feb 2023 11:12:04 +0000 Brooklyn 2310060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both colours are tricky for me, but I prefer the lavender. I would definitely wear it as part of a pattern. For myself, I would prefer a version that leans more into the tan/dusty pink spectrum, which I have been able to find occasionally or create myself with dye.</p> <p>It will look great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-color-of-the-year-2023-digital-lavender#post-2310027 Fri, 24 Feb 2023 02:40:42 +0000 Helena 2310027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both and own neither I do have a few pieces that are closer to magenta. I used to always have a lavendar something in my closet but haven't for years now ... Perhaps time to re-add! It's always interesting to me to see how much these forecasts make it to retail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-color-of-the-year-2023-digital-lavender#post-2310026 Fri, 24 Feb 2023 02:36:23 +0000 BlueJay 2310026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Digital lavender is such a lovely colour. I think I would say that lavenders and lilacs are best for me. I've had complete strangers compliment me (in various ages and stages of my life) when I wear it! Unfortunately, I don't have many items in my wardrobe: one BR sweater, a couple t-shirts and a pinstriped shirtdress. Yes, maybe we'll see more at retail! I enjoy it on its own, or with white, shades of red, berry, and plum, denim blues, darker purple, grey, silver, brown, navy and black. Also, lavender eye shadow, or eyeliner works well with my hazel green-blue eyes.<br /> Looking forward to seeing your posts of it on the forum! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-color-of-the-year-2023-digital-lavender#post-2310019 Fri, 24 Feb 2023 02:25:39 +0000 Jaime 2310019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also a lavender fan and wear it when I find it! Probably more than Viva Magenta but I like that too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-color-of-the-year-2023-digital-lavender#post-2310014 Fri, 24 Feb 2023 02:04:06 +0000 Tanya 2310014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It would appear that Pantone is not the only forecasting company doing the color of the year predications, others are doing it as well and their predictions may be different from Pantone's Viva Magenta!&nbsp; WSGN predicts that "Digital Lavender" will be color of the 2023:&nbsp;&nbsp;<b><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.marieclaire.com/fashion/digital-lavender-trend-2023/">https://www.marieclaire.com/fa.....rend-2023/</a>.</b></p> <p>According to the article:&nbsp;“Digital lavender is a color full of hope and positivity” ...“It’s a shade that poses that much-needed cautious optimism and escapism that people are craving post-pandemic and even in times of budget crunch; it is imaginative and creative but also speaks of serenity and balance." .&nbsp; All of this appeals very much to me.</p> <p>The colors in the article are a mix of lavenders and lilacs, but they are close enough.</p> <p>I am very happy about this as purple is my favorite color and I already wear it a lot.&nbsp; This&nbsp; simply means that it may be easier to find at retail.&nbsp; &nbsp;It is a much more flattering color for me than "Viva Magenta".&nbsp; I had already planned to incorporate light purples in both my spring and summer palettes, and may incorporate it in the fall colors as well.</p> <p>Over to you- is this a color you like and would you wear it?&nbsp; Do you have a preference for it or for Viva Magenta, or perhaps both or neither?<b></b> </p>
