I love the burgundy on you—those are my kind of purples. I struggle with true purple as well. It should flatter but I’ve never had any success with it. Great to see you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/done-with-2022-purple-polish#post-2300983 Tue, 10 Jan 2023 02:53:53 +0000 Jaime 2300983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Purple was my 2022 color! Your collection looks grand!

It’s a workhorse! This wine shade is lovely on you and I am with you on the high anxiety and need to relax! Great word choice for 2023 (I can’t believe it’s almost time to choose a word again!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/done-with-2022-purple-polish#post-2300964 Tue, 10 Jan 2023 01:24:08 +0000 Zaeobi 2300964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find that purple is as difficult to get 'just right' as teal! The undertones &amp; temperature are always slightly 'off' for me in some way - e.g. I'd like a deep &amp; warm plum purple, but instead have found myself settling for 'wine' (deep red) on many occasions instead. </p> <p>So I can commiserate! I'm not giving myself a specific colour either this year (2022 was 'Teal Limits') - but there are 2 colours I'd like to add more of. So here's to relaxing in 2023! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/done-with-2022-purple-polish#post-2300962 Tue, 10 Jan 2023 01:16:09 +0000 Angie 2300962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GREAT new word! I chose RELAX five years ago :)</p> <p>Looking tonally fab and very relaxed in #5! 2023 is off to a good start.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/done-with-2022-purple-polish#post-2300950 Tue, 10 Jan 2023 00:21:49 +0000 slim cat 2300950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wholeheartedly support "Relax" as a word for 2023 shopping .<br />I'm a bit too stressed during and after holidays to go into 2023 planning right away - I'll leave it to the spring ( after the next wardrobe edit ). <br />I like purple pieces you've got but it could be not the right shade or texture to easily incorporate it. Case to the point - I've got vine colored cashmere cardigan January 2022 as a "easy" color and was a bit at a loss this winter season - it didn't look great with my other things ( except blue jeans - not versatile enough and too dark for my skin tone ).<br />I may borrow your word of 2023 in my future shopping . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/done-with-2022-purple-polish#post-2300936 Mon, 09 Jan 2023 23:20:40 +0000 Anonymous 2300936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your purples! Big yay to Relax as the word of the year too *insert sunglasses emoji here* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/done-with-2022-purple-polish#post-2300934 Mon, 09 Jan 2023 23:18:16 +0000 Roberta 2300934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love all those shades of wine. I think they really suit you! I agree that a true, clear purple is a difficult shade to wear. Sometimes I feel like it's a little childish, for some reason?</p> <p>I had the hooded version of that LL Bean jacket, and I managed to leave it in a hotel in Florida. I am still very sad about that. The color is great on you and I hope you get a lot of mileage out of it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/done-with-2022-purple-polish#post-2300929 Mon, 09 Jan 2023 22:57:24 +0000 MsMaven 2300929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Purple--color for2022.<br />Polish--word for 2022.</p> <p>So that didn't work out so well. In January I lined up my purple clothes. Whoops, more like fruit and veggie colors, from raspberry to eggplant. It turns out that I don't like true purple that much, and now I understand better after reading discussions on YLF. I don't like wearing most clear colors--I feel best in muted or slightly grayed tones of colors, like wine and shades of coral.&nbsp;</p> <p>I did buy a few items, some dark purple NYDJ. I didn't like wearing them so I hung them in the out-of-season closet. I bought a purple scarf from Novica, beautiful color but it's alpaca and irritates my neck a little, as does wool.&nbsp;</p> <p>At NAS I bought a purple blazer. Still has tags on. Didn't feel right in autumn. I got it out before Christmas and whoops again, it doesn't fit quite right--holidays and travel expanded the waistline.&nbsp;</p> <p>Many of the items lean more toward purple, such as the LL Bean quilted sweatshirt. And the pair of Francis no-tie sneakers from Orthofeet.&nbsp;</p> <p>Not picking a color this year.&nbsp;</p> <p>My word for 2023: RELAX!</p> <p> The last 3 years have been stressful. A certain amount of the anxiety &nbsp;I realize I have imposed on myself.&nbsp;</p> <p>#1 last year's purples<br />#2-3 Novica scarf--a little wrinkled from drawer.<br />#4-5 Today's outfit. NYDJ always need to be shortened--didn't bother yet. LL Bean quilted zip sweatshirt. I've bought 3 of these now: this color, dark green, and a taupe that I wore out last year.&nbsp;</p> <p>And the Orthofeet no-tie sneakers. I have another pair of these in pink. Pretty comfortable, knitted fabric so my feet don't overhead. With bunions, I don't like to wear socks.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.orthofeet.com/products/francis-maroon">https://www.orthofeet.com/products/francis-maroon</a></p> <p>I'll try the blazer again in spring. Annual post holiday ritual: eat too much, then work on repairing the damage.&nbsp; </p>
