And the color of the year can be polka dots, stripes, or anything else as far as I'm concerned! </p> <p>My "shadow" word is ZFG these days Didn't want to put that on the home page though! I may look sweet and innocent, but have become a grumpy old lady lately- just ask mom and DH :)</p> <p>As far as the colors- chocolate and wine were considered cause I wanted to expand my complements. Greenery would be a great earlt spring color. But I'd want to wear it with light neutrals...therefore the light neutrals won the woty spot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-wordscolors-that-were-considered#post-2247702 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 02:22:43 +0000 Anonymous 2247702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Word: &nbsp;fun, hope, out. &nbsp;Color: &nbsp;coral, aqua, greens. &nbsp; Ext year I will be ready for a color. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-wordscolors-that-were-considered#post-2247699 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 02:09:01 +0000 Carla 2247699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Word and colour were chosen early (October/November);and with conviction. &nbsp;I’ve wavered in previous years though, but chosen as follows:</p> <p>2019: joyful/red<br />2020: celebrate/amber<br />2021: heart/green<br />and for 2022: hope/blue</p> <p>Though I have gone into the year with two 2021 purchases in the ‘china blue’ colour I selected as my colour of the year, I don’t feel compelled to purchase clothes in that colour. &nbsp;I may keep it top of mind whilst shopping, but it’s more about the&nbsp;<i>feeling&nbsp;</i>I get from the colour, and not so much owning or wearing it.</p> <div><br /></div><div>I can say with some conviction that if the pandemic and some global troubles can get sorted out, and the end of 2022 is looking up, I’ll be looking at orange or some other in-your-face joyful colour for 2023! &nbsp;:-D </p> <p> </div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-wordscolors-that-were-considered#post-2247688 Wed, 12 Jan 2022 23:08:04 +0000 Minaminu 2247688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At the beginning of the month, I was thinking of using Transition as I would like my wardrobe to reflect the current lifestyle. Then I come across the word "respair" which I found very touching. It means "the return of hope after a period of despair." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-wordscolors-that-were-considered#post-2247668 Wed, 12 Jan 2022 19:42:18 +0000 Helena 2247668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy and Mary, if I can do "black and white", you can do "ticking stripe" and "polka dots"!!</p> <p>My original word was 'emerge', which I mentioned in the comments, but Angie's suggestion to go with 'emotion' was bang on.</p> <p>As a colour, I am always tempted by blues - but I don't need to remind myself to bring blue in; it shows up all on its own :D</p> <p>suntiger, what helped you land on yours? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-wordscolors-that-were-considered#post-2247648 Wed, 12 Jan 2022 18:06:17 +0000 MsMary 2247648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, I'm with you!

It occurs to me that letting go will be a big part of this year too; my son to college, my parents will likely move out of my childhoood home and we’ve feared for several years that my dad might not make it. I have no idea what I want with a certain dude in the upland south (or he with me), but learning to “hold on loosely” is clearly a requirement for anything there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-wordscolors-that-were-considered#post-2247618 Wed, 12 Jan 2022 16:34:20 +0000 Anonymous 2247618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok for fun- what were your other considered words and colors for 2022?</p> <p>Mine were:</p> <p>Word- time/timeless, NO, reset, light/enlighten, ZFG, free/freedom</p> <p>Color- wine, chocolate, greenery/Kermit green </p>
