Though I have my eye on a couple of bags - one a replacement and one to fit a new upcoming need to have something stylish to toe my work laptop around in.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Mary Beth</b> and <b>UmmLila</b> - I have as many houseplants as I can keep away from my cats up high right now. Which is three - I had four but one seems not to have survived the change in seasons. If the plants are at cat level, they will get gnawed on. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Angie</b> It's true. The dregs of last season aren't very appealing. I have mostly been interested in sale prices on outerwear, boots and bags. The sale clothing offerings have been uninspiring.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Sally</b> - the jade green in my office is staying. We painted ourselves in May. There is a lot of white (trim, doors doors and two big windows too) to balance it out so the color doesn't overwhelm. It makes me feel calm and energized when working. <br /></div><div><br /></div></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-color-some-style-goals-for-22#post-2247891 Fri, 14 Jan 2022 09:33:40 +0000 Sally 2247891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your word, refresh and it does give a positive vibe.&nbsp; Green is also a a great colour..will you stick with the jade green shade?&nbsp; Winter can be tough on your skin and your psyche.&nbsp; I hope you have a better refreshing 2022.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-color-some-style-goals-for-22#post-2247880 Fri, 14 Jan 2022 03:52:51 +0000 Anonymous 2247880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christina, you have had a tough year, The word and color seem hopeful and I hope they help you regain control of your space. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-color-some-style-goals-for-22#post-2247868 Fri, 14 Jan 2022 02:06:39 +0000 Jaime 2247868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Color and word sound perfect for you right now.

Excellent goals, and I empathize with feet that have no padding. Very good for you to go through your footwear thoroughly and look after those cute feet that work so hard in a city where you're on foot all the time :)</p> <p>And green is perfect for you right now.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Suz</b> and <b>Christina,</b>&nbsp;it's an uninspiring time to shop right now. Between seasons, no sizes, and major shipment delays. Give it a couple of months!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-color-some-style-goals-for-22#post-2247814 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 19:50:42 +0000 Anonymous 2247814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty puffer- and big yay for green!

Here's wishing you a revitalizing year of growth and renewed energy.&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree 100% with your assessment of what is out there (and also of BR going back to its roots!). I have been uninspired by many offerings I've seen and I think that has also been part of my own fashion related problem.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-color-some-style-goals-for-22#post-2247779 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 15:37:18 +0000 Christina F. 2247779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>My word is REFRESH. Since you all know what a crappy year I had, this shouldn't be too much of a surprise. I feel a strong need to refresh most areas of my life--my home (even though it's new, it's been through a lot), my friendships, my skin (I am looking dried out and tired lately).</div><div><br /></div><div>Interestingly, I am not sure where my wardrobe fits with that. I think I want to refresh a few things rather than revamp, though. I think my new moniker of Colorful French Girl fits with where I was already going and will not be a huge change.</div><div><br /></div><div>My color is <b>green.</b> I've been very attracted to it lately, due to my work (environment-related). I painted my office jade green. I bought a green jacket, though it's kind of shading towards peacock, and keep looking at green outerwear. I think green fits with refresh and my desire to be colorful.</div><div><br /> I will add that I have not been especially energized by much of what my favorite retailers have been releasing. This could be because my wardrobe is sufficient now, or else that people are wanting basic items right now. </p> <p>BR is doing a good job by going back to their roots, though.</p> </div><div><br /></div><div>I am able to include some more specific goals than in my last post:</div></p> <ul> <li>Refresh under things and socks (have started)</li> <li>Keep adding to lounge capsule, now that I have a home where I can control the temperature (has been in progress)</li> <li>Continue looking for pants that fit me better and are a more relaxed silhouette (continuing from late 2021)</li> <li>Assess whether all my tops will go with non-skinny bottoms. I think I have a few that are best with skinny jeans. I will need to see if they go with other bottoms, since most skinny bottoms are gone from my wardrobe.</li> <li>Cull some of my rattier looking summer clothes without adding too much back in. It should be two out, one in if <i>anything</i> has to go in at all. </li> <li>Figure out which boots and closed-toed shoes don't work anymore; make adjustments by adding insoles where I can. I have developed tailor's bunions, and the bottoms of my feet seem to be losing padding. I don't want to get rid of all the dressier shoes I'd wear to the office, but I don't wear them enough to assess them well. I've been making efforts to wear some shoes around the neighborhood to see how they feel now.</li> <li>Replace my tri-climate jacket for travel. It's too tight around the bottom. It zips, but doesn't look or feel good. Fortunately, I have professional discounts with Columbia, North Face etc! This is a must-have for my cold weather travel wardrobe, especially if my husband wants to go on a ski trip. Travel will be a thing again eventually, right...?</li> </ul> <p><div>On a related note, my skin is looking tired and I have darker circles under my eyes. It may be because I was sick last week and because my allergies are bothering me this week (not covid, thankfully). I may also need to sleep with a humidifier on, and adjust my skincare routine. Definite refresh needed!<br /></div><div><br /></div>That's all I got for now. </p>
