Nuancedream’s “courage” struck a chord with me—lack of it could be why I don’t “GO” (my word). 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.

Probably the same "shadow" words that I use since 2020 - Survival and
Fighting .
I haven't settled on anything for 2022 yet - I liked the idea of waiting a bit for a spring to come ( or to "feel" spring ) to get inspired .
Mostly I'm wiped out from this holliday ( people and clothes ), inventory
( 5 am ;( ), stress and anxiety .

I considered ‘ticking stripe’, lol, but that’s not a colour and just sort of a persistent obsession… Like puff sleeves for me.

Rachylou, I'm with you! I feel like I want my "color" to be "polka dots!"

Rachy and Mary, if I can do "black and white", you can do "ticking stripe" and "polka dots"!!

My original word was 'emerge', which I mentioned in the comments, but Angie's suggestion to go with 'emotion' was bang on.

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

suntiger, what helped you land on yours?

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."

Word and colour were chosen early (October/November);and with conviction. I’ve wavered in previous years though, but chosen as follows:

2019: joyful/red
2020: celebrate/amber
2021: heart/green
and for 2022: hope/blue

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. I may keep it top of mind whilst shopping, but it’s more about the feeling I get from the colour, and not so much owning or wearing it.

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!

Love respair! And the color of the year can be polka dots, stripes, or anything else as far as I'm concerned!

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

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.

Next year, I'll officially add patterns to solid colours.

My original one was please myself - I came up with that in November when I said to someone that I wanted to make a habit out of pleasing myself more instead of pandering to others. I was going to choose yellow or more specifically chartreuse as I love that colour. It is also similar to orange which I chose. I might look around to inject more of that colour in my wardrobe anyway.
