Inspired By: Pantone's Color of the Year {Marsala}

So long Radiant Orchid, hello Marsala. Marsala is an intriguing color. At first I was like...meh. It's an earthy brown-wine color, but it started to grow on me. While I wouldn't call it a pretty color, it could definitely be a new neutral, like navy or gray, but with more of a pop to it. Pantone calls Marsala "a naturally robust and earthy wine red" that "enriches our minds, bodies and souls." I like that it's similar to burgundy, but more rustic. 

Dresses

{Marsala}

Since Marsala is a deep color it works well for dresses this time of year. It's moody but still fun. The first outfit would be perfect for a date or a casual office; pair a lace dress with a navy scarf, a navy ring, and dark brown buckle booties. Or for a party don a more fitted dress, Marsala lipstick, sparkly cuff, black tights, and black heels.

Tops

Make Marsala a new neutral by pairing it with bright, summery colors, like yellow and pink. Go casual in an open cardigan, bright yellow blouse, sky blue earrings, jeans, and yellow flats. Or wear something super girly and cute: a Marsala top, light pink necklace, floral skirt, rose ring, and pink heels.

Outerwear

Stand out from the crowd by wearing a Marsala-colored coat while everyone else is wearing black, gray, and navy. For a day running errands or hanging out with friends put on a gray sweater, distressed jeans, arrow ring, and striped sneakers. Or wear a loose coat, faux-leather dress, gold cuffs, and black and leopard print wedges to the office.

Accessories

Do you like Marsala, but want to test the waters first? Wearing shoes or a handbag in the color is the perfect way to spice up your next outfit. Mix up two interesting colors: sky blue and Marsala. Wear a striped cardigan, blue lace dress, tights, and booties. Or wear something more urban: a big gray sweater, a light blue t-shirt, black jeans, a backpack, and sneakers.
