Back in December, Pantone announced
their 2015 Color of the Year - Marsala.
According to Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color
Institute®, “Marsala enriches our mind, body and soul, exuding confidence and
stability. Much like the fortified wine
that gives Marsala its name, this tasteful hue embodies the satisfying richness
of a fulfilling meal, while its grounding red-brown roots emanate a
sophisticated, natural earthiness.”
Once I found out that Marsala was the
color of the year, I searched my closet to see if I had any garment or
accessory that closely resembled the color.
I found a couple of items and I started envisioning how to wear this
color throughout each season. Throughout
the year, I will show how to wear this deep hue in each season. Below is an outfit perfect for the chilly
months of winter.
Winter - Marsala + Brown
For winter, I chose a Marsala hued
sweater dress and layered it with a printed scarf, brown tights, and cognac
boots while accessorizing with a rose gold watch, beaded bracelets, and a cocktail ring. I finished the cozy chic ensemble with my
maroon, black, and brown color blocked purse that I recently got as a Christmas
gift from my sister.
