How to Wear Marsala - Color of the Year 2015
6:49 PM
Happy new year everyone! Hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday break. Lets start off the new year by getting right down to business!
Last month, Pantone announced the 2015 color of the year - Marsala. The color is very close to burgundy or wine. However, just like the name, the color is more on the soft, feminine and earthy side than the darker burgundy. It probably has something to do with the pastel trend that we are seeing today.

Because Marsala has such a deep color tone, I prefer accessorizing it or using it in prints instead of having a full Marsala outfit that makes me look like an...over cooked sausage. Here, the Marsala color is subtly reflected in my mocs, while the scarf adds a much needed splash of color and maintains a neutral tone. Marsala also works well with many of the cooler colors. Take a look at the color guide below to see how to mix and match with Marsala.

I came across these wonderful C.Wonder mocs (sale alert: currently 50% off!) after discovering a hole in my current Bed Stu Loafers due to wear and tear. Finding a fashionable pair of shoes I can wear every day is hard to come by. Luckily, I found these mocs during my holiday shopping in the mall. The pebbled leather is extremely soft yet elegant. The padded soles and treaded outsole cushion allow me to commute in the city every day with ease. Apparently I loved them so much, that mine were featured on C.Wonder’s Instagram last week! Check out my Instagram and C.Wonder’s to see what others say about these wonderful shoes.
Here are some of my favorites that would help you style Marsala for the new year. The best part is, majority of the bags below are currently on sale! Don't wait until the New Year's sale ends.

Thank you Heidi. You have a lovely blog too!
DeleteThis is such a cute post! My friend works in the fashion industry (on the corporate side) and she told me the color was leaked to the fashion world early. So many designers hopped on the ban wagon. I'm looking to add a few pieces to my closet as well. I'm a big smoking slipper and/or driving loafer girl. Your loafers are cute. I've never purchased any clothing or shoes from CWonder though I like their household items. Are the shoes comfy? I actually just ordered a pair of Christian Louboutins heels in this color right before the holiday. So excited. Not sure if my look will be as adorable as yours but I'll try.

I know right! I already started seeing a lot of this color earlier this year as well! The shoes are really really comfortable. Like I said, the super soft cushions/soles allowed me to walk in them all day. It's like...wearing sneakers but prettier :)
