Maybe because it's officially fall and this warm, rich, sexy
color is everywhere!
My color guru Leatrice Eiseman who leads the team that chooses
the Color of the Year for Pantone says:
"Marsala enriches our mind, body
and soul, exuding confidence and stability. Marsala is a subtly seductive
shade, one that draws us in to its embracing warmth."
Ooh,
now I see why I've fallen so hard for it!
Whether
you wear it out on the town,
Or running around town,
Or splashing in the rain,
HOW TO WEAR MARSALA
She says "If you are ready to fully embrace the Color of the Year, a colored denim pant, a sweater, or a wool coat will be a great addition to your upcoming fall wardrobe. Pair it with opposite colors such as teal, navy, green, and blue as well as neutral colors like ivory, blush, copper, and grey."
Another amazingly talented friend, Glacier Kingsford-Smith, owner of Plenty and one of the my fashion-forward people I know, says one of the favorite things about Marsala is "it's a really universal color that almost any skin shade can wear, yet it's still bold."
Glacier suggests mixing it up with mustard or a blush, coraly pink or even mint or light blue for something that's unexpected and fun.
She says it's a "killer color for accessories, shoes and bags, kind a neutral bold so it's a great investment color."

So, what do you think of Marsala? Have you fallen for it or are you still warming up to it?
I say yummy. This non fashionista says hello Marsala. I think I actually have a blouse and a dress that color.
