Marsala - Get The Look
In case you haven't heard, Pantone has chosen Marsala as the color of 2015. It is a warm, sultry wine color that is flattering on pretty much any skin tone, and can be played up in multiple ways, whether it be as clothing, accessories, or beauty. While I must admit I was a bit skeptical about this color pick initially, I can now say I've grown more excited as I've realized the versatility of the rich shade, perfect to start wearing now and through the season.
I think shorts can sometimes be underestimated. They're great, even in the winter, because they can be dressed up without feeling stuffy the way a dress or a skirt can feel. Throw them on over tights, and you are warm, dressed up, and free to move without restriction. I tried two looks here - one with a casual long sleeve top, tucked in to show off the cinched waistline of these fabulous shorts. The lacy top in look two is a little more daring and sexy, something you can wear to a holiday party.
Of course, how else would I complete this look but with plum-wine stained lips. I'm so into the Melted lippies lately because they feel great on - staying power without drying out the lips. Not to mention the gorgeous colors.
How will you be working Marsala into your wardrobe this year? Into it or not?
