2015 Pantone Color of the Year: Marsala

Dress // Sunglasses // Necklace // Ring // Bag // Boots

Merlot, burgundy, oxblood … I honestly couldn’t tell you the nuances between the names, but I can tell you that Pantone’s 2015 Color of the Year is right up my alley.  Marsala is a dark shade of red-brown.  It feels rich, but earthy.  It makes for one sultry lipstick or a fierce pair of heels, and it’s the perfect way to add a touch of color to a sea of black and grey.  Dress it up with a long-sleeve frock and over-the-knee boots or keep it casual with a pair of fluid pants and a cozy sweater.  This moody hue is stickin’ around for a while.

Winter Outfit // Sweater + Leggings + Beanie

On the last leg of our trip to Europe, we visited Germany.  We ate Christmas dinner at a 400+ year old beer hall, I watched my fiancé, dad and brother chug giant steins of beer.  Not your typical holiday with the fam, I’d say.

Sweater & Leggings

Munich was, by far, the coldest city of the trip.  It would snow for hours on end, which was a good enough reason to stay in, bundle up in a blanket scarf and relax for a bit.  We definitely needed it after a non-stop itinerary in London and Paris!  We eventually made it downtown for sightseeing and shopping (not necessarily in that order …), but I stayed bundled in a textured sweater and leggings, with a shirt and beanie that I borrowed from the mister for good measure.  It’s just as cold back in New York now, so I can pretty much guarantee this OOTD will be on heavy rotation for the next few weeks.
