Marsala & Leopard
Marsala is the Pantone color of the year but I have only pulled it out once or twice. Once again I happened across an instagram style challenge with Shannon {you can find her here) and today’s combo was marsala and leopard. Believe it or not I could have created multiple outfits straight from my closet yet never once have I considered the two together. Here is what I decided on.
Our office is definitely on the business casual side more often than not but I still like to feel pulled together. This top is from Ann Taylor and it is almost four years old. I know this of course because I purchased when I was on a trip to Vegas for Jordan’s 21st birthday!
The cardigan is from Loft and I seem to have the best luck with cardigans both here and from J. Crew Factory. At loft I am able to purchase true to size in a medium but at J. Crew I always size up to a large.
Will school back in session my trusty photographer has been more busy than usual but I was able to drag him out for a few shots when I arrived home from work.
Eventually I’m going to branch out and purchase some fun colored Kendra Scott earrings but every time I try I just cannot make a firm decision. I have this grey pair and a lighter neutral pair and both go with everything.

These black crop pants are also from Loft. I love them because the fabric is a little thicker and has just the right amount of stretch.
These shoes I cannot say enough about. I purchased last fall on super sale and I have never worn them without receiving at least one compliment during the day. This exact shoe is unfortunately no longer available but you can find a similar style in this brand in tan here.
Look out friends, I got a selfie stick and I’m not afraid to use it! Actually, I am a little afraid that every person on the planet seems to have this figured out with no problems and the struggle is real for me over here. Technology is awesome but I am a slow learner sometimes!
Have you incorporated the Pantone color of the year into your 2015 wardrobe?
Here are some posts I found with more ideas on how to bring this color to life for yourself.
