Last week Pantone announced that the color of the year for 2015 would be Marsala. I knew it was a wine color (Marsala wine... hello!) but also knew that it was kind of a Rust color as well. My first thought was that it was very 70's, and I didn't think it was a good choice at all.
(I couldn't resist including the wing-backed chair, it's the same ones we have, but in Marsala of course)
Now, the color is growing on me a bit. I'm not head over heels for it, but I do like it in makeup colors, and for accents around the house, and when it's combined with baby blue I think it is a really pretty color combination.
All in all, I don't think I'll have a lot of Marsala pieces, but I think I will accent with it. How do you all feel about Marsala? Will you be wearing it?

I love the nail polish color! I do think it's a very beautiful color but would really work best in the winter/fall. Although paired with light blue it does look gorgeous!
I think for me I'll wear it in accessories more than clothes...but Blake Lively looks amazing in that dress!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this color! I was sooo happy it was chosen as the Pantone color of the year.
i wish it was a little darker WINE color!! xo jillian - cornflake dreams
I'm really excited about Marsala! I was never crazy about Radiant Orchid so I'm happy with the change. Love that nail polish!
Loving this color! Especially that nail polish!
Same over here! I wasn't a fan at first, but it is growing on me some now. Love the things you picked in this color!

I love it as a lip or nail color. In terms of clothes, I would wear a dress that color, or a top. I also think that it looks nice with gold. - Caroline @ Windy City Chic
It's such an expected color, which is what I love about it. It's different and color that is flattering on every skin tone. Those chairs... DROOL!
I'm not sold on Marsala...unless we're talking chicken ha. Love the chair though!
I'm not crazy about the marsala color either- radiant orchid was the bomb though!
I agree that if I had just heard of it without seeing your inspiration board I wouldn't be too excited, but some of those pieces are fabulous!
I don't think this is really my colour.. I have a burgundy top that is similar but it's definitely not 'marsala' lol. and of course Blake Lively wore the colour before anyone else ;)
I am loving this color palette. And the chair is chic. Loving your picks. Great post
To be honest, I kind of hated it until I just saw it paired with the baby blue. I'm still not OBSESSED with it but that is nice combo.
I never got over the year of emerald. I am still in it.
Loooooving the color scheme! This would be a gorgeous nail color!!
I agree with the makeup colors, I really like the blush and lip color. I also like the nail polish! There's something very romantic and soft feeling about it in makeup tones.
I could take it or leave it for clothing, but I just don't gravitate to the deeper reds usually.
Yeah, accent pieces for sure!!! Oh maybe a nail polish :-)
Not a huge fan but I like your board!
