STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Marvelous Marsala

By the end of February, it can be difficult to mix up your outfits with the consistently cold weather. How does a college student stand out in a sea of The North Face jackets and UGG boots? A simple way to stand out from the crowd at your university is to return back to the basics with your clothing.

This Fashionista knows how to create an outfit based on easy-to-wear items while adding her own personal style to the look. I love how she incorporated marsala into her outfit, which has been named the color of the year by the Pantone Color Institute. You can easily incorporate this color into your wardrobe. If you don’t want to wear bold items like pants or a dress, try a marsala colored scarf to test this color out before spring.

With the vibrant color of her pants, this Fashionista knew that she should keep the rest of her outfit casual by keeping her neutral color consistent. She paired her pants with black boots, a black T-shirt and a black jacket, which are all staple pieces in one’s closet. When wearing a bold color in your outfit, whether it’s a bright colored top or printed pants, make sure to add a neutral color. This way, you won’t worry about mixing colors that don’t complement each other, which is why hues like black or gray are great choices when working with a bold color.

I love the addition of a pendant necklace. It adds a unique feature to her outfit without drawing too much attention away from her pants. If you’re looking to add accessories to your look, a pendant necklace or a scarf are always great options.
