I’m so old.

I’m so old I was around when marsala was called burgundy.

It’s true.

Burgundy hasn’t been burgundy since what?…1980?

There was wine, maroon, cherry, more recently, oxblood. Yet another “shade” of a marginally redder burgundy.

This year though the burgundy has a bit of an orange/brown undertone…thus it is now marsala.

Thus my vintage leather coat that I thrifted for $1.50 comes darn close to the colour of the year though.

Full disclosure. I got it for $1.50 because I had $10 credit at Talize.

I know I already own a burgundy/oxblood/maroon/marsala leather coat…but this one is shorter, and 1970’s style. And it came with a special surprise hidden in the pocket…

An old kleenex.

Surprise!

Here I am wearing all shades of grey. I’m not going to even mention the 50 shades…

So yeah…burgundy ooops I meant marsala and grey work well together. Here are some other fun colour combos that show you how to wear marsala colour of the year 2015.

Do you own any marsala pieces? What colours do you pair with it?

One of my all time favourite shows is Mad Men which will air its final season starting April 2015. I’m going to cry when it is gone.
