Have you ever wondered, if there is an order to the clothes we see at stores? Well say no more, because there is. This year for example has a color that has already been announced. It is the colour magenta.

The Colour Magenta

Often times when it comes to clothes we just walk into a store,  just trust what is being proposed to us, find something cute to us, and we buy. We trust the company to have sold us the latest trends and to have produced what will look cute.We trust famous influencers online, and what the popular girls in schools wear. As adults we trust what we see on magazines and on other moms and women.

But that is not the right foundation to a closet.

Rarely do we question as masses whether there was a consensus on which colors to publish. Rarely do we even question if what is being proposed to us will even look good put on and is truly fashion forward.

So I’d like to show you the order to all of this world chaos.

Not all brands will sell the right collections, with the right colors, styled the right way.

Not everything in store windows are well put together. And the number one thing that I want to let everyone know about, is the fact that there are indeed a few staple colors that do come out each season that one can wear if you are a fashion lover like myself and want to wear the latest and look good and well put together.

Do you think about who decides what will be in style first, and which colors will be in style during a specific season? Like in the Movie the Devil Wears Prada mentions, there are a few designers that sit on top of the world and come up with their latest collection, and then there is everyone else after copying and imitating and adding their flair and twist to decisions that have already been  made.

So here is a little secret I am going to let you that we all followed in Italy growing up.

Every year the top fashion companies release a few colors that are going to be in style for the season or the entire year. 

Those colors become the foundation for the majority of collections throughout the year.

They will be used by many fashion stylists, interior designers, and every brand for furniture, clothes, paints, household goods, appliances, curtains, shoes, socks, bras, sweaters, coats…

Growing up in Italy, I loved that every season, announcements were made as to which one or two colors were going to be in style. Fashion magazines talked about it, and even the news.

Soon most Italian boutiques would put together beautiful outfits with the corresponding colors. Going window shopping made me drool over clothes like looking at a 20 carat diamond.

This is still done to this day. During my latest trip at the end of the summer, I loved overhearing women going window shopping and commenting how military green was going to be the color for fall.

Playing with color is so exciting, and adds an element of fun and variation in one’s closet.

Before you plan on turning your life and closer and in a full Magenta feast, hold up!

Although there is nothing wrong with it, it doesn’t mean it will be the only color available in stores, and the one everyone should wear. But it’s definitely a fun color worth adding to one’s closet.

What’s magenta color?

Just recently in the United States, it was announced, that the pantone color of the year for 2023 will be… drumroll please Viva Magenta.

The Pantone color of the year 2022 was called Very Peri.

This gorgeous deep blue with a hint of purple, which is also extremely warm, was used for many wool sweaters this 2022 fall and winter in fashion collections, and released by many notable fashion brands. You can click on the photo or here to purchase it.

Pantone is mostly followed by interior designers, but you can still expect in the near future to see this color being used quite a bit.

Now does that mean that your entire closet should become magenta in the next little while or so? Once again, please don’t do that. Just know that now you can follow this little trick to make sense of what colors are in style the most. Just be open to play with this color this year.

NOW HERE IS A HUGE HINT: Depending on your skin tone, you will most likely need to find the right variation of magenta that is perfect for you. That could even mean you will opt for a more pale baby pink version of this color. If you are confused as to how to achieve, this feel free to send me a message, and reach out to me on social media by clicking here. I will help you guide you through how to decide this. I also do closet consultations for $100 to anyone who wants to start and learn a few basics to better their decision making skills when it comes to their closet.

I particularly love when new colors are released because it allows me to explore and play with shades that I may have not before.

For example, last year I bought my very first swim suit in that blue tone. And can I say that I had no idea I could fall in love with such a color so much.

It paired with my skin in a beautiful way and allowed me to finally break free from the traditional blue jean colors I was used to and add some variety to my life by starting from my own closet.

Pantone recently wrote a quote about their opinion of viva magenta. I absolutely love their quotes because I have been praying lately that as a nation and world, we can become bold again, and find new horizons, hopes, and desires for a better future as a humanity. So I hope this color can remind everyone of that as we work towards our goals and our hopes for our own individual future.

On twitter they posted:

“ An unconventional shade for an unconventional time “

Remember that this color will NOT be the only color in style. In fashion there are also seasons, and multiple colors will be released, in fact I am going to share next in the near future which ones are the variety of colors for fall and winter 2022-2033.

The post The colour Magenta of 2023 that you don’t want to miss appeared first on Life At Casa.

I am super excited to get back at blogging a lot more than the past. 

Truth is blogging is a really hard journey and one’s gotta want it for it to work. Making money with it is a beast and learning how to rank on google is even harder.

But the reason why I have decided to still do it is because I really REALLY love it. 

I consider myself a teacher at heart. But right now I am a mom and I don’t want to go teach boring stuff at schools. Instead I am very passionate about other subjects in life.

One of them is the one that I am going to discuss today! 

Fashion and clothes! ParticuarlyI want to focus on moms everyday outfits ideas.

I remind myself every time I write here, that if I can help but one person or change someone’s life it is worth it. So here I am putting my skills out there to hopefully help someone in return. 

Keep in mind that my goal is not to select fast fashion items. 

By that I mean clothes that you will wear and wash twice and you will be wondering why you ever thought it was a good buy. 

My goal is for every woman or girl out there to have a closet they love so much that every item in it, is their favorite and will last.

So I try to do that with some balance. If I find a good deal I will post it in here. But otherwise I will post the best of the best of what I can find because I want you to love what you spend your hard earned money on. I want you to love it for more than one winter, and I want you to feel like a queen when you put your clothes on, even if you may not end up spending your day out in public and being seen by everyone. 

You do this for you first and then everyone else. 

For TODAY I am will share my first board. It’s a very elegant outfit that I think it’s perfect for Christmas or New Years. I got it for myself as well. I chose it because it’s still comfortable enough so I can bend, chase after little kids, but not compromise on being warm and still elegant for church or a party or a nice walk in the city. 

An elegant Christmas reminds me of parties and white and gold. What a perfect way to celebrate by not only decorating the tree, but also wearing something festive. 

the skirts runs a little big so I would suggest to go a size down. I paired with 3 different styles of shoes. Two of them are originally handmade in Italy and made by the one and only Jimmy Choo. His shoes are timeless pieces and glitter gold is a color they have mastered for many many years now. For the sweater I can also recommend a more sustainable brand if you are looking for 100%  pure cashmere which you can find here instead.

So here they are and you can click on each item to see where they are from below, and their price and purchase.

When purchasing from one of my links it doesn’t change pricing or anything, but by purchasing from one of my lists I make a super small kick back which in return compensates me for the time I put into putting these items together.

I would love for you to help me  by using one of these links if you decide to purchase any of these.

 Don’t worry everything is anonymous and I won’t even see who bought it. 

Also I will be posting LATER this week my Christmas list of gifts and how we have found a way to never be disappointed with what we open under the tree the hubby and I. 

Followed next by how I started to curate and create a perfect closet where I love everything that is  in it.
