Daily Look: Black & Gray

Sweater: J. Crew // Skirt, Earrings: Loft // Boots: Banana Republic // Bracelet: H&M // Nails: Butter London  Gobsmacked // Lips: MAC Rebel

Well, it's yet another freezing cold, snowy day here in South Bend, Indiana. Thankfully, I've got an extra-thick pair of tights and a surprisingly warm sweater to get me through it. That, and a fun new lipstick that's brightening up my winter days. Sam got it first, and after trying it, I decided I needed it too. If you've ever seen Rebel, it looks absolutely crazy in the tube--super dark purple and scary. But it goes on really pretty! And it's cheering me up during this not-so-cheerful weather.

What do you do to brighten the dark winter days? Do you ever use makeup to cheer yourself up?
