Ok, so it's not quite 50 Shades of Gray (is any one going to see that when it comes out February 14th??) but I did decide to go a bit monochrome with this outfit. I love faux leather so when I saw this 3/4 length faux leather sleeve sweater from H&M I immediately loved it. It's a lightweight sweater so it definitely isn't the best for those super chilly days but it's perfect for the Florida "winters" and a spring or fall day up north. I decided to continue with the faux leather look by pairing the sweater with my favorite faux fur leggings and a black and white aztec infinity scarf my mom got me for Christmas. I even went monochrome with my accessories, grabbing my gray purse and black and gold jewelry to go with it so my only pop of color was from my red lipstick (totally channeling my inner Taylor Swift here). I got this lipstick in one of my BirchBoxes and I absolutely love it. It's a matte finish with super vibrant hues that stays on forever! Even when I got home and wiped it off my lips were still slightly tinted red. Definitely a recommendation if you don't want to reapply your lipstick throughout the night!

I'm not really one to sport a crop top during winter (actually I rarely sport them at all) but I saw this crop top at Target and I couldn't resist! The colors and print are so fun and we all know I can resist anything with sequins. The skirt is actually supposed to be paired with a sequin pencil skirt (also from Target and also equally amazing) but they didn't have the skirt in my size and I figured I could pair the top with something more casual than a sequin skirt. I bought this simple black bandage skirt from Sophie & Trey months ago and I've really found it's the perfect skirt for almost any top so I figured why not try it out with this. It wasn't AS cute as it would have been with the sequin skirt (because seriously, anything with sequins is pretty much always cuter!) but I was still pretty happy with how it looked together. I love that the top is a t-shirt crop top so its comfy and can be casual or dressy. I can't wait until spring when I can pair it with something else and not freeze my butt off! ;)

Who says shorts can only be worn in the summer or spring? One of my favorite trends this season (thank you Kate Middleton for making tights cool again) is tights with shorts. These adorable leather shorts were one of my favorite summer items and I was so sad when I thought I had to retire them for fall/winter. Then I saw a picture of Miranda Kerr wearing a pair of leather shorts and sheer black tights and I knew I could keep these shorts going. I decided to pair them with a casual white sweater from H&M and heeled booties from Target. I wanted to dress it up a bit so I threw on a sparkly scarf and grabbed my fun glitter clutch and headed out for the evening. What do you think about the shorts and tights trend?

Light Up UCF is such a fun little event at my alma matar held every year around Christmas. It was a gorgeous day to go, although slightly breezy, but with it being so close to Christmas it was pretty empty. I decided I wanted to be comfy walking around so I decided to wear leggings with this adorable chevron sweater one of my close friends got me for Christmas. To finish the look I decided to throw on a tassel necklace I got from Forever 21 last year and studded ballet flats I got from Target for only $10! I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and got everything they wanted! :) Be sure to check out all the amazing sales going on right now!
