With Monday being the Labor Day holiday tomorrow, today is my "second Saturday." In order to celebrate, I thought I would glam it up a little bit and share my Outfit of the Day (OOTD) and Makeup of the Day (MOTD) with you! Hope you like it!

This cropped denim jacket is one of my favorite pieces currently in my closet. It's fun and a little edgy with the zippers and black stitching details. I wear this jacket all the time for casual Fridays at the office. The jeans are to die for! I love super long jeans for my short stature. If I wear heels with them and let the hem brush the ground, it helps me feel taller! I will need to wear a little higher heel next time to get these off the ground more, though. I also like pairing chunky jewelry with edgy pieces. I think they mesh well and show off a little of my personality at the same time. A pop of bright color, like purple, is a fun way to jazz up a mostly denim outfit. I also like to make sure I never pair two denim pieces that are the same wash color. It ends up looking to matchy-matchy, so I try to mix it up whenever possible.

I had to have a little fun with the hubby's guitar since he had it out for his own photo shoot today. I can't play it, but it sure is fun to accessorize with!

My makeup of the day consisted of a full face of products by Maybelline, Hard Candy, CoverGirl, NYX, E.L.F. and Wet 'N Wild. I chose to go with browns and a little glitter shadow, black eyeshadow for eyeliner and two lipstick shades with a gloss over top. NYX eyeshadows blend super easy for me, so I usually only stick with them for my eyes. They are a brand you can get at your local drugstore or Target (and budget friendly, too!). I used E.L.F.'s brow duo to fill in and shape my brows. I don't like super strong, defined arch brows for me, so I keep it soft and with my natural brow shape. I also chose to define my nose and cheekbones with an NYC bronzer compact to give my pale complexion color and a more sculpted face. The hardest part for me is always the lips. I can never get a shape I like without looking too caked on. I still need more practice and better products in order to get the right shape and fullness without the products bleeding into my liplines. I'll keep you posted as I find new products I like. I used a Fergie Wet 'N Wild lipstick, NYX Black Rose lipstick and NYX pink gloss to get the color.
I hope you enjoyed my first OOTD/MOTD post! I enjoyed doing it, so I will most likely be posting many more that will include more thrift store finds.
Much Love,
~Heather
