Happy Halloween!

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

Halloween is here and along with it, all the ghosts👻 and goblins!

I look forward to doling out the sweet treats,

 and seeing all the kids decked out in their costumes 

Our neighborhood also hosts a pre-trick or treat party,

where the kids, adults (and pets) are encouraged to parade their creations

in a costume judging event complete with prizes

It's so much fun!

Will you be getting in costume 

or going to any Halloween parties?

I'll be wearing my Hell Bunny dress

I've had it for quite a few years,

and I always get it out at least once around Halloween

It looks like a pretty, full skirted, floral print, fit and flare dress,

until you look close and discover the white part of the print is skulls💀! 

Pink and purple posies and skulls

Roger's Halloween accessories 

I am glad he likes to play along!

Some spooky accessories on me:

Rhinestone snake hairband,

black glass stone encrusted spider bracelet

and oxidized vintage silver tone chain necklace

Carrying a silver metallic quilted chain strap bag

Black suede block heel sling backs with stylized bows

to finish the look

Here is another October outfit, with just a slight nod to Halloween-

a black and white bug print blouse

I have had this blouse for several years also, 

and I like the quirky, unexpected touch the print adds to a look

Bug blouse worn under a roll tab sleeve blazer with black straight leg trousers

I think I have mentioned this before on the blog,

but does anyone else find the current crop of neutrals a little hard to work with?

This blazer is a color described as "Ace Beige" 

Under the florescent lighting in the retail store where I purchased it,

I thought I could work with the color

But once I got it home, it looks sort of muddy, and a slightly mauve-ish hue

It does not look right with any of my other neutrals, except for black and white

so black and white it is! 

   

   

Adding a little color with my jewelry 

An adorable vintage 1940's green lucite dog brooch,

Kate Spade gold tone and green stone open cuff bracelet

and chain link earrings 

A little more green in the accessories for this otherwise neutral outfit

 A reptile embossed bag that has a handle that adjusts to a shoulder strap

Same black suede sling backs my first outfit to finish the look

I add this image because of it's Halloween vibe!

I was trying for an outfit photo to participate in the Songful Style Link Up Party in September,   

representing the song "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri from the Twilight Saga  

My experimentation did not work out as planned

but did turn out looking kind of spooky!  

Hope everyone enjoys their week and Halloween! 🎃
