Halloween

 Hello and welcome-

thanks for stopping by my blog today,

 for my halloween post!

This year, as every year since we have lived in our community,

which is nearly 13 years now,

 there has a party with a group trick or treat afterwards

(except during Covid lockdown)

The party is so much fun and includes everyone:

Children, adults and pets dress up,

 and are judged in different categories

for their creative costumes

 The winners in each category receive small prizes

 You can imagine a lot of fun-loving adults

 go all out with costumes as well as the kids

It's not that often that grown-ups can let their inner child 

out and dress in full costume-   

 and a lot of them really do it up!

Are you a Halloween enthusiast?

  

After the party, the children go trick or treating around the neighborhood so we will be outfitted to hand out candy

 It's a lot of fun for the whole family

I am not dressed in a costume,

 but certainly in the spirit of the holiday

This dress is from Hell Bunny and I have had it,

 and one other similar dress for years

This one has skulls, roses and bats in the design

💀 🌹🦇

 and the other one has pink and violet flowers, and skulls

It is fun to get them out each year,

sometime during the Halloween season

 Of course I also wear most of the orange in my closet

 during the weeks leading up to Halloween, as well

I wear these dresses a little differently each year,

 by layering under and over them

This year I am wearing a white crop cardigan over the dress

 Hopefully, the weather will allow this to be my only over layer We'll see, the end of October

 can be very unpredictable weather wise,

but so far it looks like it will be temperate, in the 60's

For a bag I chose this red tooled leather clutch

 I like the color, it's different from much tooled leather,

as it is primarily done in natural tones of brown and tan

For jewelry I chose my black (nonpoisonous) spider hinged  bracelet and a kerchief style necklace that 

looks a bit like a spider web

 Also silver tone Angel wing earrings

Adding a few more accessories with a red satin hair scarf,

 and an usual black three buckle belt

Red low heel shiny patent leather Mary Jane sling backs

 to finish the look

I little Halloween fun-

The Devil himself has shown up on my blog!

Stand back!

Oh, it's just a costumed Roger

 I think it would be a mistake

to harm or spear this angel in a devil's costume!

Here are Roger's devil costume pieces

 Note the rhinestone horns-he is quite the ham!

Hope you have a fun Halloween week and celebration

A lot of people really go all out for this holiday

Whether you do or not, I hope you enjoy it!
