Fashion Icon Halloween Costumes & Your Own Twist Link Up

October 18, 2018 / 41 Comments

Hey Jersey Girl, Texan Heart and Shelbee on the Edge readers! Monica and I decided to do a fun link up once a month (since we are both super crazy busy so why not add more projects to our calendars)! Every month we will host the Your Own Twist Link Up with the goal of inspiring some of our fashionista friends out there. The idea behind this collaboration is to take one common piece or theme and style it our own way…Monica and I have both taken a lot of fashion inspiration from one another over the past few years even though we have totally different styles. It is always fun to see how we can interpret similar items in unique ways. This first edition of Your Own Twist is going to be a little different from what we have planned going forward. For October, we chose a Halloween theme with the prompt being that we had to style a costume with things that we already had in our closets. We did not discuss what costumes we would be sharing and in the end we were both thinking fashion icons!

Monica went for a classic Audrey Hepburn look and she is rocking it!

I pulled out all of my best furry things and bold jewelry and layer upon layer of fashion stuffs to try to look like the fabulous Iris Apfel.

I did have to buy the glasses as I did not have anything nearly as iconic as Ms. Apfel’s spectacles. But I only paid $1 for mine. All I really needed to perfectly complete my look was a walking cane, but I just couldn’t seem to find one in time.

My husband and I seriously laughed so hard with me running around town dressed like this looking for a place to take photos. So ridiculous, but so much fun!

How did we do?! What costume ideas do you have in mind for this Halloween?


Want to join us in our upcoming themes for future Your Own Twist Link Ups? Just follow the prompts below. But remember, you can link up any fashion posts that you’d like. They do not need to fit the prompts. We hope you join us for some good old fashioned fashion fun!

Keeping it on the edge,
