It All Began with Halloween & Your Own Twist Link Up #61
As I begin to wind down this Your Own Twist monthly collaboration, I am revisiting all of my past Halloween posts. We began this journey five years ago with Halloween costumes and have continued to share our costumes every October since. However, this year I have not had the opportunity to create my Halloween costume yet. We just returned home yesterday from a 5 day road trip to North Carolina and I have much catching up to do. I also have to make the kids’ costumes a priority over mine. I’ll find something fun inside my closet at the last minute, I’m sure.
Since I have not had a chance to figure out my costume for this year and because this is the final Halloween post for this series, I thought it might be fun to take a look back at my Halloween costumes from years past.

But wait! That’s not all. Let’s check out some other outfits that could be used for Halloween costumes.

About Your Own Twist
Your Own Twist is a monthly link party hosted by Monica of Monica Hayworth (formerly Jersey Girl, Texan Heart) and me on the third Thursday of every month with the goal of inspiring some of our friends to get creative with personal style.
The idea behind this collaboration is to take one common piece or theme and style it our own way with our own twist…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 or what kind of twist we will each bring to the chosen theme.
I will let you know the themes well in advance in the event that you would like to use the theme for your own post and add it to the link party. However, any fashion posts are welcome regardless of whether you used the theme or not. Be sure to check out our upcoming style prompts below. You can read details about each theme here.
Monica has been on an indefinite blogging hiatus and I am struggling to keep up with things. Unfortunately, I am going to retire this series at the end of the year. I have all the prompts scheduled through December if anyone wants to join until then. This post marks our fifth year and that’s a good long run for something like this. I am good with retiring at the end of 2023.

Gosh, I’m sorry you’re having to end this series, but it’s difficult trying to keep things going. Five years is a good long run. I can’t wait to hear about your trip this weekend! Thanks for the link party!

Thanks, Marsha! I am a little sad to let this series go, but it is just getting too difficult to keep up and I don’t get very much participation at all in this link party either. So I think that is a good indicator that it is time to let it go! I need to sift through all of my trip photos and get working on that post. Hopefully, I will have it done for next Friday’s link party post.

Thanks so much, Jill! I hope you have an amazing time at your annual Halloween party! We just realized that my husband has class on Halloween night so he will be missing the whole thing this year. We are so bummed. Like kids missing out on Halloween! Hahaha.

You have lots of cute costume ideas! I can’t remember the last time I dressed up for Halloween… I was never a huge fan of the holiday so unless we were going somewhere that required a costume I didn’t bother with one.

Thanks, Joanne! I never really enjoyed Halloween either until my kids and husband started getting really into it about 5 years ago. Now I love it!
