Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Halloween & Link Up On the Edge #264

October 1 is the official start of Halloween season in my house. However, we haven’t yet pulled out all of the spooky porch decor. That is our plan for this weekend…shopping for new scary porch things and then creating our best front porch gory creep-ville to date. I never really got into the Halloween spirit until a few years ago when my kids began to show a certain passion for this holiday and now I can’t be stopped! I am having so much fun embracing the Halloween vibe…on my porch and in my closet. So for October’s Good Buy/Good-Bye Book theme, Nancy and I have chosen Halloween. That can mean Halloween costumes or just Halloween themed clothing. Heck, if you just want to share your Halloween decor with us, you are welcome to do that, too. Just come join us for some silly spooktastic fun this month!

“On Halloween you get to become anything that you want to be.”

What is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book?

It is a monthly series that Nancy and I both publish on our blogs on the 15th of each month. Anyone who would like to participate and be featured can send us their photos with a short description explaining if the item was a Good Buy or one that you will be saying Good-Bye to. You do not have to be a blogger to join. Anyone is welcome. We will give you the theme for the next month in each post. Photos will be due to us by the 10th of the month. So please join us for October by sending some photos and descriptions of your favorite (or least favorite) Halloween styles to shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com or to info@nancysfashionstyle.com by October 10, 2021. You are welcome to submit more than one photo if you would like features on both of our blogs.  

*By joining The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book, you agree to receive a monthly email reminders.

Now let is take a walk through Halloweens past here on the edge to see what kind of inspiration can be stirred up. I will also share some other outfits that would work as costumes as well.

Are you getting in the Halloween spirit? Do you like to dress up for the holiday? I play dress up on a daily basis so I could really turn most any outfit into a Halloween costume if I really wanted!

Keeping it on the edge,
