Welcome, October 31st, 2020. 

I wanted to kick off the new decade with a homage to the past. My husband and I envisioned looks that subtly nodded to the early 1900s and cast a hopeful view of the future. Our celebration was such fun!

I set my look by selecting a cute fascinator. The peacock feathers emanated the beauty of a day as I pose on our back porch. I had my lovely hairstylist, Shirlby Jones, shape my hair with finger waves. My makeup picked up the green and blue tones of the peacock fascinator. I created a daring smoky eye and finished with a fuchsia lip.

My jewelry sparkled in the afternoon sun as I mixed the classic sentiments of pearls layered by blue and clear crystals that hugged my neck. I would be remiss not to showcase my favorite decade amongst all the fun. I jazzed up this reboot with a few bracelets on each arm and fingertipped black lace gloves and unique rings. The fringed, low-hemmed dress allowed me to express my fun and sassy side, while the faux white fur shrug buffed the breezy chill of the late October afternoon. I strutted around in black stripped fishnet thigh-high stockings that my ivory garter belt kept in place while my two-toned white and black strapped short heels completed my look.

My husband joined the fun by wearing a gray fedora with a single peacock feather tucked nicely in the brim. A simple grey suit with a black cuffed dress shirt set a perfect canvas for him to take part in the fun. The cufflinks he sported were a gift from me, a pair of silver-toned Mjolnir. Thor, the God of Thunder, would be proud. He accessorized with a long white tie, white spenders and belt, and gray spats to cover his black dress shoes. For extra giggles, we brought out our walking staff to give the day an extra level of Halloween spirit!

We posed for some fun candid shots then made our way back inside for more Halloween celebrations. We watched the movie, ‘The Monster Squad’, and dined on a menu we curated. Peter recited a few poems from Edgar Allan Poe as we waited for the full moon to rise. The evening ended as we settled down to watch the night college football game. Overall, I must say a memorable day indeed!
