My husband works at a university only a few streets away from our little home. Today, Charlie and I wandered over to meet him for an on-campus Halloween event, and as I did, I observed dozens of students wearing a variety of attire.
The only problem was, to be totally honest, there were a few individuals whose getup was such that I couldn't tell if they were dressed up for Halloween...or, simply, dressed.
So this Halloween was a bit different for me, because unless someone was very obviously Baymax or the Queen of Hearts or Han Solo, I wasn't sure whether to compliment them on their costume... or not?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that the iconic fashion of the 20s, 80s, 50s, you name it--those decades had their "looks." I remember once a woman in my mother's senior yearbook who had straight blonde locks. In '88 that was a rarity, every other photograph of a young lady hosted a huge heap of hair, and it was striking to see her picture.
But now it's 2018, and while there are a few styles that are characteristic of this decade (namely what my husband would call "hipster hair" or "the business school student look," and of course the gaudy floral prints that I love), it really feels like anything goes.
