Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Jeans & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #195
It is almost time again for the next edition of The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book and we would love for you all to join us! For November, Nancy and I have chosen a fairly easy theme for you all. This month we want to see your Jeans! Any kind of denim pants will do for this theme from skinnies to bell bottoms to straight legged and cropped. Boyfriend, girlfriend, black, white, blue, gray, or any other color that you may prefer in your denim. Send us your photos and be featured alongside some of the most stylish bloggers in all of blogland!
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. 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 November by sending us some photos of your favorite (or least favorite) Jeans with a brief description as to why you love or hate them!
Now I know you all have at least one pair of jeans, so I am hoping to see piles or submissions this month! Remember anyone can play along. You don’t have to be a blogger and you certainly do not have to be a woman. Men and children are also welcomed to participate! Show us your denim favorites as well as your denim fails!
Let me share a bit of denim inspiration from my enormous collection of jeans…these are my jeans outfits from the past year. I have so many more but I will spare you!

I am going to stop there because there are just too many to share in one post. In case you haven’t noticed, I do have a bit of a denim addiction. But then again, I have an addiction to basically anything fashion related. What are your favorite denim styles to wear?
Featured Favorites
Reader Favorite (Most Clicked)
Dee of Grammy’s Grid shared her thought provoking post, Would You? 11 (Trump/Pence vs. Biden/Harris). While political debates almost always end up in ugliness, I do love how polite the comments remained in Dee’s post. And it was super interesting to read the reasons that lead voters to make their choices. I do have to admit that I didn’t really play by the rules on this one…because I simply cannot choose either of those candidates. But it was definitely fun and interesting to read through the comments.
Fashion Favorites
Nora of Jacket Society shared her post, Fall Trend Alert Camouflage Prints. Camouflage is having a huge moment in fashion right now and I am absolutely dying over Nora’s gorgeous camo scarf. I am loving the neutral color palette in her outfit as well.
Non-Fashion Favorite
Jennifer of Curated by Jennifer shared a very helpful and inspiring post, A Beginner’s Guide to Zero Waste. While I am certainly not as good as I can be when it comes to living a greener lifestyle, I do try my best. And it is posts like these that provide a wealth of information and tips to help me on my journey to minimizing my impact on the planet.
If you would like to participate in this month’s Good Buy/Good-Bye Book and be featured on our blogs, just email your photos with a brief description to shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com or to nancy@nancysfashionstyle.com by November 10. You are welcome to submit more than one item if you would like features on both of our blogs.

This post definitely makes me realize I need more variation of jeans! Majority of mine our skinny but I do own a couple others like cropped flair. I do have a pair of boyfriend jeans too but they are currently in the donate pile. The waist is way too low for my liking.

Jennifer, thanks for stopping by! I am such a crazy denim addict that it is making me giggle a little bit that so many of you only have a few pairs of jeans! I just put about a dozen pairs on Poshmark and I have dozens and dozens more!

Your denim collection is awesome, you just can’t go wrong! I could not pick a pair of favorites if I had to – they all look fantastic! Love the photo with Radical Ralphie – so cute!

Thanks so much, Mireille! I have so much denim, it’s ridiculous! But I can’t stop myself when I see cute jeans. I am looking forward to seeing all the fun denim styles submitted this month! Thanks for sending yours in!

I know it’s one of the simpler outfits, but every time I see that fox sweater, I get happy. It’s really fun. Thanks for always hosting a great blog hop!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Aw, Tina, thanks so much! It is a really fun sweater! I have so many jeans and sweaters that I may be able to create unique outfits every day for the rest of my life! I hope you have a great week.

You look so good in all your jeans! I have to say that these are the hardest pieces for me to style up- not crazy about jeans!! But let’s see if I can find a decent enough pic of me in a pair to send you:) xx
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Lucy, thank you so much! I actually didn’t even own a pair of jeans until I was in my late 20’s. I hated jeans before that. And now I am an addict! I hope you can join us this month! That will be fun!

Thank you so much for the feature Shelbee! You look fab in all the looks, I especially like that pink and black look with the polkadot coat and hear sweater, so cute!

Nora, thank you so much! Ooh, that is a fun outfit…I liked that one a lot, too!

SO many cute looks and styles! I finally wore jeans (well, jeggings) this week for the first time in a month. It felt rather nice to be back in “real” pants again.
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thank you, Joanne! I am so happy to hear that you are progressing nicely post-surgery. Getting back to regular clothes is always exciting!

Such a great variety of jeans, Shelbee! You have an amazing collection. Lately I have been wearing a lot of distressed jeans. Thanks for hosting and have a great week!

I know that sweatpants and athleisure are winning right now, but I will always be a denim girl. Love all these looks, but I’m biased toward the one that I inspired 😉

Thanks, Cheryl! I am with you all the way…I much prefer denim over leggings (as I am sitting here in my leggings…lol). I have dozens of pairs of jeans and maybe only 5 pairs of leggings!

Carrie @ Curly Crafty Mom
I LOOOOVE denim!! Even more than leggings, is that weird? Lol! I have been wanting a pair of boyfriend jeans, but I can never find any that look right on me. You have styled your boyfriend jeans soooo many different ways, which may help me while I continue to find the perfect pair. It helps to have some ideas on how I’d style them with what I have in my closet. Thanks!
Carrie

shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Carrie, thanks so much! Boyfriend jeans are probably my favorite because I do like the more relaxed comfy style. But I think they are probably the hardest style to find the right fit because they are more relaxed. My very favorite boyfriend jeans ever are from Old Navy. I got them years and years ago and the denim is super soft and lightweight and they have a button fly. Old Navy hasn’t carried button fly jeans since I bought those. I hope you find your perfect pair and I look forward to seeing how you style them.

I love your featured posts this week, Shelbee. Fashion and politics–you just can’t go wrong! Lol! You look super hot in all your jean outfits, my friend!! I had to laugh when you said we all had to have at least ONE pair of jeans. I’m afraid to count the crazy collection that takes up a fourth of my closet! Yikes! My goal is to send you a photo for the Good Buy post this month. I have good intentions that never quite make it.
xx Darlene
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Aw, Darlene, thanks so much! Politics and Fashion! Now that would be an interesting blog theme, too. Haha. I have an insane collection of jeans, too. It is kind of overkill but each pair has a purpose! But there are lots of people who only have one or two pairs! I would never survive. I al so happy you will be joining us this month! Send us two photos if you have them so both Nancy and I can feature you!
xoxo

Laura Bambrick
Jeans is a great theme! And they can be so good…or not! Haha! You have a fantastic collection of denim!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thanks, Laura! This is only a fraction of my denim collection. It’s bad, really bad, my denim addiction!

Chrissy Rowden
So many fabulous pairs of jeans, Shelbee! From distressed to flare, you’ve got it going on. I love how you bring you creative game and use it to your colder region. Layering the tights under your distressed is so cute!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Chrissy, thanks so much! I do love my denim and I have a very difficult time resisting cute styles. I do need to go through all my jeans though and organize them. It is getting hard to find stuff in my closet mess!
