Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Kimonos

August 2, 2018 / 18 Comments

In just two weeks, Nancy and I will be posting the sixth edition of The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book and we would love for you all to join us! The theme for August is Kimonos! You all know how much I love a good kimono.  Any kimono, really, it doesn’t even have to be all that good. If it is a kimono, I will wear it!  And I would love to see all of your kimonos, too. So won’t you join us for the August Good Buy/Good-Bye Book and show us your favorite kimonos styled for summer or any season that you choose…they do after all provide the perfect topper for four season wear!

What is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book?

It is a monthly series that Nancy and I will 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 August by sending us some photos of your favorite (or least favorite) kimonos with a brief description as to why you love or hate it!

You can choose yourself whether you want to show a Good Buy (which is an item you are really exited about) or a Good-Bye (which is an item you are going to say good-bye to). We will keep purchasing Bad Buys every now and then for a variety of reasons…it was so cheap, you were in a hurry and really wanted (needed) to buy something, it fit almost quite right.  But, of course, we also have those purchases that can make us so very happy. A piece of clothing or accessory that you have had for years and that you also wear a lot. Or something you bought on a holiday and every time you wear it you get that nostalgic holiday feeling back. Every month you can choose which item you want to submit. A Good Buy or a Good-Bye. We will provide the theme for each month. Photos should be submitted to us by the 10th of the month with a few sentences explaining why it is a Good Buy or Good-Bye.

I honestly do not even know which kimonos I am going to share yet.  I just went through old blog posts and counted 26 posts featuring different kimonos (and I probably missed some)! Check out a few of these old ones!

You can email your submissions to shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com or to nancy@nancysfashionstyle.com.

The next edition of The Good Bye/Good-Buy Book featuring your kimonos will be on the 15th of August.  So please send us your photos soon!

We are very exited and hope you will be joining us in the fun!

Much love,

Shelbee & Nancy
