Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Maxi Dresses

July is gone as fast as it came and now it’s time for August’s Good Buy/Good-Bye Book!

Won’t you join us for another edition of Good Buys and Good-Byes. For this month, we have decided to feature one of my favorite summer time garments…Maxi Dresses! According to the Wikipedia page on Dresses, the term maxi dress has been in use since the 1960s in reference to ankle length dresses that are usually informal. But a formal ankle length dress would also be considered a maxi except I think we generally call long formal dresses gowns. However, it appears that a gown can be anywhere from knee to ankle length. Let’s not get hung up on linguistics. Just send us your favorite (or least favorite) long dresses. The longer the dress, the more maxi it is!

What is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book?

The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book is a monthly series hosted by Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style and myself. Every month, we invite you to share a photo or two of your Good (or Bad) Buy items that fit the stated theme. We ask that you also provide a short description explaining if the item you are sharing was a Good Buy or one that you will be saying Good-Bye to (formerly known as Bad Buys). Nancy and I will both publish a round up post featuring all of the submissions on the 15th of each month. 

Remember anyone who would like to participate and be featured can send us their photos with a brief description via email. You do not have to be a blogger to join. You just need a camera and an email address! We will give you the theme for the next month at the conclusion of each post. 

Everyone is invited to join us in August to share your favorite (or least favorite) Maxi Dresses. All you have to do is snap a photo or two and email us with a short description by August 10, 2026, so you can be featured in our Good Buy/Good-Bye Book on August 15, 2026. 

I usually share a big round up of photos featuring the month’s topic but since I have too many maxi dresses to keep count of that would take too long for me to put together (and probably too long for you to read). Instead, I’m going to share one maxi dress from each year since I began blogging in 2015.

If you would like to play along for this round, please send your photos and descriptions to shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com or info@nancysfashionstyle.com. You are welcome to send two photos if you’d like to be featured on both blogs. And be sure to invite any friends who may want to join us as well. The more, the merrier. We love to see it all!

Keeping it on the edge,
