Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Slingback Shoes

November’s theme is Slingback Shoes. It is important to note the specific characteristic that qualifies a shoe as a slingback so you can see if you have something to share with us this month. Basically, a slingback has an ankle strap that crosses only the back and sides of the ankle and heel instead of the more traditional shoe straps that encircle the ankle all the way around. Slingbacks come in a variety of different shoe styles including a classic heeled shoe with a low vamp as well as sandals. They can be open toed or closed toed and have any variety of heel styles and heights from stiletto to block heels to kitten heels and even flats. So take a quick peek at your strappy shoes for the characteristic sling that encircles just the side and back of the ankle. If you have some, send us a photo!

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 November to share your favorite (or least favorite) Slingback Shoes. All you have to do is snap a photo or two and email us with a short description so you can be featured in our Good Buy/Good-Bye Book on November 15, 2025.
