Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Sneakers & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #634
Nancy and I are kicking off the New Year by inviting you all to share your favorite (or least favorite) Sneakers with us for the first Good Buy/Good-Bye Book installment of 2023.
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.
Anyone who would like to participate and be featured can send us their photos with a short description via email. You do not have to be a blogger to join. Anyone is welcome! We will give you the theme for the next month at the conclusion of each post. Photos will be due to us by the 10th of the month.
So won’t you please join us for January by sending some photos and descriptions of your favorite (or least favorite) Sneakers to shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com or to info@nancysfashionstyle.com by January 10, 2023. You are welcome to submit more than one photo if you would like features on both of our blogs.
Sneakers is kind of a broad term used to refer to athletic style footwear which may also be called trainers, athletic shoes, tennis shoes, gym shoes, kicks, sport shoes, flats, running shoes, or runners. Initially, sneakers were footwear designed specifically for sports or other athletic activities or physical exercise. In today’s vast world of fashion trends, sneakers also come in the form of fashion footwear that appears similar to athletic footwear but you might not do anything more than just walk in them. So however you define sneakers, you are welcome to share yours with us. They might be your favorite old worn out running shoes or customized Converse you wore for your wedding. Whichever you choose, put your best sneaker clad foot forward and step into the new year in style!
Let’s see some of my past sneaker stylings…

That is literally every time I have worn sneakers on my blog and I had a grand ole time scrolling back through seven years of photos even though it took me half a day to browse through almost 1,700 blog posts! In fact, this post is the 1,699th post at Shelbee on the Edge. That’s a lot of outfits shared and even more words written. But tell me…how do you style your sneakers?

I have too much of everything, Marsha! Even sneakers which I hardly ever wear. I need to do a shoe clean out soon but it’s so hard to part with footwear! I hope you have a lovely weekend, my friend.

Thanks so much, Jennifer! They are super cute and comfortable but I really don’t wear sneakers very often so I should probably get rid of some pairs! I hope you have a wonderful weekend, my friend!

Thanks for the link up!

Oh, send us a few of your favorite pairs, Mica! I actually don’t wear sneakers very often at all. I definitely do not need as many pairs as I own! I hope you have a beautiful weekend, my friend!

What a fun time travel with your sneaker collection documentation all the way back to 2015! A lot has changed in 7 years. Thanks so much for the favorite feature this week, and all the great content and link up parties throughout 2022. Hope you and your family have a happy and healthy new year!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thanks so much, Di! I really appreciate you! I love doing these monthly reminder posts for The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book because it is so fun to scroll back through all the years of my outfits. So much has definitely changed since I began this blog! I hope you have a fabulous new year, my friend!

Thanks for the reminder! You have had so many fun pairs of sneakers! My favorite are the psychedelic checkerboard Vans in Back to Work Styles. I bet you’re not surprised. 😀

Thanks, Michelle! I think my checkerboard Vans are probably my favorite, too. But I do love all of my Converse as well. The white ones with red flowers seem to be the most popular favorite though!

Hi Shelbee and Happy New Year!
I should be able to get this together for next time. You have alot of sneakers! and I forgot about your short hair! I have acquired a few pair this last year myself. I have been trying to donate a pair of shoes I havent worn, when I get a new pair or two-
Have a wonderful weekend!

I will be there for next week’s linkup, just dealing with lots of doc appts and health issues.
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Hi Jess! Thanks so much! I definitely need to clean out my shoe collection. I have so many that I just don’t wear anymore. I sometimes forget about my short hair, too! I love going back to see old photos though even though they are so cringey! I haven’t been commenting much in blogland lately either because of a super busy schedule so I totally understand. Take care of yourself first, my friend!

WOW! So many sneakers.. I had just written on Nancy’s reminder page the other day that I have 2 pairs! LOL.. I did make sure to wear them this week and take pictures (which I’m planning to send to you both tomorrow).
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thanks, Joanne! I do have a lot of sneakers but I only have two that are athletic shoes for working out. I have had the same two pairs for years because I rarely wear shoes for working out. I am barefoot yoga girl! Haha.
