Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Tulle & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #221
It has been a super crazy busy weekend so I never managed to get around to doing any of my blogging things. So let me take this moment to remind you all that it is time again to send in your photos for the Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. This month we are looking for your favorite (or least favorite) things crafted from Tulle.
But before we get there, let’s first quickly examine the nature of tulle.
Tulle is a stiff, lightweight, netted fabric that can be made from various fibers such as polyester, rayon, silk, or nylon with polyester being the most common fiber used. Tulle is mostly used for veils, gowns, and ballet tutus. Its name comes from the French city of Tulle that was a popular center for lace and silk production in the 18th century.
Tulle is a readily available material that can be found in a huge variety of colors. It is also an easy fabric to dye at home for customized colors of your tulle garments.
If you would like to join us with your favorite (or least favorite) Tulle things, please send us your photos with a brief description by May 10, 2021. Please feel free to submit two different photos for features on my blog as well as Nancy’s.
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. You do not have to be a blogger to join. Anyone is welcome. 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 May by sending some photos and descriptions of your favorite Tulle pieces.
I do not have a lot of tulle in my wardrobe so I am going to save most of what I do have for the post on May 15th. But here is a quick look at two Tulle pieces that I do own…a black star printed dress and your basic black tulle midi skirt.

Reader Favorite (Most Clicked)
Pamela of Style Yourself Confident shared her post, 10 Steps to Look Polished and Well Groomed. It really is just getting back to basics but sometimes we need a little reminder of how important the basics are for building a strong foundation. Follow Pamela’s 10 steps and you will look polished and well groomed every day.
Fashion Favorite
Suzy of The Grey Brunette shared her post, The Fab 40s: Outfit Inspired by Water. I had so much fun styling my own water inspired outfit for this theme, but I absolutely adore how Suzy interpreted water into this beautiful silvery blue look. Well done, my friend.
Non-Fashion Favorite
Pam of A New Lens shared her post, Don’t Be Duped, discussing how our feelings of powerlessness over the past year can be shifted with a new perspective. It is definitely valuable food for thought.
Be sure to send us some photos to be featured this month. Just email your Tulle photos with a brief description to shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com or to info@nancysfashionstyle.com by May 10. You are welcome to submit more than one photo if you would like features on both of our blogs.

Think I’ve missed the boat for tulle now, but what a fun fabric to enjoy!
Thanks to everyone that made my post the most clicked last week. Back to basics reminds us that life is not nearly as complicated as we like to make it. I tell myself that constantly as I forget yet again something I learned only last week to make blogging easier!

Thanks so much, Pamela! Tulle is a really fun, statement making fabric but absolutely not for everyone. And definitely not a basic! Haha. I love this blogging community so much for all the things we share and remind each other about…because forgetfulness is a way of life for me!

Thanks so much, Ellie! It is definitely a more obscure fabric that we don’t wear everyday but I do love the flirtiness of a tulle skirt! I am excited to see the submissions as well this month. Have a wonderful day, my friend.

Hi Shelbee!
I like the fun and edgy style of the tulle with the combat boots! I don’t own any tulle, but did when I was 6 and was a ballerina for a short time! 🙂
Have a wonderful week!

I am thrilled to be showing off my tulle! I’m going to time my other tulle (my real dance tutu!) so that it’s around the time of the Good Buy/Goodbye Book post. Thanks for the push to try these prompts, Michelle – I’ve needed that to get my creative juices flowing.
I love your star tulle! It’s so pretty!
Thanks so much for the link-party!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Sheila, thank you so very much! I am glad that I could help with some gentle prompting. I love these challenges and prompts, too, because our creativity can get a little stale sometimes. It has been raining so much here lately that I have been completely uninspired and having a deadline to photograph something really does help me to at least keep myself in the creative game! I am looking forward to your tulle! Eeek. Yay!

Laura Bambrick
That is a fun theme! I don’t have any tulle in my closet. I can’t believe it!

Thanks, Laura! I can’t believe that you don’t have any tulle either! Maybe the round up post of all the tulle will inspire you!

Oh, Michelle, is was the best kind of crazy! I will have to call you soon and tell you all about it! I do believe you will appreciate the kind of crazy that it was. Haha.
I am looking forward to seeing all the tulle submissions that come my way as well! It should be a fun round up post. Have a fabulous day, my friend!
