Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Winter Coats & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #745

As winter is finally nearing its end in just three weeks, we decided to feature winter coats for this edition of The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. So before you put your cold weather coats away for the duration of the warmer seasons, let’s give those coats a big old round of applause for keeping us warm through this very long and cold winter season.

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 March to share your favorite (or least favorite) Winter Coats. 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 March 15, 2025.

As you probably already know, I live in a place that experiences winter temperatures and precipitation (i.e., lake effect snow, regular snow, and freezing rain) for about 8 months of the year. I have lived in this place for nearly 12 years and I have seen snow falling from the sky in every single month of the year except for July and August. They say that we have two seasons here…Winter and July. And that is not far from the truth.

As such, I have accumulated quite an extensive collection of winter outerwear. I really do love a fabulously warm statement-making top layer for venturing out into the wintry abyss. Also, coats are one of my favorite things to search for on thrifting adventures. I have scored some pretty amazing preloved coats for just a few dollars each from the abundant racks in my local thrift stores.

To inspire you to share your favorite (or least favorite) winter coats, here is a sampling of my coats, both thrifted and purchased new.

I am going to stop there because that is a lot of coats already. But I do actually have more. My entire cloffice is stuffed full of them!

If you would like to share your Winter Coats with us, please send your photos and descriptions to shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com or to info@nancysfashionstyle.com by the 10th of March so we can put you in the spotlight. You are welcome to send two photos if you’d like to be featured on both blogs.
