Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Summer Dresses
In just over two weeks, Nancy and I will be posting the seventh edition of The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book and we would love for you all to join us! The theme for September is Summer Dresses!

So won’t you join us for the September Good Buy/Good-Bye Book and show us your dresses styled for Summer. What is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book? It is a monthly series that Nancy and I will both publish on our blogs on the 15th of each month. Anyone who…

We seem to form these bonds on the level of shared interests and common passions.

The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-August 2018-Kimonos
Welcome to The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book! Welcome! This is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. Over a year ago, Nancy and I started The Bad Buy Book, a monthly series about our worst purchases. It was a lot of fun to do and we both learned something from it, too! Nancy learned that off-white against her face is not the most flattering color. And I learned that I have a serious problem resisting a good thrift shop find when it comes to pieces that fit “good enough” but “not quite right.” However, after running that series for a year, we decided to change it a bit. For this series, you can choose…
