The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book

Introduction to The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book 

It’s been a year since 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 a year has passed, we decided to change the series a bit. The final Bad Buy Book post was one month ago today where we featured our worst purchases in the category of coats and jackets.

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 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.  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.

About The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book

You can choose yourself whether you want to show a Good Buy (which is an item you are really exited about) or a Good-Bye (which is an item you are going to say good-bye to). We will keep purchasing Bad Buys every now and then for a variety of reasons…it was so cheap, you were in a hurry and really wanted (needed) to buy something, it fit almost quite right.  But, of course, we also have those purchases that can make us so very happy. A piece of clothing that you have had for years and that you also wear a lot. Or something you bought on a holiday and every time you wear it you get that nostalgic holiday feeling back. Every month you can choose which item you want to submit. A Good Buy or a Good-Bye. We will provide the theme for each month. Photos should be submitted to us by the 10th of the month with a few sentences explaining why it is a Good Buy or Good-Bye.

You can email your submissions to shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com or to info@nancysfashionstyle.com.

The first episode of The Good Bye/Good-Buy Book will be on the 15th of March. The theme we wanted to start with is Shoes because that was the very first theme of our Bad Buy Book series when we showcased our Sitting Shoes!

We are very exited to start our new series and hope you will be joining us in the fun!

Much love, Shelbee & Nancy
