The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Asymmetrical
Welcome to 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.
The theme for August is Asymmetrical. Asymmetry in fashion generally manifests mostly in hemlines and sometimes in necklines. An asymmetrical hemline is one that is uneven on either the side or the bottom of the garment. Some examples of asymmetrical hemlines include handkerchief, high-low, shark-bite, shirttail, slant, and step hems. Asymmetrical necklines include one shoulder styles or some sort of uneven cut out designs. So let’s check out what you all shared!
*If you sent me a photo, but do not see it in my post, be sure to check Nancy’s post. If you don’t see your photo on either post, please let us know right away and we will add it. Sometimes the submissions can get lost in the shuffle.

Up Next for September: Denim Skirts
You are invited to join us in September to share your favorite (or least favorite) Denim Skirts. They can be short or long or midi length. Heck, you can even share a denim dress since the skirt part would still fit the theme! Remember, we are flexible with our rules and encourage you all to be creative and share whatever you think suits the monthly theme!
You are welcome to send two photos if you’d like to be featured on both blogs. Remember to include a brief description about your submissions. Please submit your photos and descriptions by the 10th of September to shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com or to info@nancysfashionstyle.com so we can put you in the spotlight.
*By joining The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book, you agree to receive a monthly reminder email for this series.
Keeping it on the edge,

I love all these outfits! Asymmetrical does make a outfit so much more interesting. And that tunic of yours is very special.

I agree with you, Nancy! I need to wear this tunic again. I don’t wear it often, but maybe I should.

I loved this prompt and I also loved seeing some of your older photos when your hair was so different.

So many different asymmetrical looks! I have a few (but they don’t fit right now). And, I’m on the lookout for the perfect midi or maxi denim skirt.

Thanks, Marsha. This was a really fun prompt that resulted in lots of interesting pieces! I love things that are a little uneven. It’s more real and more like me! I am definitely a little uneven. Haha.

I spent a good portion of my morning online trying to find a jean skirt for fall. Hopefully I’ll get one in in time for next month’s good bye book. I am loving all these asymmetrical looks so much

Oh yay! I hope your new jean skirt arrives in time, too, Joanne! I just dyed a white denim skirt that turned out really cool so I am hong to get that photographed in time for this as well! Thanks for joining us this month!
