The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Beachwear/Resort Wear & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #288
Welcome to The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book!
This is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. A series that I co-host with Nancy where you can choose whether you want to share 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, previously known as a Bad Buy). 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.
The theme for August is Beachwear or Resort Wear. We asked you to share anything you would wear to the beach or to a summer resort vacation including your favorite (or least favorite) beach bags, sun hats, or other summer accessories. We have no rules here really, we just want you to play along!
*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.
Let’s see who played along this time!

I never used to think about comfort zones when I was younger – but that’s exactly what It’s all about!! Good feature Shelbee

Thanks so much, Pamela! I am always pushing myself outside of my comfort zone…or life itself keeps pushing me there. Either way, good things tend to happen when you get outside of that comfortable place.

I didn’t even think about using a straw hat but they are truly essential in the summer if you’re outside at all.
Thanks for the fun idea,

Thanks so much, Jodie! I always wear a sunhat when I am outdoors in the summer. They really are so practical and cute at the same time! I am so glad that you all could join us with your fabulous swim suit photo! You all look amazing!

Lots of great beach and resortwear! Love Rena’s pareo! I don’t got to the beach often but if I did it would surely be something I’d love to own and maybe I will get one for my next beach visit (whenever that may be!!) Also loving that turquoise dress on you! And a sun hat is a must!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thanks so much, Ellie! A pareo and a sunhat go a long way for a beach vacation, I think! I hope you get to the beach soon, my friend!
Christina Morley
I wish it was still vacation time here! Thanks for always spreading the kindness. Wishing you a lovely sunshiny week!

I know Nancy was so nervous to post a photo of herself in a bathing suit but she looks fabulous! These are all so much fun and so perfect for summer.

I always look forward to these posts, Shelbee! I need to get more organized and participate! Love seeing all of the contributors!

shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thanks so much, Marsha! I always use old recycled photos for this series because it is way easier than photographing something new. I don’t like really like to use new outfits anyway because I am not certain if they are Good Buys or Good-Byes until I have had the things for a while! Next up is eyelet! Do you have any eyelet already photographed? Send it my way!

It’s good to see so many body confident women sharing swimsuit pictures! And loving the rest of the beachy clothes. Just seeing a sun hat makes me remember happy summer days.

Thanks, Gail! This was a fun theme and I am loving all the body confident swim suit photos, too!

Your outfit is perfect for summer, and it’s nice to see so many great beach outfits and swimmers! I really need to get to the beach more often when the warmer weather starts to arrive back here soon.
Thank you for the link up! Hope you are having a good week 🙂

Thanks so much, Mica! I can’t believe how quickly summer has flown by and I have not worn a swim suit once! I hope you get some beautiful beach days when summer comes your way!

I loved seeIng everybody’s beach wear. I haven’t been to the beach or a pool for so long, I’d probably need to buy some things in order to go.

Thanks, Michelle! I have not been to a beach in decades and I think I went swimming in my neighbor’s pool twice last summer. I have not had a swim suit on my body at all this summer!
