The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Camouflage & Link Up On the Edge #215
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.
This month’s theme is Camouflage. So let’s get right to it…
First up is my wonderful co-host Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style with her Good Buy Camouflage joggers.
“These joggers are a Good Buy! I only wore them in summer and spring with pink, but now I have styled it for fall! The quirky ankle boots are a perfect addition to the cool looking trousers!
Nancy
Next is the lovely Laura of I do deClaire with her Good Buy Camouflage pants.
“These camo pants were a good buy. They are comfortable and go with many different items. I’ve had them several years now and they aren’t going anywhere!”
Laura
Beautiful Mireille of Chez Mireille shared her Good Buy Camouflage jacket.
“I have several camo items in my closet and my favorite is this new camo jacket. A investment piece but worth it!”
Mireille
The super stylish Rena of Fine Whatever also shared her Good Buy Camouflage jacket.
“I like that colors of this camo jacket are on the muted side but IMHO, it’s the butterfly patches that make it really special.”
Rena
Next is the gorgeous Jodie of Jodie’s Touch of Style with her Good Buy Camouflage shorts.
“These shorts were a thrifted find, and I’ve worn the heck out of them. I wasn’t sure I’d like the print at first, so I didn’t want to spend a ton of money on it. Now, I know I need more!!”
Jodie
And then all three of the amazing ladies of Jodie’s Touch of Style, Jodie, Nancy, and Charlotte, are sharing how women of any age can rock out some fabulous Camouflage styles.
“ANY age can wear camo!”
Jodie
The gorgeous Ada of Elegance and Mommyhood shared her Good Buy Camouflage sweatshirt along with beautiful Vivian and her Camouflage jacket.
“I don’t own a lot of camo. As a matter of fact, this new sweatshirt by TARGET, is my first camouflage top. But I love it, such a great buy. I wore it this Wednesday on a mother+daughter date with my daughter Vivian. Her little camo jacket which has “Hello Sunshine” embroidered on the back is also an excellent buy, from Gymboree two years ago. So glad my mini me and I could participate today with our Good Buy’s. These adorable camo pieces make me want to add more camouflage in my life!”
Ada
And finally my Good Buy Camouflage bomber jacket…
“I snagged this camo bomber jacket from the Torrid clearance rack last year for less than $20. I wear it frequently in the spring and fall. It is proving to be quite a Good Buy.”
Shelbee
But wait, I cannot leave out Awesome Archie…
“I found this gray camo flannel hoodie at Target last year on clearance for $7. It is Archie’s absolute favorite layering piece. He wears it almost daily when the weather calls for a light weight jacket. Definitely a Good Buy.”
Shelbee
..and Radical Ralphie…
“Ralphie’s Camouflage shirt, pants, and boots were all handed down to him from Archie. Definitely Good Buys all around since both kids wore all 3 pieces to death.”
Shelbee
And now hop on over to Nancy’s post to see some more fabulous styles in Camouflage.
The theme for November will be Jeans. Remember to include a brief description letting us know if you are featuring a Good Buy or Good-Bye.
Please submit your photos and descriptions by the 10th of November to shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com or to nancy@nancysfashionstyle.com so we can put you in the spotlight!

I am finding that camouflage is a print that is either loved fanatically or hated passionately for civilian styling. Where do you stand when it comes to camouflage?

What a good collage photo you always create. You all pose the same way! I now appreciate my camouflage joggers more, just by being more creative with it!

Thanks, Nancy! I try to choose the collage photos that work best together. Haha. I am loving my new camo joggers that I wore for Monday’s Thrifty Six post! I was so glad to find them!

Thanks so much, Kellyann! I love seeing camo make this mini comeback. I have worn it for years, but it is nice when it gets trending again. I have found some major good deals on Torrid clearance. And my boys love camo as much as I do! Have a fabulous weekend!

So much camo goodness; I really need to jump on the band wagon and pick up something (anything!) with camo.
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
This camo kick has been lots of fun, Joanne! I have another camo outfit coming on Monday! I found the cutest camo joggers a few weeks ago at my local thrift shop and they were new with tags on. Such a great buy! I look forward to seeing what you end up with in camo. I think my favorite most versatile pieces are pants, sweatshirts, and jackets. Have a wonderful weekend, my friend.

Love your camo bomber Shelbee. You know how much I love camo, though I’m finally making room for new prints such as leopard, snakeskin and tie dye. Oh the fun we can have with these prints, right? By the way, I wanted to remind you of how fabulous you are. Don’t forget, ok?
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Chrissy, my dear friend, thank you so much! I actually did need that reminder today! Leopard, snakeskin, and tie dye are some more of my favorite things! I love leopard and camo together, but now I am thinking a camo and tie dye combo might be rather fabulous! So much fun with mixed prints, for sure. And may I also remind you of how amazing and wonderful and beautiful and kind and caring you are! Thanks for being an awesome human!

It is definitely having a moment, Cheryl! Maybe just add an accessory or a tee to decide if you like to wear it! Although I think you would totally rock a camo utility jacket. Have a great weekend!

I love that you included your boys too Shelbee. It’s amazing how we all love camo so much now. It goes to show that times change in fashion. And that’s a good thing.

Jodie, thank you so much! Every now and then, I get the boys to cooperate enough so I can get some decent pictures. Some of my favorite photos of them came from blog photo shoots that they wanted to be part of! And since camo is a gender neutral print, it is perfect to include the boys! Have a magnificent weekend, my friend!

I used to really hate camo, but I’ve warmed up to it in recent years ♥
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
I can see how that would happen, Tianna! It is not a print for everyone, but when you start seeing it everywhere, it grows on you! Have a wonderful weekend!

Camo is such a fun print! I didn’t like it before but definitely loving it these days. I am surprised at how well it styles with different colors like yellow. I do love it with black too. It makes it very edgy in my opinion. I hope all is well Shelbee and happy Friday!
Maureen | http://www.littlemisscasual.com

Maureen, thanks so much! I am loving all the different style options and print mixes with camouflage, too. But there is something cool and completely badass about camo with black. I hope you are well! Have a fabulous weekend.

Thanks so much, Jill! I am glad that camo is staying around for a bit, too! It is becoming a classic print, I think. Happy weekend!

Everyone in the world except me owns Camo. I guess I am the last holdout. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful weekend.
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Haha, I think many veterans don’t really want to wear camo of any sort upon leaving the military. I don’t think Jeff has much camo in his civilian wardrobe…maybe one pair of shorts. But I am making an assumption as to why you don’t wear camo, you might just hate the print, and that’s okay, too! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
