The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: December 2018-Winter Accessories

This is not a sponsored post.

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 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). 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.

Let’s begin with my co-host, Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style, showing us her Good Buy gloves.

“I adore these gloves. Leather with a bow and stitched. They are old and I have to buy new ones because these are not warm anymore. I want exactly the same!”

Here is Michele of Seechele_Styles with her Good Buy scarf.

“I thrifted this scarf and it is definitely a good buy because it goes with so much.”

Next is Carmela of Bellissimamma with her Good Buy headband.

“This knitted sparkly headband which I bought from a Christmas market in Siena, Italy is a good buy. The little rhinestones make me feel happy and bright, and the neutral gray band goes well with many of my outfits.”

And now we have Hilda of Over the Hilda with her Good Buy scarf.

“This mustard scarf I bought in Primark…it’s really cosy and perfect with all the cold weather we have had recently. A keeper.”

And now my Good Buy gloves.

“I love these pretty blush pink gloves with the big bow. I got them on clearance last year from Torrid and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that they are also tech friendly gloves and I can operate my cell phone touchscreen with them on! Plus they are wicked cute and dramatic. I feel very Hollywood when I wear them!”

And now hop over to Nancy’s page to see all the other lovely women wearing their Winter accessories!

The theme for January will be Coats. So send us some of your favorite (or least favorite) coats…fuzzy, furry, suede, wool, leather, plaid, polka dot, striped, puffy, or rain coats. Any coat at all will do!
