The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Denim Jackets
Welcome to The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book!
Welcome! This is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. A series co-hosted 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). 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.
We are so excited to share this month’s theme of Denim Jackets. Denim jackets are a fantastic closet staple and ever so timeless. I have owned a denim jacket for as long as I can remember dating back to the early 1980’s. My jackets were much smaller back then as I was just a kid, but I was a kid who could rock a denim jacket, 80’s style. But this is not why we are so excited for this month’s theme. We are excited and so grateful for how many fabulous women joined us this month. I believe it is the most participation we have had since the beginning of this series. So thank you so much to everyone who submitted photos this month.
And now without further delay, let me share with you the Denim Jackets styled by this group of fantastic women. Also, remember to visit Nancy’s Fashion Style as well to see more denim jacket outfits! You are sure to find lots of fashion inspiration here.
First up is my lovely co-host, Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style looking fabulous in her Good Buy Denim Jacket featured in one her favorite photos!
“This is such a striking photo for me. A denim jacket with a leopard print scarf in a UK arcade! Love it! Don’t know why, but I almost always wear a leopard scarf with my denim jacket!”
Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style
Next is the super stylish Hilda of Over the Hilda sharing her Good Buy Denim Jacket paired with the prettiest summer maxi dress.
”Jacket bought in charity shop. Love a denim jacket in summer.”
Hilda of Over the Hilda
The fabulous Jodie of Jodie’s Touch of Style is sharing her favorite white Denim Jacket which is definitely a Good Buy.
”I adore my white denim jacket especially for the spring and summer. I have worn this so much that it’s getting dingy. I’m going to have to dye it one of these days and buy a new white one!!”
Jodie of Jodie’s Touch of Style
The very inspiring Sheila of Ephemera shared her super cool Good Buy vintage thrifted denim jacket.
”Dolce & Gabbana, likely late 90s, found it at a thrift store, new with tags – it’s missing a few studs. It was free on a “buy 2 get 1 free” deal. I’ve worn it 13 times, so it’s definitely a Good Buy! I love the dome studs, the ¾ sleeves and the pale blue colour…and the leopard lining.”
Sheila of Ephemera
Gorgeous Jacqui of Mummbstylish shared her favorite Good Buy Denim Jacket styled perfectly with a beautiful Spring dress…one of my favorite ways to wear a denim jacket.
”I adore my denim jacket and wear it so much when the weather is warm. I styled mine this year over a pretty floral dress for my Style not Age challenge and can’t wait to wear it again. It’s literally years old from a store called Peacocks, it always washes well and looks just like the day I bought it!”
Jacqui of Mummabstylish
The ever beautiful Rosemary of Distinctly Southern Style shared her Good Buy Denim Jacket in a timelessly classic style, rocking the double denim look.
“The fun iconic denim jean jacket is a workhorse staple and a delight in my wardrobe. Why? Because the style of this timeless classic jacket is so perfect for layering and adapting the changes in weather conditions.”
Rosemary of Distinctly Southern Style
The stunning Kellyann of This Blonde’s Shopping Bag is showcasing the versatility of her Good Buy Denim Jacket by styling it with both pants and a dress.
”I love to wear my denim jacket with everything! It works perfectly with pants, skirts, and dresses!”
Kellyann of This Blonde’s Shopping Bag
My beautiful friend, Mireille of Chez Mireille, is sharing her favorite Good Buy Denim Jacket.
“The light wash denim is my most expensive jacket. It is Kut from the Kloth. I have worn it enough times since I bought it to bring the cost per wear down and to make me feel good about the purchase. Just like my other jackets I have worn it with all kind of outfits!”
Mireille of Chez Mireille
And now is my wonderful friend, Rena of Fine Whatever, sharing her Good Buy striped denim jacket.
”Not all denim jackets need to be blue. This black and white railroad stripe jacket was a rare retail purchase and definitely a good buy.”
Rena of Fine Whatever
Next is the ever stylish Anne of Spy Girl who is always ready to share something very interesting to suit our themes with her Good Buy Elvis Denim Jacket.
“The Elvis (purchased circa 1983 in Pasadena at Die Laughing). A Good Buy!”
Anne of Spy Girl
And finally I am going to share two of my favorite Denim Jackets.
“I bought this Denim Jacket from Lane Bryant at least 15 years ago, maybe longer. I paid quite a bit of money for it back then, but I loved it that much. There is something special about the Sgt. Pepper vibe. Although I don’t wear it that often these days, it still makes its rounds into my outfits year after year. Definitely a Good Buy.”
Shelbee of Shelbee on the Edge
”This denim jacket is from Old Navy but I bought it second hand last spring. There is something about a pre-loved denim jacket that I simply cannot resist. I wear this one frequently so it is definitely a Good Buy.” (Stop by the blog tomorrow to see more details of this outfit with Monica for our monthly Your Own Twist Link Party.)

And now hop on over to Nancy’s post to see some more Denim Jackets styled by some very fashionable ladies!
The theme for May will be Pre-loved Items. So send us your favorite or least favorite thrifted or second hand pieces with a brief description of why you love them or hate them. This theme is wide open…you can share anything you’d like as long as it was owned by someone else before you! Even if it was a hand me down, that would still be considered pre-loved for this theme.
Send your photos with a few sentences describing your Good Buy or Good-Bye and we will put you in the spotlight! Please submit your photos with a brief description by the 10th of May to shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com or to nancy@nancysfashionstyle.com.

Thanks so much, Natalia! The classic denim jacket style hasn’t changed much over the years either, so they have some serious staying power, too.

So many great denim jackets! 🙂 I think a denim jacket is definitely a wardrobe staple, my oldest one is over 10 years old!
Hope that you are having a good week 🙂
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thank you, Mica! I have so many denim jackets and a few of them are definitely older than 10 years, but I also can’t resist a good thrift shop denim jacket so I have lots of newer to me ones that were pre-loved. I hope your week is going well!

Shelbee, you win with that fabulous Sgt Pepper style jacket. What a classic! And so many other wonderful looks and styles that everyone else is sporting. I don’t know how anyone could declare a denim jacket a “good bye”. Thanks for hosting this monthly series.

Thanks so much, Rena! I do love my Sgt. Pepper jacket, but I wish I had Anne’s Elvis jacket! I suppose the only time a denim jacket would be a bad buy would be if it was too small? I am so glad that you joined us this month! Hopefully, you have some fun pre-loved pieces to share next month.

Hilda Smith
Thank you Shelbee for featuring me. Denim jackets are so versatile and have become a staple in every wardrobe. I love how adding one to an outfit can change it entirely. I know you have an enviable collection xxx
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thank you so much, Hilda! I am so glad that you could join us. I absolutely love your outfit with the classic denim jacket. It is one of my favorite ways to style a denim jacket…with a gorgeous dress. And you rocked it!

Leslie Susan Clingan
This was such a great theme. Seems everyone has a good buy denim jacket!! I had one I loved in high school. Wish I had it back again now. Used to embroider all over my denim jackets…whole scenes!! They became wearable art, a lot like Anne’s great jackets.
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thanks so much, Leslie! I love that you embroidered your denim jackets! I have so many denim jackets that I have been contemplating how I could make one or two of them more like wearable art. But I have not come up with anything yet that I could successfully pull off. I hope your week is off to a great start!

What a fun post! I enjoyed seeing everybody’s denim jackets. Strangely, I don’t own one. I never have. I may need to rethink that! LOL!

Thank you, Michelle! I have so many denim jackets, it’s stupid! When stores are open again, you should look in the thrift or consignment shops for one. I have found the best ones preloved!
