The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Formal Wear
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). 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 Formal Wear or fancy dresses and other outfits suited for a dressier type event. Let’s get right to it.
First is my lovely co-host Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style sharing her gorgeous satin slip dress.
“I love silk and satin. It feels so good and this burned orange dress is no exception. I had no where to go, but to dress up can make you feel so good!”

Next up is Sheila of Ephemera sharing her beautiful fancy floral dress.
“I’m wearing my new bought maxi dress to the park to meet up with friends (a Park Party)!”

Check out Laura of I do deClaire sharing a lovely two piece outfit suitable for any dressy event.
”This floral skirt is definitely a Good Buy! I’ve worn it multiple times in many different ways on the blog and off of it. Skirts can be formal wear, too! This was an outfit I wore to a family member’s wedding a few years ago.”

Michele of @seechele_styles is sharing a lovely bold dress in red. You can always make such a lovely statement in a little red dress.
“My good buy. I love this bright colored dress that was handmade for me.”

Next is Lesley of Jodie’s Touch of Style featuring her gorgeous polka dot circle skirt.
“I’m sending Lesley’s photo that she wore for our Fancy Schmantzy post this last fall. She bought this skirt and had never worn it, so it was fun to pull it out and see how it made her feel so special.”
Jodie of Jodie’s Touch of Style
Kathrine of Kathrine Eldridge Wardrobe Stylist is sharing a magnificent floral dress.
“Here is the pic of one of my favorite dresses for a formal event. My husband got this for me for my birthday last year. The mix of feminine and edge is just my style.”

And finally a few of my favorite fancy dresses.
“I bought this little red dress at Kohl’s on 90% off clearance a few years ago. It cost me $11. And it was totally worth it. I pull this dress out often for fancy events.”

“I scored this dress for just a few dollars at a local consignment shop. I have only worn it once for a photo shoot, but I do love it and hope to have an event to wear it to someday.”

And now hop on over to Nancy’s post to see some more Formal Wear and Fancy Outfits styled by some other fabulously stylish ladies.
The theme for July will be Orange. Simply that…the color Orange. So go searching for your orange items and send us some photos! This is going to be a difficult theme for me as orange is not a color that I choose often. 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 July to shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com or to nancy@nancysfashionstyle.com so we can put you in the spotlight!

I agree, Nancy! Thanks for all the work that you put into this series! This was a super fun theme. I am going to struggle with the orange theme though. It is not a color that I wear often.
