The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Graphic Tees & Link Up On the Edge #132
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.
And now without further adieu, check out all the cute graphic tees that you have submitted…good buys and good-byes…they are all fun to see!
Let’s begin with my co-host, Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style, showing us her Good Buy Graphic Tee.
“Isn’t this just such a fabulous tee!?”
Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style
Next is Kellyann of This Blonde’s Shopping Bag with her Good Buy Graphic Tees.
“I am loving my graphic tees and think they are good buys!”

And now Chrissy of Granola and Grace also with a Good Buy Graphic Tee.
“There’s no telling how long the crazy for script on everything we own will continue, but I will embrace it for as long as I can (maybe even longer!). Here’s my favorite summertime tee.”
Chrissy of Granola and Grace
Next is Jodie of Jodie’s Touch of Style with another Good Buy Graphic Tee.
“Here’s one that I just love the message. It’s ‘Don’t act your age, own your age.’”

And now Michele of Seechele_Styles also with a Good Buy Graphic Tee.
“This tee is a Good Buy. I paid $5 for it from Five Below and paired it with a fun leopard cardi and thrifted black jeans.”
Michele of Seechele_Styles
Next is Betsy of Natty Gal with her Good Buy Graphic Tee.
“I like this graphic tee for it’s simplicity and the fact that it’s a conversation starter – a lot of people ask about the meaning of the phrase!”
Betsy of Natty Gal
And finally my Good Buy Graphic Tee (I shared a Good-Bye Graphic Tee on Nancy’s post so be sure to check that out as well).
“‘My coffee needs coffee’- This is one of my favorite ever graphic tees (absolutely a Good Buy) because it is the story of my life. This tee has appeared at least 3 times on my blog and I have worn it probably 2 dozen times and will continue to wear it many more times. Definitely worth the $10 I paid for it!”

And now hop on over to Nancy’s post to see some more fun Graphic Tees.
The theme for March will be Long Cardigans. So send us some of your favorite (or least favorite) long sweaters, whether you love or hate them, we’d love to see them!
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 March to shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com or to nancy@nancysfashionstyle.com.
*By joining The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book, you agree to receive a monthly reminder email for this series.
I know I usually share the featured favorite posts at this point, but as I sit down to write this part of the blog post my heart is much too heavy with grief. So instead I am going to simply ask for thoughts and prayers for my little community. There was a tragic house fire early yesterday morning in my neighborhood that claimed three lives including one of my 7 year old’s 2nd grade classmates and has left two other children in critical condition. The school district and the community have been wonderful in providing necessary resources for grief counseling for the children in the elementary school as well as their family members. It is a thing that one never anticipates having to discuss with their children, yet here I am having these very difficult conversations while trying to keep myself together. So please hold your loved ones tight, let them know you love them, and make sure you are diligent with your fire safety plans in your homes. I may go silent on the blog for a few days while we get through this process. Please keep sending positive healing energy to our small town.
With a broken heart on the edge,
Shelbee

Jodie, thank you so much! It is something we are never prepared for and I suspect I have a bit of journey ahead with my little guy. He is so strong and resilient, I am amazed by him. Yet he is so young and vulnerable and doesn’t quite get it all. Working through the process with him will be a teaching lesson for me, I’m sure.

Shelbee, what a week! Sending my thoughts and prayers to those little children and their family. This is such a terrible tragedy and something that you just don’t expect to happen. Sending positive vibes and hugs to you and yours. My coffee needs coffee today! Love your graphic tee and it’s such a fun one. Wishing you a happy Friday and a great weekend!

Maureen, thank you so much. It has definitely been a hell of a week. I am exhausted and my coffee definitely needs lots of coffee! The weekend is almost here and I am looking forward to some much needed rest. The kids are heading to Grandma’s for a few days next week which will be good for them as well. Grandma loving always works wonders for little kids with broken hearts.

I love all these tees! And I think graphic tees can be a real mood lifter when we need it. You know I love my long cardigans, not sure if I have one I regret, but I’ll try to remember to submit for next month…what fun!

Please feel free to send two so Nancy and I can each feature one on our posts. I have so many that it will be a challenge deciding which ones I want to feature. Have a wonderful weekend!

I Speak Fluent Sarcasm, This is absolutely me and I love the T-shirt! the design is unique and full of meaning! Having a sarcastic personality is a great asset; it helps you approach any situation with confidence and ease.
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Roseline, I love how you have articulated the sarcastic aspect of your personality! I, too, can be quite sarcastic. It is a good quality to have that definitely boosts confidence! Thanks for stopping by and checking out all of our fun graphic tees. Have a great weekend!

Susan
I love sarcasm! Almost snagged that tee, but instead I went with “I’m silently correcting your grammar”.
Great post, Shelbee, and great tees!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Gah, Susan, I have the “I’m Silently Correcting Your Grammar” tee as well! I just haven’t photographed it for the blog yet although I have worn it multiple times! One of my favorites!

What a terrible tragedy. I am sorry to hear about this. Hugs.
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thank you, Lorena. Slowly but surely, we are finding a normal. I do tear up though every time I drive past that house. And I just joined my son’s class on Monday to celebrate the little girl’s birthday. It was very emotional but we are moving forward the best we can.
