The Good Buy/Good-Bye Bookis a monthly series hosted by Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style and myself. Every month, we invite you to share a photo or two of your Good (or Bad) Buy items that fit the stated theme. We ask that you also provide a short description explaining if the item you are sharing was a Good Buy or one that you will be saying Good-Bye to (formerly known as Bad Buys). Nancy and I will both publish a round up post featuring all of the submissions on the 15th of each month.
Anyone who would like to participate and be featured can send us their photos with a short description via email. You do not have to be a blogger to join. Anyone is welcome! We will give you the theme for the next month at the conclusion of each post. Photos will be due to us by the 10th of the month.
We went in a different direction for January’s post-holiday theme by inviting you to share your favorite (or least favorite) gifts that you have either received or given to someone for a special holiday occasion. It could be a gift given or received for Christmas, Hanukkah, Easter, or Valentine’s Day, a birthday, engagement, wedding, or anniversary, or any other occasion that you deem a holiday!
Thank you to everyone who joined us this month. If you sent me a photo, but do not see it in my post, be sure to check Nancy’s post. If you don’t see your photo in either post, please let us know right away and we will add it. Sometimes the submissions can get lost in the shuffle.
You are invited to join us in February to share your favorite (or least favorite) Western Boots. I am thinking cowgirl boots, but any western style boots or shoes will do. Remember you can interpret these themes in whatever ways that suit you. If the shoe fits, share it! Anything will do, we just like to see what you’ve got.
You are welcome to send two photos if you’d like to be featured on both blogs. Remember to include a brief description about your submissions. Please submit your photos and descriptions by the 10th of February to shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com or to info@nancysfashionstyle.com so we can put you in the spotlight.

I am a midlife woman, wife, and stay-at-home mother of 2 boys and 2 cats. I have a passion for helping other women feel fabulous in the midst of this crazy, beautiful life.
Oh my gosh, Crocs really are so hideous! But have you put your feet inside of them ever? They are incredibly comfortable. I simply cannot get over it. They have even replaced my Furkenstocks as my go-to house shoes! But my ‘Stocks will continue to be my outside shoes. I doubt I will ever go in public in these crazy plastic shoes. We have added Peach Fuzz to our list and I love the idea of eyewear. I will pass that on to Nancy, but I think she will like it, too. Thanks for all the suggestions!
Oh my, that’s really horrible my friend! Lol. Years ago I was stunned by the fact that there was a crocs store! Awful! But everyone else…….. thanks for joining! Lol.
I have never tried Crocs either but they do seem to be quite popular. My middle son got some shoes that look a lot like crocs but without the holes through a kitchen supply company because so many of his culinary friends just loved theirs and now I find he wears them all the time; says they are his comfiest shoes!
Weren’t Crocs originally intended to be non-slip shoes for kitchens and hospitals and such? I have to go look that up now! Ha. Nope. I was wrong! Maybe I am just remembering Mario Batali wearing them all the time and thought they were chef shoes because of that. I love that your son wears his kitchen shoes all the time!

Fun!
Marsha’s family photo is my fave.
I still think Crocs are too hideous to grace my feet. Haha.
You were asking for Good Buy/Goodbye ideas and I thought of something this morning: Glasses/Sunglasses!

Thanks, Anne! We have several photos from that day, but this one is my favorite!
I have yet to try Crocs. My oldest wears them almost all summer.

The Crocs might be ugly but the comfort level far surpasses their ugliness! Thanks for joining us, my friend!
