The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Lace

Welcome to The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book!

Welcome! This is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. A while back, 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 delay, let me share with you the Lace items that have been submitted this month. Also, remember to visit Nancy’s Fashion Style as well to see some more! Hopefully, you will find some styling inspiration from the fabulous ladies who have shared their personal stylings of lace.  

And let me start with my wonderful co-host, Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style, with her Good Buy lace top.

“I love this top! It can be worn with anything.I love it with some cool trousers too, to be seen soon on the blog!”

Next is the gorgeous Sonja of BeautySome with her Good Buy lacy pieces.

“I bought this top last month… it was a little bit torn, so I had to sew it. But no problem for only 6 euros! Even my hat is lace and the shoes I wear look like lace, don’t they?”

Now is my beautiful friend Ada of Elegance and Mommyhood with her Good Buy lace skirt and sassy bralette.

“The little lacy crochet ivory/ecru mini skirt is from H+M so it was a steal. I have had it for over 5 years and I love it. I even added more lace to the outfit with a peak of that infamous lacy bralette by Free People for which I paid full-price and even got two. Speaking of bralettes, you need a cute, well-made lacy bralette that fits you great. I would go for a black one if you only have to buy one. I have several.”

Next is the super sophisticated Hilda of Over the Hilda with her Good Buy Lace dress.

“For several years I have had this LK Bennet dress with lace on the front and sleeves and I love it because I can change the under slip for a different look.”

And finally, my Good Buy lace top.

“This black and white floral high-low top in lace is from Rosegal from 2 years ago for a sponsored post. But I still love this piece. I have worn it a few times other than just for a blog post. Which reminds me that I need to restyle it again soon. I think this is definitely a Good Buy and I will keep it in my wardrobe rotation.”
