The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Long Cardigans

Welcome to October’s Good Buy/Good-Bye Book featuring Long Cardigans. As we zoom through fall straight into the cold of winter, long cardigans are a great way to add cozy layers for extra warmth. Thank you to everyone who dressed up in their long cardigans and joined us for this round. We appreciate you!

The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book is 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.

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 get lost in the shuffle.

And Me!

granny square cardigan, Shelbee on the Edge — “I bought this granny square cardigan in Asheville on my 2022 road trip to North Carolina. It was a love at first sight kind of thing. As much as I adore this giant afghan coat, it really is one of the most impractical pieces in my wardrobe. The sleeves are too long and too wide so they become tedious if I need my hands for anything. The large open crochet pattern is very drafty in the cold but the sweater is too heavy when it’s warm. The neck tie closure doesn’t ever stay properly secured and the sweater catches on every sharp object I pass by. So it really wasn’t the greatest purchase I have ever made. But still I love it too much to ever tell it Good-Bye.”
-Shelbee
