The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Orange

July 15, 2020 / 32 Comments

Welcome to The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book!

Welcome! This is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. A series that I co-host 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 Orange. We have accepted submissions of all sorts of lovely orange apparel and accessory items, so let’s get right to it.

First is my wonderful co-host Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style sharing both Good Buy orange items and a not so great one in the same outfit.

“This was, I believe, one of the first times I wore orange. I love the mules and the hairband. The blouse was gifted to me, but I didn’t like it that much but there was orange in it!”

Next is the super stylish Lesley of Jodie’s Touch of Style sharing a Good Buy orange cardigan.

“I’m sending over a photo of Lesley, because I love how she paired her orange with a turquoise necklace.”

Next up is the lovely Laura of I do deClaire with a Good Buy orange embroidered top.

“This orange embroidered top was definitely a good buy. It’s great quality and the embroidery adds a special touch. I don’t typically go for orange, but I love this slightly muted shade especially for fall!”

Now we have the gorgeous Jacqui of Mummabstylish with her Good Buy orange moto jacket.

“The orange biker jacket is from Bonmarche and I’ve had it a couple of years now. I was drawn by the colour and although I don’t wear it that often it makes an outfit sing when I do!”

The stunning Mireille of Chez Mireille is sharing a beautiful bold orange gifted skirt.

“The skirt, my neighbor gave me. She bought it for a bridesmaid outfit but was the wrong color and I thought it was fun. Only have worn it twice so far.”

“Definitely a good buy! This dress is light & airy. Perfect for 110 degree summer temperatures. Plus, orange is my favorite warm color and there’s tie dye!”

And finally my Good Buy orange booties.

Original Post

“I bought these boots from Shoe Dazzle a few years ago because I loved the bold orange color. They call the color Picante. It has a tendency to appear red in certain photos, but the boots are a deep, rich shade of orange. Surprisingly, I wear these boots quite often for such a unique color.”

And now hop on over to Nancy’s post to see some more outfits featuring the color Orange.

The theme for August will be Metallics. This could include anything from clothing to accessories of all sorts. I think some of my favorite metallic things are shoes. But I may have a skirt or two with metallic details. Hopefully, you all have some fun metallic styles to share as well. 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 August to shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com or to nancy@nancysfashionstyle.com so we can put you in the spotlight!
