The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Orange
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.”

I am so excited that my dear friend Patrick of Adventures in Weseland is joining us this month with one of his favorite orange hoodies.
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.”

Kellyann of This Blonde’s Shopping Bag is looking radiant in her Good Buy orange pants.
“My orange pants that were definitely a good buy! Love them more than I ever thought I would and they pair so nicely with other colors!”

The dazzling Michelle of My Bijou Life shared a gorgeous Good Buy orange tie dyed dress. Be still my hippie heart.
“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!”

The incredibly stylish thrifting guru Michele of @seechele_styles shared a Good Buy tank top in coral.
The lovely Anne of Spy Girl has shared a Bad Buy orange paisley tunic. I want it.
“See how it’s sticking to me? Therein lies the problem!”

And finally my Good Buy orange booties.
“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!

Jodie, seriously, how do you NOT have orange boots?! They are all the rage, aren’t they? Haha. Actually, I have no idea if orange boots are a trending thing or not. But I do love mine! If you do get a pair, I need to know about it immediately. LOL Have a fabulous day, my friend!

Eva, thanks so much! I am thinking you might need to go try to get that orange satin fabric again! I think the color would look amazing on you! Some of the orange dresses that I added to my shopping links really caught my eye. I think an orange satin slip dress would be amazing!

Those boots are fab! Especially love them with the black and leopard print outfit. I have a lot of orange in my home decor, but not nearly enough in my wardrobe. Need to remedy that asap!

Theresa, thanks so much! I kind of think I need more orange in my life after this post as well!

Shoot, I got my photo in too late. Love me some orange and love everyone else’s orange. I went to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Go VOLS, go Big Orange!! You have to acquire a taste for orange while you are there.
Your orange booties are sunshine for the feet! Love them. Perfect in all 3 looks you shared but especially with the leopard! Thanks for sharing all of the shopping options for adding more orange to my closet. I would have thought I didn’t have much until I started looking deeper in preparation for this Good Buy/Good Bye post. I seem to wear quite a bit myself.
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Leslie, thanks so much! Orange is definitely a color that you need to acquire a taste for! But there are so many different shades that I think we can all find something that works for us. If you want to send me a photo now, I can certainly add it into the post now. It only takes me a minute to do, so completely up to you! I hope you are well and enjoying these lazy summer days!

This was fun to see! I used to not like orange, but it has grown on me, along with its cousin, Rust ( which is plentiful in my closet) Orange is great especially int he Fall as I like it worn with warm tones and browns. Love those booties you have on, and it is fun to see each ladies orange fav item.
thanks for linking

Jess, thanks so much! I didn’t realize how much I appreciate orange until we did this theme. I have way more rust in my wardrobe than true orange as well. And I am going through bags and bins of old clothes right now and have rediscovered some pretty fabulous rust and orange things! So great for fall!
