The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Pearls & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #656

June 16, 2023 / 18 Comments
Welcome to The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book!

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.

The theme for June is Pearls. From jewelry to clothing to shoes and handbags, you can find pearls adorning many different fashion items. We have a beautiful array of pearly submissions 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 on either post, please let us know right away and we will add it. Sometimes the submissions can get lost in the shuffle.

“As I mentioned on my own blog, I don’t like pearls at all. This is as much as I ever wore. But I really loved this necklace. Had it for so long and wore it so often, until the fluffy white cat got yellow. That was the time to say Good-Bye to it. But it was a Good Buy!”

“One of my favorite pearl accessories is the pearl studded headbands I bought. You can’t really tell but I paired the headband with a pair of pearl drop earrings that I just love and have probably had since high school. Both have been great buys!”

“I found this HUGE  pearl necklace thrifting and figured it would make even this housedress-like outfit look special. Considering the necklace was only $5, it’s definitely a good buy.”

“This pearl embellished black sweater was definitely a good buy. I love that it is an elevated basic piece and so cozy. I wear it a lot in the winter.”

“I absolutely love wearing pearls, which I think is in the southern US DNA. I bought this double strand pearl necklace for myself as a birthday present in 2013 ($69 at Macy’s on sale) and it is definitely a good buy! I have worn it 58 times for a current cost per wear of $1.19. One of the strands has come loose, however, so I have a bit of pearl necklace surgery in my future so I can wear it again.”

“Pearls make me think of my favorite style icones Audrey Hepburn and Jackie O. That being said I never really liked them. Or I felt they did not suit me. Taking pity on them I decided I needed to come up with a way to wear them that would work for me which is modern and edgy.”
-Sabina
And Me!
“I have been collecting pearl jewelry, both real and fake, since I was a teenager. I have found some of my favorite strands of pearls in thrift shops. Over the years I have probably broken just as many pearl necklaces as I still own but I consider each and every one of them a Good Buy!”
-Shelbee
