The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Periwinkle and Purple & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #266

March 15, 2022 / 48 Comments

Welcome to The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book!

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.

The theme for March is Periwinkle and Purple. 

*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.

Now let’s check out some of the favorite (or least favorite) periwinkle and purple pieces submitted this month by my perfectly personable pals. (I am an alliteration aficionado, by the way.)

“Like you can see on my blog, I’m loving purple a lot these days. I shared this look last week and I am so happy with it! Can’t wait to wear it with a white tee and white sneakers when it is a bit warmer! Wouldn’t that look great?”

“This very peri sweater is most definitely still in my closet so it was a Good Buy! I just love the color!”

“I love purple in my clothes; this lovely moto-style jacket is velvet and was purchased on consignment last year; the tights are very old, as are the boots. All different shades of purple, peri, whatever you want to call it. They’re all good buys!”

“I looked through my Purple tag on SpyGirl and discovered this gem. 2011. That time I looked like either a 60’s Palm Springs Swinger or a Psychedelic Wizard. And it’s an awful synthetic. Love the colors and print though. Goodbye caftan, to Poshmark you shall go.”

“This periwinkle top is another Poshmark purchase. Given the beading on it, I don’t have cause to wear it often, but I love it. And it goes great with this shawl that I made. So definitely a good buy.”

“I’m sending over my mom, Charlotte and Lesley’s outfits with purple. Funny how they both used scarves in their looks!!”

“I don’t often buy anything in this shade of blue, but I felt it looked nice on and dare I say quite suited me AND it really brightened my mood.”

“Even though I’m not a fashion blogger, I always feel welcome on [Shelbee’s] blog, and so I thought periwinkle is a theme I can do but of flowers instead of fashion. My flowers are the rosy kind, also known as Madagascar periwinkle and Cape periwinkle. They grow and multiply naturally in my garden. They also do well as cut flowers, lasting a super long time. I make little posies like the one below and put them around the house.”

And me!

“This little purple cropped jacket has proven to be versatile and fun. I found it on Target clearance a few years ago. Definitely a Good Buy!”
