The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Sandals
Sandals. The essential summer shoe choice. As we are experiencing record high temperatures all around the world this summer, our tootsies need a little breathing room! Thanks to everyone who has shared their summer sandals with us for this edition of The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book.
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.
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.

Up Next for August: Maxi Dresses
According to the Wikipedia page on Dresses, the term maxi dress has been in use since the 1960s in reference to ankle length dresses that are usually informal. But a formal ankle length dress would also be considered a maxi except I think we generally call long formal dresses gowns. However, it appears that a gown can be anywhere from knee to ankle length. But let’s not get hung up on linguistics. Just send us your favorite (or least favorite) long dresses. The longer the dress, the more maxi it is!
If you would like to join us for this round, all you have to do is take a photo or two and email them to us with a brief description about why your maxi dress is a Good Buy or a Good-Bye. You are welcome to submit two photos if you’d like to be featured on both blogs. Please email your photos and descriptions by the 10th of August to shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com or to info@nancysfashionstyle.com so we can add you to The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. And be sure to stop back on August 15, 2026, to see what everyone shares.
*By joining The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book, you agree to receive a monthly reminder email for this series.
Keeping it on the edge,

Fabulous shoes, the sandal. I love the variety of colours and design!

This was a fun round up! I wish I had more time for sandals wearing, but it’ll be boot weather here before I know it!

I just love seeing everyone’s sandals! I would happily wear them year round… though I too have found that I no longer really wear any sort of substantial heel.

This was fun. I am so glad that you joined us! I have minimized my sandal collection. We only get about 8-10 weeks of sandal weather here so I don’t need so many of them. My boot collection far surpasses my sandal collection!

I love sandals, too, but we only get like 8-10 weeks of sandal weather here so I don’t have as many sandals as I do boots. Thanks for joining us again this month. Maxi dresses make up the biggest majority of closet! If you have 20, then I probably have 120! Hahaha.

And since moving to northern New York, my sandal collection has decreased! But my boot collection has exploded. LOL Thanks for joining, my friend.
