The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Sheer

May 13, 2023 / 14 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 May is Sheer, which means anything that you can see through including lace, gauze, chiffon, georgette, muslin, organdy, organza, mesh, fishnet, tulle, and even that clear plastic stuff used for umbrellas and rain coats. We have received a fun variety of all sorts of sheer things so let’s get to it!

*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.

“This one is also a throwback from 8 years ago, read on my blog why. I loved this bomber kind of jacket. But it was so poorly made that it ripped after wearing it once. I saw a similar one recently but I can’t remember where, menopause brain, but a sheer jacket is so pretty! It is elegant like here on a dress, but cool on combat trousers. I certainly want to buy another one. But this was a Good-Bye.”

“This month’s category is right up my alley! I love sheer/chiffon tops for spring and summer. This top I’m sharing today has been a favorite for a few years now. I love that the sleeves are sheer and the whole shirt has a sheer overlay. I’ve worn it in fall, spring, and summer and it has been a great buy!”

“I actually layered a blue lace shirt under my one-shoulder velvet top. I thought it was a creative way to wear the one-shoulder top when it was still colder outside. It’s definitely a good buy since one of my friends gave it to me and I love styling it in fun ways like this.”

Jamie, a reader
“The sheer clothing trend is about showing as much (or as little) skin as you want. I love this topic because my style this spring is in. I wear leggings a lot and probably more than I should but I never go commando in leggings because some over the years can become very sheer.”

“Sheer & me? Not two peas in a pot. But you know, until the right one comes along. And along came this lovely sage green blouse and with it’s subtle nod to sheerness. And we have been inseparable ever since.”
-Sabina

Sheer black tulle dress, Shelbee on the Edge
“I love this little black dress with a sheer tulle overlay, however, it is probably not the best buy ever. I have had it for 5 years and I only wore it once. But it is still in my closet waiting to be worn again!”
-Shelbee
