The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Silk or Satin & Link Up On the Edge #171

November 15, 2019 / 42 Comments

Welcome to The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book!

Welcome! This is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. A series co-hosted 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). We will keep purchasing Bad Buys every now and then for a variety of reasons…it was so cheap, you were in a hurry and really wanted (needed) to buy something, it fit almost quite right. But, of course, we also have those purchases that can make us so very happy. A piece of clothing that you have had for years and that you also wear a lot. Or something you bought on a holiday and every time you wear it, you get that nostalgic holiday feeling back. 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.

And now without further delay, let me share with you the Silk or Satin items that have been submitted this month. Also, remember to visit Nancy’s Fashion Style as well to see some more silky styles! Hopefully, you will find some inspiration from the fabulous ladies who have shared their personal picks crafted from silk or satin.

Allow me to begin with my wonderful co-host, Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style, with her Good Buy Silk Skirt.

“I love this new silk satin skirt! I love to wear brown in Autumn but I never seem to find lovely items. This one is such a Good Buy!”

Nancy also shared a not so Good Buy Satin Skirt…

“I like this skirt a lot but I don’t know how to style it! It never looks good in my eyes. Perhaps a Good-Bye.”

Next is the stunning Jacqui of Mummbstylish sharing her Good Buy Silk Slip Dress.

“I bought this H & M dress to take on my daughter’s hen weekend. I adore wearing it and feel very confident when I do. It’s a size small which is a real bonus, and I have had lots of lovely compliments wearing it.”

And now we have beautiful Jodie of Jodie’s Touch of Style sharing her Good Buy Silk Blouse.

“I’m submitting my faux silk blouse for the post!! I always used to think that silk and silky tops were for dress up, but now I’ve decided I just need to wear them. Life’s too short to keep them waiting!!”

And now here are my Good Buy Satin items.

“I bought this satin corset about 5 or 6 years ago primarily for fun in the bedroom, but I have realized that it is also quite versatile for styling in a variety of different ways. I don’t wear it often, but it is still definitely a Good Buy.”

“I saw this Forever 21 satin kimono on another blogger last year and I absolutely had to have it. I am so glad I went for it because it is one of my all time favorite kimonos in my very extensive kimono collection. An absolute Good Buy!”

Gail of Is This Mutton? shared her wonderful, amazing, beautiful, gorgeous, and very extensive boot collection in her post, Crazy About Boots – And Link Up. And it seems you all liked her pretty footwear as much as I did. Shoe Addicts Unite! Plus how cute is this photo? I cannot lie…I have definitely snuggled up with my favorite shoes a time or two in the past!

My Favorite Fashion Posts

MouMous of LaMoumous is ever so striking in her post, The Orange Sweater Dress @Lilophia Boutique. If I could rock a sweater dress like Moumous does, I might be buying all the sweater dresses!

Laurie of Vanity and Me is super chic and elegant and utterly street style cool in her post, Perfect Timing – A Cosy Teddy Coat. I absolutely love the color of this furry coat and the coolness vibe of her jeans and white top outfit underneath it.

My Favorite Non-Fashion Post

Jess of Elegantly Dressed and Stylish is making great strides in raising awareness about a connective tissue disease from which she suffers in her post, My Condition – Ehlers Danlos Syndrome is in the Spotlight. I applaud Jess’s initiative in using her blogging platform to share her struggles and spread awareness about a disease that is known as one of the “chronic invisible diseases” which causes a lot of pain for those who are afflicted with it. A little known fact about Jess’s blog…she branded her blog Elegantly Dressed and Stylish using the same initials as her condition Ehlers Danlos Syndrome because blogging was a creative distraction from her pain and struggles.
