The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Slingback Shoes
November’s theme is Slingback Shoes. It is important to note the specific characteristic that qualifies a shoe as a slingback. Basically, a slingback has an ankle strap that crosses only the back and sides of the ankle and heel instead of the more traditional shoe straps that encircle the ankle all the way around. Slingbacks come in a variety of different shoe styles including a classic heeled shoe with a low vamp as well as sandals. They can be open toed or closed toed and have any variety of heel styles and heights from stiletto to block heels to kitten heels and even flats. Let’s take a look at the slingy shoes everyone has shared with us this month.
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.

I have always thought of sling backs as those Nancy is wearing. I’m glad you clarified so I could get in on the action.

That was exactly how I envisioned slingbacks as well until I decided to do a bit of research. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had many more slingbacks than I first thought! I am so very glad that you were able to get in on the slingback action this month, my friend!

Shelbee, thanks for including me in this challenge-I really love my slingbacks! There are some great looking shoes on all of the participants this month. Too bad Jodi’s aren’t comfortable to wear, because they are just adorable! Thanks for co-hosting this challenge, and hope you have a great week to come!

I know! That is the real fun of this series…seeing all the different interpretations and what makes something a good or a bad buy. Thanks so much for joining us, my friend. We appreciate you!

I was actually expecting a ton of slingbacks from you! Lol. I love this kind of shoe, they should be displayed!

I was surprised at my lack of slingback shoes, too. But I think it is a style that just doesn’t suit my personal aesthetic. This was still fun!

So many cute shoes! I looked all over but I had nothing even close to a slingback. I don’t have any wrap dresses either but I’ll enjoy seeing what others share.

Thanks, Joanne! Slingbacks and wrap dresses are definitely lacking in my wardrobe as well. Neither really suits my current style aesthetic. But I have a few in the archives that I can share!
