The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Sunshine & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #696
Bring on the sunshine, please! We have been oscillating between winter weather and spring weather for weeks with warm temperatures for a few days followed by snowy days and back to warm again. Like a great big nasty tease, this weather is. In an effort to get the sunshine to stay for longer than just a few days, we have invited you all to share your favorite (or least favorite) sunshiny things this month.
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.
For February, we are featuring my favorite footwear, Western Boots! Otherwise known as cowboy boots, but I’m a girl so I call them cowgirl boots when they are on my feet.
Thank you to everyone who joined us this 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 can get lost in the shuffle.

Up Next for April: Peach Fuzz!
Thank you to Anne for suggesting this next prompt, Pantone‘s color of the year for 2024.
In seeking a hue that echoes our innate yearning for closeness and connection, we chose a color radiant with warmth and modern elegance. A shade that resonates with compassion, offers a tactile embrace, and effortlessly bridges the youthful with the timeless.”
-Leatrice Eiseman
Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute™
You are invited to join us in April to share your favorite (or least favorite) things in Peach Fuzz! It doesn’t have to exactly match the prompt, remember you can interpret these themes in whatever ways that suit you. So if it looks like Peach Fuzz to you, share it with us! Anything will do, we just like to see what you’ve got.
You are welcome to send two photos if you’d like to be featured on both blogs. Remember to include a brief description about your submissions. Please submit your photos and descriptions by the 10th of April to shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com or to info@nancysfashionstyle.com so we can put you in the spotlight.
*By joining The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book, you agree to receive a monthly reminder email for this series.

That brightens the day! To see all these happy outfits! I sat in the sun yesterday, and totally loving it.

We have had beautiful weather the past two days, but there is snow forecasted for Monday again. Ugh. I am so ready for the sunshine and warm temperatures! Have a lovely weekend, my friend.

I am a denim all the time kind of woman, but seeing all the outfits is quite fun! Thanks for hosting and letting me share with your readers! Have a great week ahead, take care. Melynda @scratchmadefood!

Thanks so much, Melynda! There’s nothing wrong with denim all the time if that’s what you love! I do love a big ole dose of some style inspiration myself to help me break out of any sartorial funk I may be experiencing! I hope you have a most wonderful weekend, my friend!

Here I was just admiring Laura’s yellow dress and then I find out she got rid of it. She looked so cute in it! I love the yellow cardigan you purchased Shelbee and all the ways you styled it. It looks so you! Thanks for the party!

Thanks so much, Amy! It made me laugh that Laura got rid of her yellow dress just like I did. They are both such pretty dresses! But if you don’t love it, then I say ditch it, so I ditched mine! LOL Have a wonderful weekend, my friend.

I fell like I had a dress in that print and color at some point! I really love different shades of yellow and feel like they are perfect year round but especially spring and summer.

Thanks, Mireille! This post really boosted my spirits with all the bright sunshiny colors! And the bright yellows really make me smile. My yellow dress reminds me a lot of your gorgeous yellow floral skirt! I should have kept the dress and turned it into a skirt or something. But I didn’t know how to do that stuff when I ditched it! LOL Have a lovely weekend, my friend!

Love your yellow floral dress! You look sunshiny and ready for spring. All of the ladies look great in their chosen outfits, this post is like a dopamine hit! Thanks for hosting and sharing and have a good weekend!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
It really is like a dopamine hit, isn’t it?! I love all the bright colors that everyone shared to get in the mood for spring. Not that I needed any help getting in the mood. I am so ready for spring! Thanks so much for joining us, my friend! Have a lovely weekend.

How funny both you and Laura basically had the same print but you both gave it away. Send it to me next time, I just loved them both, LOL
And Di’s outfit was something I just adored too.

That totally cracked me up, too, Jodie! I wish I had kept my yellow dress because I could certainly do something else with it now! I loved the print and color so much but I never found the style all that flattering on me. I really loved all the bright yellows that showed up for this challenge. Thanks so much for joining us!

So many pretty sunshiney outfits! Thank you so much for featuring my sister in law’s art show post.

Thanks for joining us, Joanne! Your sister-in-law’s art work is absolutely amazing!

So many cute looks…it’s funny how some people get rid of things we really like. But, you shouldn’t keep something just because, right?
Thanks for the link up!

I agree, Marsha! I still need to get in my ole closet room and clean some stuff out. There really is a tremendous amount of things in there that I just don’t wear and I keep them because what if I need them for a style challenge! So silly. I need to purge!

Me, too! I didn’t used to like it as much but I have really been drawn to yellows and oranges these past few years.
