The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Velvet & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #731

Welcome to November’s Good Buy/Good-Bye Book featuring Velvet. I love it. Nancy hates it. Considering the very small number of submissions this month, it seems like only a few folks are in the “love velvet” camp with me. It is a fabric that I have always adored and probably always will. I especially appreciate the luxuriousness of velvet during the holiday season. Thank you to all who have shared their velvet looks with us for this round. We appreciate you!

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.

“This green velvet top was a gifted item that I chose for myself for a brand collaboration over seven years ago. I fell in love with the color and the fabric but I actually hate the way the shirt fits me. I have worn it only two times in seven years but haven’t been able to say Good-Bye to it yet. I keep hoping I will love it better one day!”

“Since I shared a Good-Bye, I also wanted to share a Good Buy because I do love velvet so much. This tan dress with the green velvety flowers is my new favorite special occasion dress. I picked it up last year from Torrid and first wore it to Jeff’s work holiday party in December with my green velvet boots (another Good Buy!). This dress is proving to be really quite versatile and I love everything about it! Ooh, I wonder how the green velvet top would look as a topper for this dress???”
