Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Inspired or Copy Cat Looks
On February 15, Nancy and I will be celebrating three years of our collaborative effort to share Good and Bad Buys. We first began with The Bad Buy Book on February 15, 2017, and ran that series for one year. On February 15, 2018, we introduced The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book so you could choose whether you wanted to share a good or a bad buy for the accompanying monthly theme. To celebrate our three years of coming together once a month with this fun series, Nancy and I have created copy cat looks of one another which will be shared in our post on February 15, 2020. We invite you to share with us…

The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Sweaters/Jumpers
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…

The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Lace
Welcome to The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book! Welcome! This is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. A while back, Nancy and I started The Bad Buy Book, a monthly series about our worst purchases. It was a lot of fun to do and we both learned something from it, too! Nancy learned that off-white against her face is not the most flattering color. And I learned that I have a serious problem resisting a good thrift shop find when it comes to pieces that fit “good enough” but “not quite right.” However, after running that series for a year, we decided to change it a bit.
