The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-August 2018-Kimonos
Welcome to The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book! Welcome! This is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. Over a year ago, 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. For this series, you can choose…

Sun Shades and Kimonos Complete My Summer & Link Up On the Edge #99
If you don’t know by now, then you haven’t been paying attention…I am completely obsessed with kimonos. I have dozens hanging in my closet because I just can’t seem to get enough. Yes, that is a problem. Yes, that is too many. Yes, that can be perceived as greed or waste or hoarding. And yes, I own up to my obsession. But the fact remains that kimonos are just my thing. My signature piece perhaps. My favorite summer outfit formula is denim shorts, a tee shirt, and a kimono with some fabulous shoes. Sometimes with some not so fabulous shoes. And sometimes with no shoes at all. It is easy…

Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-All About Gingham
In just one week, Nancy and I will be posting the fourth edition of The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book and we would love for you all to join us! The theme for June is Gingham! Gingham is a timeless classic that is always popular in Spring and Summer. To me, gingham is sort of like an easy spring afternoon. Like a leisurely stroll through a flower garden. Like a nostalgic time that has long gone. Like a fresh, airy breeze. Like a genuine smile. Like a sincere compliment. Like uncomplicated innocence. Like sunshine. Like lemonade. Like spontaneity. Like purity. Like perfect ennui. Since both Nancy and I are huge fans of…
