I love slingbacks! I think they’re such an elegant and super feminine shoe. But styling them in a cold autumn month can be a challenge. Shall we see who dares to wear them?
Shelbee of Shelbee On the Edge and myself started this series in February 2018, but we had been working together a year previous. So you can say we really like to host these series! Every 15th of the month we show our Good Buy or Good-Bye item. And we want you to join us. The more the merrier!
What is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book?
It is a collage of outfits from all different women! You can choose yourself whether you want to show 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). We’ll keep buying a Bad Buy from now and then, you know, it was so cheap, you were in a hurry and really wanted(needed) to buy something etc.
But of course we also have those purchases that can make us so very happy. A piece of clothing that you have had for years and that you wear a lot. Or something you bought on a holiday, and every time you wear it you get that holiday feeling back. Every month you can choose which item you want to send in. A Good Buy or a Good-Bye. We will provide a theme for each month!
So let’s start with The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Slingbacks!
First my dear blogging friend and co-host Shelbee of Shelbee on the Edge
Marsha of Marsha in the Middle
These are my Rockport Cobb Hill Aubrey shoes. I also have them in a camel color because they’re so comfortable yet pretty!
Jodie of Jodie’s Touch of Style
Maybe I don’t wear them all the time, but they certainly have lasted.And I still love them.
And here are my slingbacks
Why on earth did I sell these? They were so comfortable and lovely. And although this photo is years old, I still love the look! I think I almost never wore these slingbacks. My feet did not look good in them. So these were a Good-Bye.
December’s theme will be: Wrap dresses!
Send your photo with a few sentences if it is a Good Buy or a Good-Bye and we will put you in the spotlights! Send it please before the 10th of each month to shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com or to batennancy@gmail.com
By joining The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book, you agree to receive a monthly reminder email for next month!
And now hop over to Shelbee’s blog to see what the other fashion bloggers are wearing!
This was a fun shoe specific theme for a shoe lover like myself! Thanks to everyone who joined us!

Thanks Shelbee!
I can’t remember ever having worn, much less owned a pair of slingbacks. I can’t even wear sandals. I immediately get blisters and become very whiny.
Still fun to see how they work for all of you! 🙂

Oh that is a pity Cat! Thanks for stopping by!
Nancy, thanks for co-hosting and including me in this fun challenge. I love sling back shoes! Yours are beautiful, so sorry you have sellers regret! All of the participants selections look great. I am looking forward to next month’s challenge, because I have a few wrap dresses in my closet! Hope you have a good weekend and week to come!

I am a fan of wrap dresses too! Especially the Diane von Furstenberg ones! Thanks Di.
Your feet did look good in those shoes, and it was fun to see the options everyone sent in.

For a moment I think….lol. Thanks for participating Jodie!
I’ve got a couple of pairs of slingbacks but they’ve been stashed away for autumn/winter …
I particularly love Marsha’s shoes, although I’m not sure they are actually slingbacks. That colour, though! xxx

Well it is Autumn Ann. Get them out! I love that colour too, very cool.
This was a fun prompt. I have always thought slingbacks were more like Jodie’s than mine. But, after seeing the shoes Shelbee had posted in her call-out, I thought I’d give it a try. I don’t know that I’ve ever had slingbacks like Jodie’s! I’ve already sent Shelbee a wrap dress, and just sent you one! Hopefully, I’ll remember that I’ve already done it when you send out the reminders!

Haha, I will remind you to that! Thanks Marsha!
These are so pretty but I can certainly understand how styling them this time of year in the colder weather would be tricky. I don’t own any slingbacks but I do like the look of them. I typically don’t wear much of anything with a heel or straps around my heels as they really bother my feet. I can’t wait to see what everyone shares for wrap dresses!
