We decided on doing band tees this month. That is actually two months two early. Because I only have two band tees and none of my number one favourite band The Cure!! But as we are going to a The Cure concert in November, I think it’s time to purchase one isn’t it? The link is my ode to Robert Smith, with a wink of course.
Shelbee of Shelbee On the Edge and myself started this series after we had hosted The Bad Buy Book for a year. Now we are ready for a new challenge! Every 15th of the month we show our Good Buy or Good-Bye item. And we want you to join!
What is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book about?
It is a collage of outfits! 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 will 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 also 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: Band tees!
First my dear blogging friend and co-host Shelbee of Shelbee on the Edge
I got this tank top on a date night with my husband 3 years ago when we saw Yonder Mountain String Band. It was an amazing show and a wonderful date night but this tank top never fit me properly so I rarely ever wear it. Not the best buy ever, that’s for sure! But it’s small enough to keep as a date night souvenir!

I didn’t have any band tees, so I borrowed this from my friend, Cathie, (@cathiescloset).
Sheila of Ephemera
This tee is a souvenir from a trip to Portland, Oregon in 2019 – Lydia Loveless opened for the Mountain Goats. It was a good buy, as I remember how much fun that trip was!
And here is my band tee
The Cure is, like I said, my number one band. But after that comes Siouxie and the Banshees. A punk band which sadly doesn’t perfome anymore. And sadly I never seen them live! Of course I had to style this tee the punk way! With a tulle skirt and fantastic punky boots! If you have never heard of the band, here is a link.
November’s theme will be: Work out gear!
And now hop over to Shelbee’s blog to see what the other fashion bloggers are wearing!
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!
I used to be a big Cure fan too Nancy. We must have grown up around the same time!! Those were the days I wore all black…hard to imagine, right? LOL

Haha, yes indeed! I got stuck in that time, lol.
Nancy, you definitely need to get yourself a Cure tee shirt when you see them next month! I love your Siouxie and the Banshees tee and this cool punk outfit! This was a fun theme!

I missed you though!
Hi! I loved the concept, the results of the outfits were excellent. Best wishes, Raquel

Thank you!
I’m sorry that the lack of band tee refrained me from participating this month. Surprisingly, having been a big Siouxsie fan back in the day, I never even had a Siouxsie band tee. And you must most definitely get a Cure one in November! xxx
Author
Yeah, it’s about time I bought one indeed! Do you still listen to Siouxie and the Banshees?
This is such a fun post idea! I’m a big band tee girl myself 🙂 x

Would have loved it if you had participated!
Bravo everyone!! I had to stop and think if I have any band tees and the answer is NO. Unless a graphic tee for John Denver counts. But he was a solo performer so not a band. Love how everyone styled their tee. I am a big fan of graphic tees and sweatshirts paired with skirts or dressed up a bit with a blazer. Fun post.
Author
Oh of course John Denver counts! Would have loved to see you in that one Leslie!
I could have styled up at least 20 more band tees, all purchased at concerts! Loved seeing all the fun ones here!
I will likely not be participating in the “althleisure” look next month…but then again, I’ve been buying sporty pieces for ages – it would be fun to try to make a sporty look for the theme.
Thanks so much, Nancy!

You are so creative, you can mame it work!
The Cure and Siouxsie & The Banshees/The Creatures were favorites of mine back in the day! I still listen to their songs. You definitely channeled that 80s punk vibe in your outfit!

I do too, almost every day! Thanks Sally!
