Long cardigans-The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book

collage for The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book

I had a bunch of long cardigans in several carts, and didn’t buy any! What is that? I am fond of long cardigans in this season. I had a few in the Shein cart, and then decided that I don’t want to buy from that store. All that polyester freaks me out. Luckily I still have a few in my closet! And of course I bought a few short cardigans!

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: Long cardigans!

First my dear blogging friend and co-host Shelbee of Shelbee on the Edge

long cardigans
I didn’t love this cardigan when I first purchased it. I bought it because it was on super duper clearance and it’s really cozy and warm. After wearing it one time, I fell in love with its bold pattern and color pallette and now I wear it frequently during the cold season. Definitely a really Good Buy!

Here is a photo of a long cardigan that I actually wear as a dress sometimes. I love the colors in it and how warm it is.  I can’t wait to wear it again this winter!

Joanne of Slice of Life
long cardigan
I got this cardigan (of sorts) in one of my Stitch Fix boxes last year and I find I reach for it often. The open weave is fun and I love the higher slits on the side. The neutral color means it goes with just about everything. It has been such a good buy. Today I paired it with a light pink tee and some old jeans with my sandals.
blogger series
I’m sending a photo of Lesley’s long cardigan because she was telling me how much she loved it paired with a dress. Orange is a color that really transcends all seasons, right??
Di from Di-Alog
outfit by fashion blogger
This outfit features a long cardigan in an oversized plaid pattern, worn over a dress. It is definitely a cold weather piece, so I don’t  wear it a lot, but I still consider it a good buy. It is very warm and cozy and is versatile enough to wear in different ways, with pants, jeans, a skirt and even over a dress.
Gail from Is This Mutton?

I’ve got a Good Buy and a Good Bye.The Good Buy is the Long Cardigan Belted.  I had low expectations when I first saw this long grey cardigan from ASOS.  However, it became indispensable, mostly worn around the house.  It was just the right weight and length.  Unfortunately it was literally worn to death so I no longer have it.
And here is my long cardigan
summer dress worn in Autumn
This is a very Good Buy. It’s a cardigan I bought years ago at…..Primark. Can you believe that last that long? I love the splits on the side and the colour matches with the dress, there is navy in it, which is great because I can wear this summer dress a bit longer now!

November’s theme will be: Velvet!

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

    I have a couple long cardigans, but I hadn’t worn one yet, so I forgot to share this month. I love Shelbee’s and Marsha’s the most: so stunning! Long cardigans are so nice and cozy in the cool months.
