Sheer!-The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book

sheer collage

It’s sheer that you see(through)! Yeah I ate some funny cookies this morning……Sheer is our theme for this month! A very on trend theme as we see mesh dresses and sheer tops everywhere. So let’s take a look at who joined us this month!

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: sheer!

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

 

sheer blue skirt

I bought this sheer blue maxi skirt at my local consignment shop about  years ago. It was just a few dollars and I have worn it both dressy and casual over the years. Definitely a good buy!

sheer mint green top

I found this beautiful green off the shoulder top on Amazon several years ago and I just love it. Everything from the sheer bell sleeves to the sheer back and lined front and all the little ruffle and Swiss dot details is perfect. It has been such a good buy because I wear it all the time.
sheer top in pink
I bought this sheer top from Zara’s website about 5 years ago. I love the idea of it, but I can’t say I’ve worn it much. Therefore, I pulled it out recently and found a great way to style it over this white dress.
Would I call it a good buy?? I’m certainly not ready to say good-bye, so maybe!!

sheer leggings
Thanks for the invite and I really like this topic as this spring the fashion is sheer clothing. I love these leggings with the sheer mesh panels these really show off my legs. I call these a GOOD BUY and I have just ordered another pair.

pink floral trousers
This pink sheer sweater was a good buy. I like it with shorts or to use as a swim cover up!

You encouraged me to submit a photo for the Good Buy/Good Bye link-up!
In this recent photo from my blog, I am wearing a sheer white lace topper that turned out to be a very good buy. I have had it for a few years, and although I don’t wear it often, it is a piece I turn to when I want to dress an outfit up-especially for spring and summer special occasions.

And here is my sheer item

sheer crochet dress

This one is a throwback from 8 years ago. Because I have only got one sheer item at the moment, this one. This is a crochet dress and I loved it with those leopard print leggings underneath. But it’s not me, I don’t like to wear neutrals(and navy and black aren’t neutrals to me……just saying….) So it was a Good-Bye. Now crochet is a trend again, isn’t it every spring/summer, and I am loving all those 70s feel crochet tops!

June’s theme will be: Pearls!

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

    Those leggings are awesome. Aren’t they fun? Such inspiring ideas, that is one reason why I love this monthly post. Thank you. xo Sabina

    I loved seeing all these sheer items of clothing styled in different ways. I’m not sure if I’ve got anything sheer in my wardrobe, so once again I was unable to contribute. Next time, perhaps? xxx

    I don’t have anything very sheer except a pair of leggings similar to Laura’s! Love Shelbee’s blue dress and your crochet dress.

    This is a good theme, but I didn’t get my sh*t together in time to join. We’ll see how I do with pearls. At least I have some!
