A very summery theme, shorts! But I have to be honnest, I don’t wear them in public. I am not a huge fan of trousers, give me a skirt and I am a happy girl. And shorts feel like trousers that have to be finished yet. Do I make sense? No of course not. Anywayssss, I’ll bet there are numerous women who look damn good in shorts.
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: Shorts!
First my dear blogging friend and co-host Shelbee of Shelbee on the Edge
I picked up these darling little denim overall shorts at my local consignment shop a few years ago. I thought they were super cute but ended up only wearing them once because they are totally impractical and not very comfortable at all. I recently said Good-Bye to them when I passed them onto my niece. She will rock them, for sure!

This is my only pair of bermuda and when I style them right, I love them!
Jodie of Jodie’s Touch of Style
It’s shocking to me how many times I wear shorts now that I’m “of a certain age”, haha.
This red lacy pair is one of my faves from Goodwill. They are short, but the shape looks more like a skirt to me.
And once I decided to embrace my imperfect legs, I found more variety in my looks.
Joanne of Slices of Life
I love these linen shorts from Old Navy so much! They cost me less than $10 and I have had them for several summers now. They have been such a good buy. They are nice and cool in the summer and seem to go with everything I own.
And here are my shorts
I don’t wear shorts anywhere then at home. Or only when it is superhot and we go cycling. But this is how it looks like. With simple slippers and a simple tee, no accessories, but very comfortable.
I love these shorts. They are 4 years old and the colour isn’t what it originally was anymore. But I love the asymmetric front and the deep pockets. Definitely a very Good Buy!
August’s theme will be: Different shades of blue!
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!
Oh Nancy, you just made me laugh when you said shorts feel like trousers that haven’t been finished yet! I do like all the different styles of shorts that everyone shared. Jodie’s red lacy ones are so darn cute!

And Jodie’s green ones!! Haha, I am glad I did that!
Your pair is such a neat pair! I did just buy 4 pairs of shorts last week when I went thrifting: I was looking for prints and got some fun ones. So now I am wearing shorts more even though I still think they are not the best if I am going to be in and out of the car and will stick and burn myself on the seats, lol!

Haha, yes indeed! I do a lot on the bicycle, so don’t have that problem!
Your shorts with the asymmetrical front are super cool. I’d buy those in a second!

You look so good in shorts! I really like that asymmetrical front.

Thank you very much Joanne, and for particiating!
Very interesting pieces here. The shorts I love are more dressier like for winter. But I have always loved a great dress or trousers. https://www.bauchlefashion.com/2024/07/5-ways-choosing-colour-can-refresh-your.html

I love skirts and dresses better then shorts or trousers too. Thanks Heather.
I haven’t worn shorts in years, and I don’t think I’ve even got a pair. I’ve got a playsuit which I wear at home when the weather’s really hot. Yours are lovely and pretty unusual! xxx

I am not a fan either. Thanks Ann!
Great looks and all good buys, ladies 🤩
