A new year of monthly fun starting with something new to show! As a theme I mean! Because a lot of women bought or were gifted something new. Of course it also can be something thrifted, because it will be new for you.
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: Something new to show!
First my dear blogging friend and co-host Shelbee of Shelbee on the Edge
I just got these amazing sparkly combat boots for Christmas and I love everything about them. They are so comfortable and the lug sole is perfect for our crazy snowy winters.

I was totally influenced by another influencer on Instagram to buy this sweater from Zara. I rarely pay full price for anything from the big stores, but I splurged for my birthday last month and this was the first time I wore it.

While I’ve been shopping my closet a lot more this past year than ever, I still love finding a good bargain – and it’s even better when it’s a plaid bargain!
I saw this plaid dress a few months ago while I was at the local designer consignment shop and tried it on. Meh. Not worth $38.00 for Zara, but when I popped in last week it was marked all the way down to $11.40!

And here is my new item
A trouser suit! A purple one! I love this, bought in sale at Zara and it is definitely a Good Buy! I will show you more of this suit soon on the blog.
February’s theme will be: Winter layering!
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!
That purple suit you got is gorgeous on you! I can’t wait to see more of it on you!

It is a great one isn’t it! Bought on sale!
Although I did buy something new new (as opposed to thrifted new), unfortunately it slipped my mind to take photos and participate. Lots of lovely new buys here, but my favourite is definitely your purple suit, which is absolutely fabulous.
I’ll have a think about February’s theme in the meantime! xxx

Haha, brainfog Sheila! I stood in my kitchen today and thought: I need to take my mask to the gym, I walked 10 metres to my closet and forgot my mask….
