Wide legged trousers-The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book

collage photo for The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book

Wide legged trousers is this month’s theme. On trend, especially the denim versions. I never wore wide legged trousers because didn’t like how they looked on me. But since I tried the one I am wearing in this post, I am all for them! Let’s see who else love to wear wide legged trousers!

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: Wide legged trousers!

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

wide legged trousers

I absolutely loved the minty color and the floral print of these wide leg trousers from Shein. But gosh, the fabric was absolutely hideous and basically unwearable. I didn’t say Good-Bye to them, however. Instead, I chopped them up and added the pretty floral bits to my In the Garden Rag Curtain. And I never bought another thing from Shein either. Too gross.

 

Mireille of Chez Mireille

I love wide leg pants in the summer so have have several lightweight pairs. This is a new addition this year: the print is so fun and the leg really wide!

I’ve had these flower wide leg jeans for at least 5 years now and I still adore them. They are much better for our AZ weather since they are lightweight.

summer look

I just bought this new wide leg pants on Amazon and wore them to a comedy show and dinner over Labor Day weekend here in the states. WOW! I can already tell these are going to be such a great buy! I LOVE them. The fabric is so soft and the colors are so fun with lots of shades of blue and green and white. I paired it with a flowy teal top, some silver jewelry and my flip flops. I felt so comfy and yet felt like I looked nice and dressed up.

I bought this co-ord for a hen weekend and loved the whole vibe. It’s the perfect outfit for summer holidays, bbq’s or a lunch date. Think it will work well in Autumn too.
It’s previous season from New Look.

And here are my wide legged trousers

As I had a vacation I didn’t have time to shoot new photo’s. So this is one of the archives. These are my first wide legged trousers and I loved them a lot! I never wore wide legged trousers before, they don’t really look that good on me. It also isn’t my colour at all, but these trousers were so good. I worn them until they got ugly! A very Good Buy.

October’s theme will be: Long cardigans!

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 just love wide legged pants! I’ve been admiring Mireille’s pair ever since she showcased them on her blog; it’s such a fun summer print.

    I do love a pair of wide-legged trousers and there are definitely some here which I wouldn’t mind having in my wardrobe. In fact, I do have a couple of these myself, but unfortunately due to lack of time – since I was on holiday – prevented me from participating. Must do better next time … xxx

      Haha, and it shocked me this weekend when I suddenly thought: Didn’t Ann submit with wide legged trousers? But I couldn’t find any proof at all, so thought that it must be my brain. You see, I did think of you!

    I don’t know why you think they don’t look good on you. It’s all what you’re used to. It takes our eyes time to adjust to a new silhouette because as your friend, let me tell you, you’re wrong. They look good on you,
