I adore a wrap dress! Ever since I was interested in fashion and clothes. I think that started around age ten. Although even as a toddler, I absolutely wanted patent leather shoes…. I was enchanted by Diane von Furstenberg and her beautiful designs. So it’s great that we’re using this as a theme now! I’m curious what we are about to see.
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: Wrap dresses!
First my dear blogging friend and co-host Shelbee of Shelbee on the Edge

Here’s my wrap dress, and I’ve shown it worn for all 4 seasons on my blog. The photo is the summer version and it’s definitely a good buy.

This may not, technically, be a wrap dress, but I did have to wrap the front part over and then tie the other front part together so I didn’t show anything I didn’t want anyone to see…hahaha!!
Di of Di-alog
And here is my wrapdress
This one I bought in Lewes, where I also bought my most favourite wrapdress. (that was what I remembered……..it was not from Lewes as you can read in the link) Diane von Furstenberg, both, pre loved. Fantastic fit, fabulous design. I loved these dresses so much. Had them for years until they were worn out. Absolutely Good Buys!
We would really love it if more women participated in our series! Please join us next month, because without you there are no series! And it is lovely to appreciate and promote each other. Thanks!
January’s theme will be: Leggings
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!
You know it’s a good buy when you wear it so much you wear it out. Love the look, Nancy.

Indeed Jodie! I have that with shoes and boots more then with clothing!
I totally forgot about this month’s theme! I have several wrap dresses that I enjoy wearing, my favorites are the maxi length.

Haha, and me not! Thanks love!
I’ve sort of gone off wrap dresses lately, but still have a couple of them in my wardrobe.
Yours is fantastic and it looks amazing on you! xxx

Thank you very much Ann!
I love the look of a wrap dress, but I have never had much success in finding one that covered sufficiently for those windy days! I will have to look for photos of leggings which I love!

Thanks Marsha!
I have one wrap dress in my closet that I have had for years. I bought it at a local boutique that has since closed, but it is one of my favorite dresses. Everyone looks beautiful, but I have to say, your dress is my favorite!

Thank you very much Caroline!
I don’t think I have ever worn a wrap dress; I’ve tried them on a time or two but just don’t like the style on me. Leggings, however, are my jam so I’ll be sharing some photos for the next round up.

Looking forward to see them!
