Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Faux Fur

On December 15, Nancy and I will be posting the next edition of The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book and we would love for you all to join us! It is that time again to share some of your favorite and least favorite items for December’s Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. This month we are featuring all things Faux Fur. Whether it be jackets, vests, scarves, collars, handbags, or trims on boots or gloves, we want to see your favorite (or least favorite) furry pieces. They could be plush or fuzzy or looking like real fur or even real fur if you want (although that is not the most politically correct thing to be wearing these days). The cozy warm feel of furry things is a perfect way to welcome December and the holiday season.

What is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book?

It is a monthly series that Nancy and I will both publish on our blogs on the 15th of each month. Anyone who would like to participate and be featured can send us their photos with a short description explaining if the item was a Good Buy or one that you will be saying Good-Bye to. We will give you the theme for the next month in each post. Photos will be due to us by the 10th of the month. So please join us for December by sending us some photos of your favorite (or least favorite) Faux Fur things with a brief description as to why you love or hate them!

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 purchasing Bad Buys every now and then for a variety of reasons…it was so cheap, you were in a hurry and really wanted (needed) to buy something, it fit almost quite right. But, of course, we also have those purchases that can make us so very happy. A piece of clothing or accessory 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 nostalgic holiday feeling back. Every month you can choose which item you want to submit. A Good Buy or a Good-Bye. We will provide the theme for each month. Photos should be submitted to us by the 10th of the month with a few sentences explaining why it is a Good Buy or Good-Bye.

I have long been a fan of the faux fur trend. The furrier, the fuzzier, the more obnoxious the fur may be, the more compelled I am to own it. I do love a touch of over the top and some of the faux furry pieces available these days fit the bill perfectly. If you love all the furry things as much as I do, or maybe you hate them tremendously but tried a thing or two, don’t be afraid to share them with us. And remember, this is all for fun, so don’t be afraid to stretch your imagination and our definitions! Join us with whatever you’ve got. We are not strict with our rules! And feel free to send more than one item. Both Nancy and I will feature you.

Now let’s check out some of my favorite furry things for inspiration!
