French style and two new berets!

Hello again It’s the last week of my holiday and I’ve started packing.  And I’m sorry to tell you that the hot weather clothes didn’t get much of an airing as it’s been one of those years when the weather in France has been quite cool and wet.  Never mind,

My holiday hat – plus the importance of doing nothing

Hello everyone I’m half-way through my holiday in France and I’m reporting that we’re having a great time doing nothing much at all.  We were determined to regain our energies after our move, and you don’t get that from dashing hither and thither to look at this and visit that.

Hats and other things that are going in my suitcase!

Hats and other things that are going in my suitcase!

Hello Yes, I’m packing for my long break in France.  And still worrying about whether I’m putting the wrong things into my case.  I am not one of those fashionistas that can pack next-to-nothing for a holiday apart from a sarong that has 50 different uses including acting as a

Don’t act your age!

Don’t act your age!

Hello everyone And a very big welcome to those of you who popped over from the post I wrote on Tricia Cusden’s Look Fabulous Forever blog, and decided to stay!  Yes, I wrote about our decision to move into a retirement flat.  If you haven’t visited Tricia’s website before do

Do you embrace colourful clothes? I know I do!

Do you embrace colourful clothes? I know I do!

Hello again I do love colourful clothes.  I admit to possessing many black tops and I do wear black (skinny) jeans from time to time, but there’s nothing like a pop of colour to lift the spirits. I’m not a colourist, not an expert in this, but I think as

Are you fit and healthy? Because I’m not!

I’m awfully unfit.  This is partly due to the stubbed toe.  Twice I careered into furniture I wasn’t expecting to be in the place they were, which is such a stupid thing to do, but, as the nurse at the Minor Injuries Unit said, is something we all do at

Hatwalk 26  – August 2017 Plus some sales bargains as well!

Hello everyone Another month, another hat, another share with the fabulous Judith Boyd. And the hat? Here it is. It’s a new one this time.  Look. Seriously. I got rid of many hats and other stuff for the move, but clothes and hats are creeping back! Today we’re having a

What! Another article on what you should or shouldn’t wear! No way!

Apparently there’s another article on what women shouldn’t wear over a certain age! Is it something about the summer months and journalists having nothing to say – funny that, I thought a lot was going on in the world?  No, oh well. Because last year I featured a riposte to

A tale of 3 outfits

A tale of 3 outfits

I do make mistakes when buying clothes.  Sometimes I have a really good sense of what looks right, and then all of that goes out of the window and I buy something that I’m not at all happy with.  Anyway, this is a tale of three outfits.  And how I really

Furniture and stuff

Just for those of you who I know are curious about how the flat looks (or apartment if you prefer the US version) I’ll give you a fleeting glimpse. Here’s a pic I took shortly after the furniture arrived.  It was a hot night and we’d been out to supper

About Me

My name is Penny, I am 71 years old and I live in Brighton, East Sussex. My reasons for writing a fashion blog is that I have built up a great wardrobe on very little money mainly because I buy from charity shops.

So my blog will feature the clothes I have found since I retired, and the clothes that I continue to find in my local charity shops. From time to time I will also comment on issues around women and ageing.

Penny,
