ATTITUDES & AGE

How did this happen?

How did this happen?

I’ll be 75 next birthday (in June) and I often think along the lines of How.Did.That.Happen, this ageing thing? Because it creeps up on you and then boom, it’s there! I’ve said this before, that when I was 40 I thought no different to a 30-yr-old, same when I was

Celebrating women everywhere, especially my mother!

Hi everyone And here’s to women around the world, happy International Women’s Day (which was actually 8 March). I see the theme this year is Choose to Challenge. Yes, that’s a good one, as I agree that we should challenge everything, or at the very least keep a critical and

Lockdown diaries – 28th October 2020. What keeps you smiling?

Hi everyone And here we are, almost another month gone from this year. Are you finding that the weeks and months pass quickly? I am, and not sure why but the days do tend to blend in and merge together and there have been a couple of times when I

Decisions, decisions for a move (or two) that was right for us!

Decisions, decisions for a move (or two) that was right for us!

Hello everyone How are things with you? Good I hope. We’re fine and I’ll say more about my state of mind at the end of the month, but for now, I am going to revisit the major decision we made to move to housing for the over-65s. This has been

Are you wearing all white?

Are you wearing all white?

Hello again Apparently wearing an all-white outfit is the latest in thing in fashion circles, say the fashion journos, and who am I to argue with this. Did you know that this wearing of white is meant to be a homage to Wimbledon, which I am so sad to be

Is shopping going to change from traipsing around the shops to online?

Is shopping going to change from traipsing around the shops to online?

Hello everyone The charity shop just around the corner from me has reopened, but have I gone in it?  No, and I won’t until the number of UK cases and deaths per day go significantly down, as in, far, far further down than our government trumpets at its daily nonsensical

What is this blog for?

Hello everyone I haven’t bought any clothes these last couple of weeks and, what with the drop in temperatures here in the UK, haven’t worn much other than my two new pairs of jeans with a variety of tops, so I thought that this post might look at what this blog

Hello everyone I do hope you had a good Christmas and New Year and a bit of a break from work, although, if you’re a woman, and the majority of my readers are, I bet you did a lot of cooking 🙂 Throughout these ‘holidays’ or Twixmas, as some media

About Me

My name is Penny, I am 74 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,
the Frugalfashionshopper
