The blessings of friendship – and cold weather!

The blessings of friendship – and cold weather!

Hello I do like winter weather. Well, I qualify that, as we’re just at the beginning of winter and we’ve not had weeks of that grey damp (gets in your bones) weather that we have here in the UK. Today is a bit grey in the south though, but I

My new charity shop skirt

My new charity shop skirt

Hello What’s new? This week it’s an M&S Per Una skirt bought in the British Heart Foundation (Lewes) charity shop for just £4.49. What a bargain and so unworn too. But, of course, when looking in charity shops, the two things you always say to yourself, is i) what is

Some bargains found!

Some bargains found!

Hello everyone There’s been a bit of an absence here.  It was just a busy, sociable, meeting friends kind of week, plus I posted on My Other Blog. Stuff (otherwise known as Brexit) is happening, or not happening, people, so read all about it there. I went to Pilates twice

The hat that belonged to my sister

The hat that belonged to my sister

Hello A few posts back someone mentioned the small wardrobe that she had when growing up, which is what I remember having, and my mother and father having. In fact my parents shared a small wooden wardrobe, and it was only when they reached their 70s that they had something

My yellow coat plus sorting the lighting!

Hello everyone As promised I’m featuring a wonderful yellow coat I bought in a charity shop in Poole (Dorset, UK) which cost all of £5, I mean, when you see it, you’ll be amazed at the quality and, therefore, the price.  But first of all, thank you for all the

Pale but interesting – that’s you!

Pale but interesting – that’s you!

This is a post for those of you who are concerned about that loss of pigment and the consequential pallor that you get as you age. Btw, no pics of me this week as I’ve just had a tooth extracted leaving one side of my face with a cheek that’s

The trouble with cotton

Well that’s cured me of wandering around the shops in Brighton with my mouth watering.  Yes, Brighton has some gorgeous clothes shops. But they’re honey traps with deliciously appealing clothes at not unreasonable prices. Not that I’ve bought anything new for some weeks now – thank goodness – because I

Hatwalk 33 – October 2018

It is so warm for the time of year here in the UK. Maybe next week it’s going to be cooler, but I’ve heard that one before.  Well let’s see, because although I should be enjoying the heat of the sun on my face, really i) this is not good

The thing about white hair

The thing  about white hair

It’s two years now since I had my hair dyed. It was October 2016 when I last had my roots  coloured, and I look at past photos (here’s one taken a few years ago) and I think, gosh, that was a bit yellow and artificial. Not that I thought that at

How do you relax on a short break?

Hello everyone I’ve been away for 4 days taking a short break. It was great.  We had glorious weather and for two of those days we stayed in Cedar Falls Health Farm in Somerset. I’ve been going to Cedar Falls for years having spotted it whilst driving past one time,

About Me

My name is Penny, I am 73 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,
