Attitudes and age

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

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 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

Tea at The Grand, Brighton!

Tea at The Grand, Brighton!

Hello again You remember that on Friday I made my bedroom really untidy whilst I was was trying on clothes. This is what I decided to wear on Sunday. That’s my tulle ballerina-length skirt that I haven’t worn since I used to dress up on film nights  (I helped to

A little bit of this and that

Hello everyone I thought I’d give you some snippets about this and that and items that have interested me these past few days. My eye is nearly back to normal.  Here I am once again in the gym getting ready for Pilates. Yup, I’ve got a hole in my tights!

Shopping for fun and that adrenalin rush!

Shopping for fun and that adrenalin rush!

Hi everyone I felt I needed to get out of the flat for a bit, so went shopping and ‘looking’.  Much of my clothes shopping is done this way.  I look to see what trends there are in the fashion mags.  I look in various outlets (especially stores like Urban

Is your face ‘you’? Your image, your look, your self – who and what are we?

See the title? I could also be saying, who am I?  Wow – that’s a big question, but I’m feeling somewhat discombobulated (I love that word) at the moment. We’ve just returned to our flat, after a week away. But not quite. Our bathroom is a plaster shell and we

Something to be proud of – and a big thank you!

Something to be proud of – and a big thank you!

Hey, I went to Pride last Saturday and stood in the heat and watched the Parade. The above pic was taken during the week on a quiet day in a back street, therefore, no crowds unlike Saturday. But, so proud of Pride and Brighton – it’s why I moved to

Fitness as we age, and the blocks we put in the way of it. You’ll hear that I’m still doing that!

Fitness as we age, and the blocks we put in the way of it. You’ll hear that I’m still doing that!

This post is written to encourage all of you who’ve been thinking about taking up some exercise but are still at that thinking stage – I’ve been there and done that!  It’s also written to show you that we’re all human and that often we dither and are unsure about what’s

Decluttering again!

Decluttering again!

I’ve had another purge of my wardrobe. I decluttered a great many things before I moved in to this little flat, and not just clothes, but kitchen equipment, books, ornaments and pictures. Why is this item here, I asked? Do I truly want to keep this?  In a shiny modern

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,
