Autumn clothes

My latest find – and it’s something spidery that sparkles! Plus another view of my favourite skirt and what I’ve been watching!

My latest find – and it’s something spidery that sparkles!  Plus another view of my favourite skirt and what I’ve been watching!

Hello everyone Just look what I found in a nearby shop yesterday – a spider brooch which I shall wear and wear, I promise. I’ve just bought it so no pix of me wearing it yet but here it is by my newly painted nails to get the size. As

My yellow coat plus sorting the lighting!

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

Are you getting ready for the cooler weather?

Actually, this is not a good post to put up now, as apparently it’s going to get warmer in the UK this coming week! And I’ve only gone and put away my summer clothes, including all my linen dresses – it can’t be that hot, surely! Anyway, here are two

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!

Cold weather gear for walking into town

Cold weather gear for walking into town

Winter used to be my favourite season, but not so much now, however, I do like cold weather clothes.  And as the UK it’s getting just a bit cooler, I’ve begun to get out my winter clothes. I love wearing winter woollies!  But before you say I couldn’t wear wool

It’s that time of year again!

It’s that time of year again!

Hi there Yes, it’s that time of year again!  And by that I mean, it’s time to wear those jackets.  I love jackets but there’ve been years when the window of opportunity to wear them is very short and, before you know it, the autumn/fall weather is over and the

Jeans and jackets – it’s a combo you can wear at any age!

Jeans and jackets – it’s a combo you can wear at any age!

I don’t know about you, but the weather here hasn’t been typical of a British autumn.  It’s been warm and benign with few frosts, and not a lot of rain either.   Usually, I miss that ‘window’ of jacket-wearing weather as it’s gone straight from hot to cold. But not

Summer clothes – a new dress that wasn’t so good, a second-hand dress that’s for best and a very old dress that was just right!

Summer clothes – a new dress that wasn’t so good, a second-hand dress that’s for best and a very old dress that was just right!

We’re having a great summer here in the UK with lots of sun and blue sky so I’m wearing frocks a lot, which is unusual for me as skirts are my first love.  But autumn clothes are being featured in the fashion magazines and sales have started in our stores.

Autumn trends – do we heed the fashion journos or do we dress as we please?

Autumn trends – do we heed the fashion journos or do we dress as we please?

I’m always saying we should dress as we please. Because I believe that as we age we should wear what we want, and not what some young fashionista puts in an article as the thing to wear, or what the current fashion mags are saying is on trend for the

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,
