Lockdown winter wear – time for something different!

Lockdown winter wear – time for something different!

Hi everyone Hope you’re continuing to be OK, safe and well. We’re fine and doing the same old stuff and just hanging in there until we get our vaccine, which in the UK seems to be a bit of a post-code lottery with some areas streets ahead in the numbers

This and that and a coat that reminds me of happy days to come!

Hi everyone How’s life treating you?  It was really cold (for the UK) last week and I wrapped up and layered with thick woollen tops, thick leggings plus a woollen skirt and socks, and I wore my outdoor furry boots indoors as our flat is hard to keep warm. The

Brr, it’s cold outside! Let’s look at coats!

Hello everyone Brr! We are currently having several days of damp, cold weather with temperatures down to freezing. And it’s the kind of cold that gets into the bones, plus on the seafront if there’s a north wind as well, it’s brrrrrrr!  Look at this. That was a chilly walk

Here I go again!

Hello everyone How are you all?  Well, I hope and, if you live in England, coping with the lockdown Version 2.0, which doesn’t feel as severe as last time. It was so quiet though March, April and May, but looking out from our apartment the traffic seems to be about

A coat and a skirt bought just before lockdown

Hello everyone Here we go again, back in lockdown. How are you feeling about this?  My heart goes out to those who have lost their jobs or near to losing them, but personally, I’ve got so used to not doing all that much that really, it hasn’t made much impact

Skirts, skirts, skirts!

Skirts, skirts, skirts!

Hi everyone As you all know, separates are my thing. I simply adore skirts and as a result have very few dresses. In fact, recently I counted the skirts I have in my wardrobe and there are 25 of them, and that’s not counting the ones I have put away

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,
