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

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?

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,

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

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

Hatwalk 32 – September 2018

Hello again Here’s a short and sweet post to celebrate the fact I’m wearing contacts and eye makeup again – yay! And here’s a new hat bought from a charity shop for £10. I think that’s quite expensive for a hat that I’m not sure I’ll wear all the 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,
