Coats, I love them and especially if they’re red, yellow, green and orange!

Coats, I love them and especially if they’re red, yellow, green and orange!

Hi people I’m so sorry to have not posted last week – where does the time go!  But see my postscript for one reason why 🙂 Anyway, on this rather grey day I’d like to sing the praises of wearing colourful outer-wear. This is partly prompted by Melania Trump’s canary

Up to London – for good news and good views!

Up to London – for good news and good views!

Hi there After several months of sorting out the new flat we found time to go up to London for some exhibitions and my annual skin check at The Mole Clinic, which, btw, is not part of the NHS but I think the price worth it as I get a

A new skirt and Hair Part II

A new skirt and Hair Part II

Hello again I’m always on the lookout for skirts, which I prefer to jeans, pants and trousers.  I have two pairs of black skinny jeans one of which has sparkles on it and which I wear with a top in the evening, and I’ll wear that pair when we go

Jackets Part II and another necklace

Hello again Weather-wise we’re now fully into cold starts in the morning (for the UK) and a lot of rain, perhaps more than usual. Fortunately, even our leader (the one that I am not fully in tune with!) has said that the flooding in the north of our country is

Hello everyone First things first I bought a new hat! Rather pleased with it.  I saw it in  charity shop on our Sunday walk and yes, you’ve guessed, I pounced! It cost all of £4! We were out and about watching the Vintage Car Rally which begins in London and

More random thoughts on books and things

Hello everyone I’m still rearranging things in the new flat including my makeup drawers, which are now my costume jewellery drawers. I am, btw, going to re-start the makeup videos, not immediately, but at some point. There’s a whole load of reasons why I stopped them and I’ll be writing

A necklace, a new jacket (or is it a coat) and some books I’ve been reading

Hello everyone Thanks so much for your comments on Peaky Blinders. You convinced me!  I’ve started watching it and I don’t know why I avoided this series all these years as I really like it. I wore the spider brooch (see last post) last Saturday when I returned to my

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

Media images of ageing – are they too clichéd and restricted?

Early last week I wrote a piece elsewhere, which was mainly in praise of Lady Hale, the wonder woman heading up our Supreme Court.  And she really is a wonder woman as the court’s judgement on the legality of our Parliament’s prorogation was superb in its depth and breadth yet

The continuing impact of the move and how I’m dealing with it

We love living in the centre of Brighton and this has made quite a difference to our cultural life.  Last Sunday we went to a gig. OK, it was in the afternoon, but it was a right rock-on affair with the Alter Eagles showcasing all the original Eagles songs. Who

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,
the frugalfashionshopper
