I’m packing again – but will I get it right!

I’m packing again – but will I get it right!

Hi everyone It’s mid September now and many bloggers are talking up the importance of transitioning to Autumn/Fall clothing.  I’m finding it quite difficult to get this right, but actually shouldn’t we just look out of the window and go, I think I’ll wear that! Mind you, it is a

Clothes for rainy days!

Clothes for rainy days!

Hello everyone I began this post on Monday when Brighton had an almost day-long torrential downpour, one of many downpours we had over the last week, but hey, this week the weather has improved and it’s sunnier and warmer now – hurrah! That means this post is a bit out-of-date

Here’s to better things to come!

Hi everyone Got my vaccination done last Wednesday and, my word, the whole roll-out of vaccines in the UK is an incredibly efficient operation, and that, of course, is because it was not outsourced to an expensive private sector contractor but organised by our wonderful NHS. And what’s more they

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

Two Second-hand September buys

Two Second-hand September buys

Hi everyone Three cheers! I managed to get through September without buying any new clothes, which was so good as, really, over the last few month I have bought far too many new clothes, all online, of course. Some were necessary to accommodate my expanding waist (!) but I did

Is shopping going to change from traipsing around the shops to online?

Is shopping going to change from traipsing around the shops to online?

Hello everyone The charity shop just around the corner from me has reopened, but have I gone in it?  No, and I won’t until the number of UK cases and deaths per day go significantly down, as in, far, far further down than our government trumpets at its daily nonsensical

What I’ve been wearing lately!

Hello everyone I had a short break from blogging for a variety of reasons, but how are you all these days?  We continue to self-isolate, and apart from taking a short walk for fresh air we’re not interested in any lessening of the lockdown.  Personally won’t feel safe until I’m

New outfits and an attempt at mask making

New outfits and an attempt at mask making

Hello again I have some new outfits to show you, some thoughts on the situation, plus the mask-making that I haven’t quite got right. Earlier in the year February, when we weren’t in lockdown, and the numbers getting the virus were low, I went through a spate of buying from

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

About Me

My name is Penny, I am 76 years old and I live in Lewes, 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,
