Party frocks

Here’s wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

Hello everyone How are you all?  Tired but happy, OK, or a bit down from all the news of ‘you know what’? Well, apparently, we should be happy that this variant is less serious, and that’s good, and yes we should feel encouraged, yet I think that won’t be the

Putting on my party frocks!

Hi everyone The holidays approach and Christmas Day is organised plus the other days of meeting up with friends and family are sorted, so what shall I wear? Well, I say meeting up with friends and family as though I’m doing a lot of that, but that would be a

Party frocks – actually I always prefer a party skirt!

Oh my word, it’s almost Christmas, and I’m nearly ready and it’s going to be fine. But I do have mixed feelings about the holiday. Christmas for me, now, is too much. It’s great when you’re a child and your parents rush around and give you the best Christmas they

I’m back and here’s some cruise highlights!

Hello everyone I’m back and I have to say that the day after we returned we wondered if we’d ever been away as we threw ourselves into unpacking the suitcases plus the unpacked boxes we’d left and by the end of the day, we were exhausted!  But hey, after another

It’s 11 days to the move!

I continue to declutter and that includes pieces of furniture as well as clothes, and I will be packing my suitcase for the cruise this week. Other odds and ends will be discarded as well. I do love the challenge of a good clearout! I’m finding that as I age

This and that and a swishing party planned – for the future!!!

Hi I don’t know if this happens elsewhere but here in the Uk whenever the media publishes an article on the older population (as in from 65+) it is usually accompanied by a photo of either a sad old woman looking out of the window or a pair of hands

An unsuitable dress?

An unsuitable dress?

Last week I bought a dress from a charity shop for £8. It caught my eye as the material was pretty and, joy of joys, it still had its original store label, so it was unworn, it was new.  Wow! Mind you, I could see it was a tight and

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

Cruising around Spain

Hello everyone I’m back and the flat is festooned in washing, it’ll take me a week to get straight. We had a great time and loved nearly everything about the holiday, but tbh, it’s rare for a holiday to be totally perfect and like a curate’s egg this cruise was

Dresses – less is more!

Hello again This post is a bit short as I’m currently writing a long post on the NHS for My Other Blog, which will appear on Friday, or possibly earlier.  So to calm my ire and rage (yes, I am angry) I’m looking once again at my dresses! Nothing like

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,
the Frugalfashionshopper
