Lockdown diaries – 29 June 2020

Lockdown diaries – 29 June 2020

Hi everyone I wonder how long I’ll be doing a post at the end of the month on what is now my version of lockdown?  Maybe for some time. We’re going to restart visiting family again, I hasten to add, in their respective gardens (which we stopped as there was

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

Buying fewer clothes and makeup – I’m trying!

Buying fewer clothes and makeup – I’m trying!

There’s a post on climate change that I’ve been writing on and off for several weeks, but it’s not ready and maybe never will. It’s quite long but just doesn’t read right. Several things prompted my attempt. First, it was Sir David Attenborough’s documentary, Climate Change: The Facts, which was excellent

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

Hatwalk 29 – April 2018

Hatwalk 29 – April 2018

Another post on wearing hats around town. I know some of you say that you can’t wear hats but I think everyone can (especially when it’s the winter!) and the way to start with hat wearing is with a beret, which, I think, suits every type of face.  So here

Cruising around Spain

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

Shopping in a charity shop – here’s how!

Shopping in a charity shop – here’s how!

Hmm, just read an article on going beyond Black Friday and caring for your clothes to prevent waste and the excessive buying that is the pattern for the next few weeks.  And for those over the pond, did you realise Black Friday wasn’t a thing for us in the UK

Another hat for my collection!

Another hat for my collection!

How’s the build-up to Christmas going for you?  I’m finding it quite hard to get into the Christmas spirit this year, because, you know, it’s not exactly been a good year for the world.  And I almost (but not quite) banned my reading of political articles over the Christmas holidays,

Reflections on Ageing Part 1 – Clothes and all that

Reflections on Ageing Part 1 –  Clothes and all that

On the cruise (which I think I’ve mentioned before) I shall turn 70.   How did that happen?  Well, the years pass and no way can you stop the clock. Would I want to though?  Stop and reverse the clock?  Sometimes I look back and think, perhaps that could have been

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,
