Hello everyone I’ve been absent from the blog – I had such a busy week!  On Monday I published on My Other Blog (and don’t read it if you’re sick of Brexit, but click on the icon if you’d like, although it’s already out of date as events are moving

What a great day

What a great day

I think there’s been something about blue Monday? Apparently this so-called blue day was Monday, January 21st. Some psychologist invented the term after coming up with a formula for the most depressing day of the year when people feel depressed and at their lowest ebb. Really? Look, life is tough

The not-quite January sales

The not-quite January sales

Once upon a time sales started the day after Christmas, which is Boxing Day in the UK and, as you know, nothing to do with boxing (!) and I think I recall that even further back sales began on the 1st of January!  But now we have Black Friday (quite

On hats and coats and other things – like painting one’s nails instead of baking!

I expect you’re very busy. It’s just one week to Christmas and there’s much to do. We’re hosting the Christmas lunch and there’s all the food shopping to complete and orders to be put in. Btw, I don’t do ANY baking. Not now, not any more. I used to make

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

The blessings of friendship – and cold weather!

The blessings of friendship – and cold weather!

Hello I do like winter weather. Well, I qualify that, as we’re just at the beginning of winter and we’ve not had weeks of that grey damp (gets in your bones) weather that we have here in the UK. Today is a bit grey in the south though, but I

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

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

About Me

My name is Penny, I am 72 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,
