    That was a week that was – but moving on!

    Hello everyone And thank you for the comments re: MrF and the concern you showed.  His follow-up clinic was briskly reassuring and we move on from there.  Meanwhile, having at the time been Mrs Competence personified 24 hours later I

    I have very few shoes but I forgot to say I have 27 hats!

    Hello again And a big thank you to all of you who commented on my last post, which seemed to generate quite a lot of interest.  Btw, I miscounted. I have 12 pairs of shoes rather than 11! So, having

    In praise of comfortable shoes!

    Hello everyone I see someone suggested I wear better shoes but here’s the thing, I’m not disagreeing, as I’m always on the lookout for shoes, but never seem to buy any.  About a month ago I had a whole shop

    What’s the oldest garment you possess – and wear?

    My newspaper has asked its readers the above question: what is the oldest item of clothing you have in your wardrobe? I read that article in bed early in the morning, and over my pyjamas I was wearing a long

    We had hot weather for four days – back to cooler and quite windy weather now!

    Hello again I’ve had a busy few days over Easter which was glorious for the UK. We had hot weather, which was lovely. I don’t usually like hot weather mainly because it doesn’t suit me (Sottish genes) and I’m suspicious

    More skirts with an added pop of colour

    Hi everyone I’ve bought two more skirts, which aren’t featured here, you’ll see them another time. I am such a skirt person though, and always have been.  Jeans/trousers/pants are so not my go-to item of clothing. But for a short

    The makeup business – new developments and trends plus a joyful experience

    The makeup business – new developments and trends plus a joyful experience

    Hello everyone The beauty business – it’s a strange one. Think how it’s changed over the years. It used to be ‘let’s go down Boots’, after a frothy coffee in that new-fangled coffee bar. And once in Boots, the Chemist,

    In praise of wearing colourful clothes

    I used to wear a lot of black clothes and still have two pairs of black jeans and that faux black leather jacket – that’s OK I think.  But I have changed my attitude to wearing bright colours, and then

    Hello everyone I’m back and busily working my way through piles of washing and loads of emails. We had a wonderful time catching up with friends who live in France; one for 30 years and the others 15 years. We

    About Me

    My name is Penny, I am 78 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
