    My new charity shop skirt

    My new charity shop skirt

    Hello What’s new? This week it’s an M&S Per Una skirt bought in the British Heart Foundation (Lewes) charity shop for just £4.49. What a bargain and so unworn too. But, of course, when looking in charity shops, the two

    Hello everyone As I expect you all know, there’s a heatwave in the UK and, apparently, around the world.  Not entirely sure I’m happy with the continuous sun, although I remember that in the winter I said to myself that

    An update on the fitness thing

    This blog has always been more than just the charity shop shopping and the clothes I wear.  It’s also about women and ageing, and how we can age well and all the positive things we can do to be healthy

    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,
