    Hello everyone Apologies for not posting earlier but I’ve got the cold that’s currently going around the UK and am firing on one cylinder rather than, is it four?  My brain is so befuddled, I can’t think of the right

    Did the de-cluttering go well? Yes. And then again, no!

    Did the de-cluttering go well?  Yes. And then again, no!

    I’m good at de-cluttering. Or so I thought! Because I got rid of sack loads of clothes before I moved to our new flat, and reduced the number of my hats by half.  Mind you, I think the number of

    My love for a certain colour – yellow!

    Some film night outfits worn over the years

    Wow, life has been sooo busy since we came back. First, it was the unpacking and the washing.  Why is it, even if you wash things before you come back, there’s still a huge heap on the floor after you’ve

    Do you embrace colourful clothes? I know I do!

    Hello again I do love colourful clothes.  I admit to possessing many black tops and I do wear black (skinny) jeans from time to time, but there’s nothing like a pop of colour to lift the spirits. I’m not a

    What! Another article on what you should or shouldn’t wear! No way!

    Apparently there’s another article on what women shouldn’t wear over a certain age! Is it something about the summer months and journalists having nothing to say – funny that, I thought a lot was going on in the world?  No,

    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,
