    We wear what we want when we’re over 70!

    We wear what we want when we’re over 70!

    Did you see the article that caused a lot of chatter in the blogosphere recently (in RantChic.com apparently – no, me neither) on 24 things a woman over 30 shouldn’t wear (leopard-skin, graphic Ts, short dresses and so on)?  No?

    I’m taking a capsule wardrobe, I promise!

    Hello again Did I mention that I was going on a cruise?   Like last year (and even though I’m going away for 14 days) I’m taking a capsule wardrobe for daywear, sticking predominantly to blue jeans and black skinnies with

    What to wear out and about in these cool and breezy April days

    What’s the weather like where you are? Here in the UK it’s typical April showers for us with the sun out at times, which is lovely until you get an icy wind, which is how it was on Sunday when

    Hatwalk 15 – April 2016

    The beginning of the month and another hat.  I see Judith Boyd has chosen a Spring hat for her #hat attack session, but mine is still very much a winter hat.  It is harder, I think, to find spring and

    Film night outfit – March 2016

    I’ve done it again.  It’s the end of the month and I haven’t posted the outfit I wore at our Hillcrest Film Society’s March screening.  We showed Pride, which was hugely popular with our audience who gave it a round

    My New Year’s resolutions: shall I make some or not!

    If there’s one thing the many articles in the press are saying about New Year’s resolutions is that they’re never kept beyond January.  Hmm. What do you think about this whole business of resolving to do something different, or better

    What to wear at all those Christmas parties – a statement skirt!

    What to wear at all those Christmas parties – a statement skirt!

    I don’t know about you, but I notice that a lot of fashion blogs are not only for the young, they’re often very upbeat (apart that is from Atypical60 who has the occasional rant about life, which I love). I’ve

    Bold prints – no, that’s not me, or is it?

    Bold prints – no, that’s not me, or is it?

    The theme for this weeks #iwillwearwhatilike linkup is bold prints, and so I thought, oh no, that’s not me, I never wear bold prints, I won’t be participating then. Because if there’s one thing I can’t abide it’s the photos in

    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,
