    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

    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,
