    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

    Film night – October 2017

    My love for a certain colour – yellow!

    As you know, I love a pop of colour and especially a particular shade of yellow.  And it’s not a pale lemon yellow either.  No, what I love is that in-your-face yellow. The kind that knocks you out and makes

    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

    My holiday hat – plus the importance of doing nothing

    Hello everyone I’m half-way through my holiday in France and I’m reporting that we’re having a great time doing nothing much at all.  We were determined to regain our energies after our move, and you don’t get that from dashing

    Hats and other things that are going in my suitcase!

    Hello Yes, I’m packing for my long break in France.  And still worrying about whether I’m putting the wrong things into my case.  I am not one of those fashionistas that can pack next-to-nothing for a holiday apart from a

    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
