    My favourite buys and other happenings in 2022

    Hello everyone   I hope you all had a good Christmas and didn’t overeat or rush around too much. I certainly did both of those on Christmas Day but it was so worth it to have family around, which was

    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,
