    Going grey

    Over 70 and loving it – most of the time!!!

    Over 70 and loving it – most of the time!!!

    People are beginning to visit our new abode and (with some of them) there’s a hint of surprise in their voices when they say, ‘oh, it’s really nice’.  And one visitor, who was really negative about the whole idea of

    The look I like and the look I don’t like!

    The look I like and the look I don’t like!

    The look.  OK, my very good friend Catherine of AtypicaI60 is so honest.  On her blog she often shows her face and hair how it is.  We see her spots, wrinkles and blotches and hear about the travails and trials

    Older and wiser? And greyer? Or maybe white?

    Hi everyone I need your help.  I’m meeting a journalist quite soon who will interview me for a book about older women and the wisdom they’ve gained, possibly called ‘Older and Wiser’ (the title could change, of course, as it’s

    Hair Part I – are you going grey or not?

    Hi everyone and here’s my take on this grey hair business. Just recently there’s been a fair amount in the media about the glories of going or being grey. It’s always coming up: for instance, on Sunday the veteran journalist

    The colours we wear as we age

    Growing up with red(ish) hair my mother would say – ‘never wear pink, dear, not with your colouring’, ‘don’t whatever you do wear red’ and ‘blue is the colour that will suit you, dearest’.  I wore that colour most of my

    Hair Part II The debate around body hair. What to do with it, or not!

    I said I’d return to the subject of hair and I have, but this time I also talk about the hair that’s not just on our head.  And no photos this week *coughs delicately*! I’ve been thinking about this a

    Going grey – yes or no?

    Hair, as we age, can be a worry.  There’s the style – should we have a fringe to hide those wrinkles?  There’s the condition – it does seem that hair gets dryer. And then there’s the colour – should we

    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,
