    Great looks and new finds for April!

    Hi everyone As you know, I’m moving to a much smaller place and, therefore, de-cluttering and downsizing big-time.  I’ve been so good.  Loads of clothes, ornaments and kitchen crockery, plus other things, have gone to charity shops to be recycled

    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,
