    I’m buying fewer items

    Hi everyone. This is about me buying few items of clothing. Hmm, well I am trying. I mean, once upon a time I made many a New Year’s resolution but I’m not a fan of doing that now.  But there

    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,
