    Jeans and jackets – it’s a combo you can wear at any age!

    Jeans and jackets – it’s a combo you can wear at any age!

    I don’t know about you, but the weather here hasn’t been typical of a British autumn.  It’s been warm and benign with few frosts, and not a lot of rain either.   Usually, I miss that ‘window’ of jacket-wearing weather

    On not buying clothes at random!

    On not buying clothes at random!

    Yes, continuing my theme of how I really try to not buy just because I’m in a charity shop, and it’s such a bargain, or it’s a great piece but I’ve got nothing to wear with it but, hey, I’ll

    An outfit for just under £50!

    Dressing for a typical English holiday – the necessity of covering the ears!

    On Southwold pier

    I had written something for the blog to post while away on a week’s holiday in Suffolk, but some of the photos we’ve taken are so reminiscent of the holidays I experienced as a child I felt I had to

    Whatever your size you can never have enough blue jeans!

    Invisible Woman wrote about jeans quite recently and the challenge of buying them for herself as she’s quite short and a UK size 12/14.  But even so she found some that fitted well and looked good on her.  (Her article has

    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,
