    Keeping warm in winter

    Good news – it’s colder! And. More good news!

    Hi everyone   I do love my coats and hey, it’s colder (for the UK) this week, so out come some of my coats. I’ve said before, my philosophy regarding coats is that my outerwear in winter is the key

    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,
    the Frugalfashionshopper
