    It’s 11 days to the move!

    I continue to declutter and that includes pieces of furniture as well as clothes, and I will be packing my suitcase for the cruise this week. Other odds and ends will be discarded as well. I do love the challenge

    An unsuitable dress?

    An unsuitable dress?

    Last week I bought a dress from a charity shop for £8. It caught my eye as the material was pretty and, joy of joys, it still had its original store label, so it was unworn, it was new.  Wow!

    Hello everyone I’m back and the flat is festooned in washing, it’ll take me a week to get straight. We had a great time and loved nearly everything about the holiday, but tbh, it’s rare for a holiday to be

    Hello everyone Apologies for not posting earlier but I’ve got the cold that’s currently going around the UK and am firing on one cylinder rather than, is it four?  My brain is so befuddled, I can’t think of the right

    Some film night outfits worn over the years

    Wow, life has been sooo busy since we came back. First, it was the unpacking and the washing.  Why is it, even if you wash things before you come back, there’s still a huge heap on the floor after you’ve

    How’s the build-up to Christmas going for you?  I’m finding it quite hard to get into the Christmas spirit this year, because, you know, it’s not exactly been a good year for the world.  And I almost (but not quite)

    Down south where I live in the UK, today’s a proper frosty winter day with cold weather forecast for the rest of the week.  So I should be talking about keeping warm and wearing winter woollies.  Instead, I’m writing about

    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,
