    Skirts, skirts, skirts!

    Hi everyone As you all know, separates are my thing. I simply adore skirts and as a result have very few dresses. In fact, recently I counted the skirts I have in my wardrobe and there are 25 of them,

    Film night outfit – April 2016

    We all had such a blast on Saturday night at our local film society’s monthly film screening.  I know we did because (I love it when this happens) at the end of the film the audience clapped.  But who wouldn’t

    Building a look that costs not a lot!

    Building a look that costs not a lot!

    Hi everyone This is a post all about building up a look on next-to-nothing, because, of course, practically every item in my wardrobe has been bought from charity shops for around £5 – you know, it makes sense! I went

    Throwing out the old and welcoming the new – as in new skirts!

    I’ve written about de-cluttering before but since I’ve got back from my holiday I’ve gone through my wardrobe, like a dose of salts, as the saying goes, and thrown out loads of my clothes. There’s something about returning from a

    Never say never – I’ve bought a mid-length skirt for the cruise!

    Some time ago I said I really hope mid-length skirts don’t come back into fashion as I see them as frumpy. And can I say to anyone who loves that type of skirt that I’m only applying that to myself.

    Skirts – frilly or sleek?

    From some of the posts I’ve written you might assume that much of my wardrobe is full to bursting with multi-layered frilly skirts.  But, I’m ruthless at getting rid of things I don’t wear, so my clothes cupboard isn’t as

    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,
