    Spring clothes

    The Westwood effect – the items I bought after my trip to the exhibition of Vivienne Westwood’s clothes

    Hello everyone   Many apologies for my absence, but I hadn’t ceased writing as last week I posted a blog on My Other Blog on the legacy of the last government. It’s rather out-of-date now as we have a new

    Two skirts and another update on the move!

    Hi everyone I hope you all had a good Easter. Actually is it me or has it become a tad commercialised these days with all the exhortations to buy Easter eggs and other goodies?  Who remembers when the bakeries opened

    It’s time to get out those Spring jackets!

    It’s mid-March, which is about the time we get very mixed weather here in the UK. Sometimes it’s freezing and when I read of other bloggers who live in the northern hemisphere having temperatures reaching 70F (that’s 21C to us

    Hatwalk 23 – May 2017

    I notice that some Stateside bloggers are already talking about wearing warm weather clothes and featuring sleeveless tops.  Wow!  That’s so not the case here!  We do have days when it’s sunny and there’s a blue sky, but even though

    What to wear out and about in these cool and breezy April days

    What’s the weather like where you are? Here in the UK it’s typical April showers for us with the sun out at times, which is lovely until you get an icy wind, which is how it was on Sunday when

    Charity shop shopping – it just makes sense

    Every now and then I go out shopping for something that’s not second-hand. I’ve had quite an expensive month, what with going to a physio (my back is improving but it’s all about the morning exercises because I missed a

    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

    The grey days of February – why not bring a little colour into your wardrobe?

    I’ve had a couple of days away this week and the sun has shone for several hours and the skies were blue, and it was just such a pleasure to have some light and brightness in the sky.  The British

    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,
