    Do you embrace colourful clothes? I know I do!

    Do you embrace colourful clothes? I know I do!

    Hello again I do love colourful clothes.  I admit to possessing many black tops and I do wear black (skinny) jeans from time to time, but there’s nothing like a pop of colour to lift the spirits. I’m not a

    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,
