    My sale outfit of the (new) year

    Although you might think I’m always buying clothes in reality I haven’t bought anything from a charity shop for weeks now (apart from the sparkly Next skirt in February).  But I do admit to a bit of spending spree in

    Hat walk – 2

    This is another lovely big black hat, which I’m wearing for Judith Boyd’s March Hat Attack.  The hat’s similar to the one I bought in January at Urban Outfitters. But this one is more opulent with a lovely trim. Sadly

    Film night outfit – February 2015

    Hi everyone Here’s a new theme for the blog.  I always dress up for our monthly film nights.  I help to run a great little film society in our town that shows films once a month, and that evening always

    It’s that magazine again!

    Stop reading at once if you don’t like my occasional rants about Vogue. But it’s one of those months when a large thump on the mat means it’s Vogue’s International Collections Special – in other words, there are a few

    Hat walk – 1

    Funnily enough that beautiful fur hat (that featured in my last post and goes with the leopard skin fur coat) is not particularly warm if worn straight on the head, because it leaves the back of my head bare.  Lots

    My vintage outfit of the month – February 2015

    Here’s that fabulous vintage faux fur coat with matching hat I bought at the Brighton Vintage Fair last summer. Btw, there’s another Vintage Fair (at the Corn Exchange, Brighton) on Sunday 15 February. I wore the coat and hat last Friday,

    Coats for this cold weather – will you be wearing a padded jacket?

    Currently, there’s been a relatively big snow-storm on the East-side of the States, and this weekend the UK will be getting some colder weather. How to dress for it is the key question. I apologise in advance – sorry, really sorry

    My charity shop outfit of the week

    Hi everyone One of my New Year’s resolutions was, obvs, to review the blog.  It’s good to reflect on ways to improve, I think.  OK, so here’s what I’m going to do.  See the title of the post?  Every week or so

    Why not wear that fabulous outfit that’s right there in the back of your wardrobe?

    I don’t constantly dress up, unlike the amazing Sue Kreitzman, who believes you should curate your look at all times. I try, but it isn’t always achieved, particularly when you feel a bit low from a wintery cold (and the

    What do you think about wearing a hat around town? A proper one!

    My cold has gone and my gloomy mood is greatly improved by my recent charity shop finds. I was out in Brighton, just looking you understand! And I ended up with a complete outfit and more. Here’s the outfit. That’s

    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,
