A touch of red

Hi there!

How has your weekend been?  Enjoyable, I hope.
I had an exciting/interesting weekend in some ways, including a cookery course and Sunday roast club, a walk in the park, picking up of a parcel, great church service and some housework!

Since TARDIS Tuesday and Visible Monday are upon us, I decided to try and cosplay in a tenuous way, this outfit worn by Clara Oswald in Doctor Who.

The main features I tried to incorporate were the 

  • red and black pattered skater skirt
  • Asymmetric cropped jacket
  • Heeled lace-ups
  • Red collar detail

Here I finally  christened my charity-shopped grey wool jacket (this is as close as I personally will currently be getting to a leather jacket in current times), Bailey and Quinn red leather handbag and Clarks ox-blood shoes both bought in the post-Christmas sales.

A touch of red

Underneath the jacket, I wore a Peter-pan collared top and Cashmere jumper, both from Primark, ancient. Black tights are presumably ancient. Who can tell the difference between black tights?

 Admittedly, what I am wearing is a bit different but not a bad Cosplay, I hope!  

I must dash. Have not been free to blog all weekend so this is it! Breathe a sigh of relief....

Enjoying linking with 3 lovely ladies...

  4. The skirt is so beautiful and totally my style. This is the best outfit! I especially love the peter pan collar underneath, that is a such an adorable touch and adds so much to the look.

  21. I wouldn't call this tenuous at all - spot on is more like it! Clara carries a very similar red bag in several episodes. :)
