You do realise now, that any time there is any slight appearance,I will be attributing all mention of blue to the TARDIS! Such is my life now I have committed to weekly Doctor Who-inspired outfits! Mwa ha- Mad cat lady no, Mad Who lady- yes!xx
Yes, this is what being friends with Maricel does to you. Embrace it ladies (and gents- not forgetting Shamu, Gary and WOMOTM and any other male readers/friends/family I have neglected to mention).
So a proclamation:
Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye, who so ever heareth this, that all shades of bright blue shall hereafter be known as TARDIS Blue and should the shades of cobalt, electric blue, royal blue, school blue, cerulean blue and so forth be worn, that they shall hereafter be collectively referred to as such.
And so on. So why the mention? Well, I have been feeling Two Birds Inspiration Monday guilt, not been joining in with Inspiration Monday so I when I saw that the inspiration was something I could readily see and think of, I immediately clocked the appearance of TARDIS Blue in Cindy Crawlford's outfit.
Which I decided to reverse, since I have a similar shaped and material thrifted jacket and a suitable-TARDIS-coloured top.
Wore simple denim coloured trousers (which look as wrinkled as a prune- NOT a flattering look), similar boots and voila.
Yet, tis all about the extra secret details to make it my own...
TARDIS sign necklace and Crown and Glory TARDIS blue jewelled headband- secret extra allusions!
I should add that this necklace is NOT good to swing-dance in- either you garotte yourself or a partner or smack yourself in the face. CBC and I decided to beat the Sunday night blues (otherwise known as 'Going back to school misery') and head down to Southend for Retro Sundays swing dance night. It was in a new venue, an O'Neills and it was a great venue. Lots of old acquaintances from the dance class we attended in Southend were there so it was very jolly and definitely boosted morale dancing. I felt decidedly underdressed, everyone was in dresses and makeup (girls) but who cares, the point was to dance!
I have really enjoyed my half term, we've done lots- swing dancing, pancake parties, walks in Suffolk, dinner with friends, charity-shopped, sorted out electricity bills, wedding album, tidied, hoovered, cleaned, made bread, got up hideously late, had some downtime,reading, eating, relaxing and now it is back to the grind. I just have to think of Ecclesiastes when he says, there is a time for everything in heaven and on earth- a time to work a time to relax (paraphrased) - the nicer part is more appreciated because of the not so nice part. Plus, it is my birthday in a week so I do have something to look forward to. I'm thinking Kiddie-style swimming outing to a place with flumes and waves in Colchester? Good idea???? xx
Now over to the linkin' lovelies:
Perfect Patti for Visible Monday
Terrific Two Birds for Inspiration Monday
Marvellous Maricel for TARDIS Tuesday
Sorry, I have been doing work, the above and stuff today so will try to reply to comments asap.xx
I think it must be wonderful to be a mad Doctor Who woman! I think Maricel has really started something with Tardis blue : . Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday, xo.
ReplyDeleteHa, it's funny, isn't it! I really like having this eccentric link up!x
DeleteThis is really a fun post. I like your creativity and that Proclamation on the future of Bright Blue. Your outfit is perfect and i hope the sun comes out so you can wear those dark sun glasses.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with the 4 Secret Tardis images.
You sure have kept busy. With all that dancing you must be fit as fiddle.
Keep on having fun while you can. It sure beats the blues... (pun intended) hehe.
Hugs,
JB
I wish for the sun and thank you, I like the polaroid template!
DeleteHa, I don't dance all the time, more's the pity- not many people ask me to dance, I have to ask myself and I don't like doing that! Still, I have a willing CBc!x
Ah, I love when outfits have secret Easter eggs, especially when said Easter eggs are TARDIS-related. I have created a monster and I am not ashamed! I tell you, as long as you and I fangirl together on Tuesdays, that's all that matters! You look utterly adorbs and now you've given me yet another inspiration necklace to have made bespoke for me by my Etsy supplier. We are each other's instigators, aren't we? Imagine the damage we could do if we were geographically compatible! ;p
ReplyDeleteI actually bought it from Etsy!
DeleteI wish we lived near each other! A monster, a DOCTOR WHO monster!!! I'm a Doctor Who monster- how flattering!xx
DeleteWhile I adore the headband and death-dealing necklace, a Dr. Who post without tights?!?! Pure madness I say! Actually you look very cute. That blue is a great color for you! And I am very happy to have my name in the post! I always figure I will be forgotten in such things so when I am not it is a cool thing! xoxo
ReplyDeleteNah, you are a regular in the whole scheme of things, thus you have kudos!
DeleteI love wearing trousers but I don't thing they make for a good look to share so I don't wear them much on here- usually skirts!
Yes, I am quite spoiled :)
DeleteGreat outfit and I am in love with the necklace.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed all you packed into your half term.

It's cute isn't it! Etsy!x
DeleteFab necklace there. I don't have anything that shade of blue, nothing whatsoever, so I won't be able to join in with the TARDIS blue party, I'd have to go more character driven :(
ReplyDeleteAh, but you have a vivid imagination! I just happen to love that shade of blue and wear lots of it!x
DeleteTARDIS blue looks great on you! I don't have a single thing in that colour, except maybe earrings … You look great :)
ReplyDeleteWear the earrings- join us in the eccentricity!x
DeleteIt certainly sounds as though you made the most of your half term week, and you always rock some Tardis blue! xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you! I honestly think you lost must think I'm completely mad secretly!x
DeleteBlimey, you'll need another week off after all the fun you've had over half term!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous in TARDIS blue! x
Merci! Yes, I am knackered!x
DeleteOh yes, that sounds like a fabulous way to celebrate your birthday!
ReplyDeleteI thought so too- not enough swimming in my life!x
DeleteHaha! I knew the Tardis would be brought up. It was our way of guilting you into joining again (not really). I love your coat!
ReplyDeleteI knew it! xx
DeleteDear Kezzie, you look adorable, so beautiful with the blue top! And flare jeans, right? I love flare jeans! I had to smile when I saw the necklace that can smash someone's face when dancing :) I know what you mean! Your headband is so beautiful too! I like blue, definitely lifting up my spirit! I couldn't help but including on your list of mid term activities - not pancake parties, but FLIPPING pancake parties! Dancing, walking in Suffolk, all sounds so good, dear Kezzie! I hope you have a great week re-start!

Yes, necklaces can be lethal!! I have broken SO many necklaces getting caught on a door handle when bending down to pick something up- swinging necklace gets caught and SNAP!x
DeleteYour birthday plans sound perfect... I hope that today wasn't too much of a shock to the system. Jx
ReplyDeleteActually, despite being my busiest day, it was pretty good!x
DeleteI love the little pendant - the birthday party idea sounds really fun too; we went for my cousin's birthday last year to a similar place and we had a great time.

I love that pretty shade of blue and the accessories that really accent it. Your comments about the necklace + swing dancing made me laugh. Sounds like fun though!
ReplyDeleteI laughed at your necklace comment that you will garrotte yourself or your partner or smack yourself in the face with it if you dance in your necklace. Bwahaha. I know EXACTLY what you mean. I love your blues.
ReplyDeleteLovely pops of blue Kezzie, love your headband :)
ReplyDeleteThat necklace is fabulous!
