As always, TARDIS Tuesday is an interpretation of something from Doctor Who, rather than having to be an exact cosplay (much as I love those!) so I am demonstrating here, with a bit of context and a certain degree of tenuous rhetoric, you can link an outfit to Doctor Who that you might not otherwise realise was inspired as such.
I bought a delightful paisley and floral purple tunic in a charity shop in Ipswich with 2 blogging friends (ahrgh, I WILL blog about that soon!) and it suggested to me that it had a Peri Mindwarp vibe to it.
Of course, it was a floral garland kind of day, so I matched that in too. Peri wore some sort of purple beaded headband in another episode which I can't find the reference for right now.
Yes, I know that it isn't really THAT Peri-ish! But you know, I was inspired!
Now it's your turn. Been at the fancy dress box again and worn a Panama, fez or Fedora, been wearing a cricket jumper, stripy scarf or been at Clara's Topshop collection!? Or perhaps you've sported some TARDIS blue in your outfit post. Come and join Maricel, TARDIS Tuesday founder and me, her humble assistant (rather like the Doctor and his companion! Ha, that makes me Clara!)
with TARDIS Tuesday.
You've lost me on the Doctor Who characters - I barely registered Colin Baker's incarnation, I'm afraid, and haven't the foggiest idea who Peri is, but I do know that your tunic dress is very pretty and the colours and print are lovely! xxx
ReplyDeleteYou look darling! I love your floral crown!
ReplyDeleteOh, my stars! Did you just reference me as the Doctor? And you my companion?! Giddy fangirl jig! And yes, although I may not be familiar with original Who characters like Curtise, I second her comment that your dress is aces. I'm loving the boho vibe right now and this outfit is right up my alley!
ReplyDeleteI love your tunic dress and have major hippie clothes envy here! Wouldn't Vix's purple Docs look great with that? Also, I am crazy about your necklace. I was a child of the seventies. I would have worn something like your tunic and then along came the 80s when I was a teen and devastated me with its shoulder pads and plastic baubles in bright colours. I failed miserably at big hair.
ReplyDeleteI had never seen nor heard of Dr Who until I was at university, I suppose moving to a city and having access to cable channels and watching things late at night was a very big change for me. There were re-runs of the Tom Baker episodes so he was my first Dr and thus the standard I held any others to. We got the David Tennant episodes here years later and then no more were available, at least to me and my pitiful selection of tv channels. Now I don't have tv at all but could probably find them online. I forget to look. For awhile I watched and liked Torchwood too.
Babble babble blether blether... I shall stop now. You look lovely as always, dear Kezzie.

I think I'll have to get my younger niece on board with this one over the summer. She's almost as big a fan of the series as you are and will be my consultant...! Jx
ReplyDeleteLove your tunic dress and the flowered hair band is beautiful :)x
ReplyDeleteI don't know her but i think you look gorgeous! Shawna's right, my purple Docs would go well with your outfit, if we were the same shoe size I'd let you have them! xxx
ReplyDeleteI didn't start watching Doctor Who until the Christopher Eccleston/Bilie Piper ones!
ReplyDeleteLoving the floral headband. Are those real flowers?!
Great outfit!
ReplyDeleteRe your comment on my 30 days wild blog... have you managed anything for day 1 and 2? I'm finding it hard to decide what to do each day when I'm surrounded by 'wild' so it must be difficult in a city, but then I also think you have a much smaller scale to work with so things are narrowed down for you, if that makes sense?! It must be really hard fitting it in with school too.. remember it doesn't have to be anything big though. Here are a couple of ideas I've just thought up for you - I'll try to think of some more and I'll look in all my fun nature books and see what I can find to help you out.
~ take a camera to your garden / local park / school field ... and see if you can photograph five different flowers. You could do that for three days in the three locations and then do the three locations again and see if you can find five bugs / five birds / five trees... the possibilities are endless I guess!
~ You could try to photograph a natural rainbow over a week - find something red for the first day and so on - something in nature I mean, of course
~ put a bird feeder in the garden and then spend 15 minutes seeing what visits at the weekend
~ Hug a tree!
~ make a natural artwork - you could do it in the gaden
~ walk a path you haven't walked before
~ drink your cup of tea in the garden
and there's cloud spotting of course!
I hope that helps a bit... will have to see what else I can come up with!
Hi, yes I have done two of your ideas yesterday and today bit literally only for 5minutes, thanks for the ideas, will try to do the flower thing. I thought is share 5butterflies with the KS2 kids in singing assembly tomorrow so they can name ones they might see where we live thanks to reading your first post ideas. I wish I.still had the tree, flower identification book we had when I was a child.
Delete5 minutes is ok - I think just doing something is the important thing - whether you have 5 minutes or a whole day! I think it's great you can share this with the children a little too - I can't do anything at my school, there's no room for the slightest deviation from the lessons and no one there is interested in nature at all :(
DeleteThat dress is so lovely! What a great find that was. And your crown is so adorable. Very beautiful lady! xo
ReplyDeleteAll Things Bright and Lovely
Lovely outfit - I liked Peri too, she was the perfect foil for Colin Baker's waspish, acidic Doctor.
ReplyDeleteBTW, my first Doctor was Tom Baker!
Such a pretty top and the necklace too. Pretty summery colours.
ReplyDeleteLisa x
I don't remember Peri at all - but I love your top ... and the necklace is fab :)
ReplyDeleteAww looks fab! I have to admit I looked at this as a possible for you but you'd picked it up before I could show Sophie...
ReplyDeleteThat dress is absolutely fabulous... I love the kimono feel to it and the floral print is obviously beautiful!!! you look fantastic dear, the floral crown adds a bit of hippie vibe...great interpretation of dr.who's character. I only ever watched a few shows of this series, so I'm not familiar with miss perpugilliam. There is this blogger Rosalind, whose grandmother starred in one of the episodes of dr. who and played the president of the Earth. I found that information fascinating...I would love to take a look at some of those old episodes, just to see what they were like.
ReplyDeleteI like your flowers! I only remember Tom Baker, and the blond fellow who played Tristan Farnon. And then suddenly I was 50 and David Tennant was all the rage!
