TARDIS Tuesday- The Bells of St John's 2- Clara- "Ask me tomorrow!"

Hi there!

Hope you are well.
We've had a day where we went to London to look at Sofas and then an enjoyable Pancake evening at CBC's Brother's flat.

And of course, it is TARDIS Tuesday!

Today's inspiration is Clara Oswald ("Of course!" I hear you cry!) and this is her second outfit from The Bells of St John's where she decides to go with the Doctor.

She wears this interesting outfit consisting of an animal print shirt, a loose-cardigan, navy shorts, the same Aztec eagle necklace from her previous outfit and a tan belt.

There is a lot of speculation over whether this is the dark green version of this cardigan or grey as it appears different in different scenes!
 However, I decided to go with green!  The shirt and the cardie are the same ones- both of them eBay purchases last year. To be honest, I probably wouldn't have chosen to buy the shirt if it wasn't for TARDIS Tuesday but since I managed to buy it for £6.50 (after seeing people sell it for £30 which wasn't going to happen!), I decided to give it a go.   
 I quite like the length of these shorts (£1.99 from Barnados) as they are long enough to feel decent length on my long legs! SO many super short shorts around that I can't really wear.  This is quite a practical outfit that could work for school I think.  A good teachery outfit methinks!
And there is that same necklace from 2 weeks ago!

In other news, we STILL haven't chosen a sofa. It's getting a bit ridiculous but we can't seem to make a decision on it!  We have a table for the kitchen arriving on Friday and one for the dining room in March and we've got someone who is going to fit wardrobes for us in our bedroom at some point soon hopefully plus someone to paint one of the spare rooms with has lots of chipped paint and really grubby stains and blue-tak marks.  My old chest of drawers is being brought over tomorrow so hopefully I'll be able to get clothes put away! I've emptied a lot of boxes of books and put them on shelves so slowly getting there with the house.

I hope all is well with you!

  1. I hate choosing things, there is too much choice it's not healthy! I do like those shorts, such a decent length which makes for easy wearing and appropriety. If that's a word. (spell check says not)

  2. Green is a good choice to go for.
    Very practical for work and it looks smart too.
    I do like your check curtains!
    Would you like the fourth in the Maisie Dobbs series? I had it for Christmas and have read it.

  3. I love the contrast of short with the green cardigan. Much better than grey. The outfit does look practical as well as smart. I'm not good with big decisions, like a new sofa, either ... xxx

  4. Very teachery with your practical shoes, but still interesting too.
    No sofa but a very interesting chest or musical instrument?

  5. I love your outfit and it's very decent as far as I'm concerned.
    I don't believe in rushing to buy furniture. When we started furnishing our home, we used a lot of miss matched pieces and style, some of which we still have. I don't believe in rushing in buying a sofa. When you find one you both like, you'll know immediately. It's a big decision.
    HAPPY VALENTINE DAY. ❤️
    Hugs, Julia

  6. I'm glad you went with dark green cardi. Grey can be a lovely colour choice, but I will typically prefer dark green to grey. Your cosplay outfit is adorable, so well put together. You look lovely!

    I hope you'll find the perfect sofa soon! It's a big decision so taking your time makes sense to me.

  7. Wasn't Clara a teacher too? I lile the length of the shorts, I can never find the perfect length, and at 5'4" my legs aren't particularly long! They're either waaaaay too short, or half way down my knees - what's wrong with a modest mid thigh length?
    Good luck with the sofa, we've given up, although we do have a sofa to sit on, albeit an uncomfy one!

  8. Buying decent length shorts can indeed be a tricky task - you did a grand job with these and the rest of the outfit!
