TARDIS Tuesday - In the Forest of the Night Clara

I missed TARDIS Tuesday last week, even though I was on holiday, mainly because I kept thinking I would be able to photograph on the Tuesday when instead, I was frantically packing for my trip to Bruges and heading over to my Dad's house that afternoon.

This week (and indeed next week), I am all about the very casual dress down Who outfits.
I've done this one before and not much has changed.
In the Forest of the Night is an episode where Clara is off on a school trip with children from her class but when they leave the museum, the whole of London has grown a forest all over. 
It's all a little unbelievable and tenuous but I like the Environmental message that trees save us. They do so much more than just give Oxygen.

Clara's outfit is a very casual unusual one for her.  It comprises of a grey marl cropped jumper with centre seam from Topshop, a pair of Indigo denim trousers from Just Female (sold on ASOS). She wears black low top Converse trainers and has a camel/yellowy suede jacket slung around her waist. She also has a black leather rucksack.

And here's me. I wore this for a lazy Saturday comprising of going to our Mortgage advisor to fill in the paperwork for our remortgage. Can you believe we're almost owned our house 2 years?!




This is, for me, a quite accurate outfit in the sense of how it appears.
The only Screen accurate item here is the Topshop sweater which I bought for under £5 when I bought it. Lots of Cosplayers dislike this jumper because it is cropped but I quite like it. It works IF you wear high-waisted denim trousers like Clara...which I did!
These jeans are an upgrade since I last wore this outfit. It's very hard to find the actual trousers she wore but ASOS did make some denim trousers/chinos which are incredibly similar. It's hard to wade through pages upon pages of searches to find the correct ones which are distinguished by the fastener at the top of the trousers and the high-waisted look. I was fortunate to find these second-hand for around £7 I believe.  My 'Converse' trainers are also upgraded from last time as I wore my high-top Converse (purchased in Bali in 2006) but rolled down. It was a no-brainer when I found these fake ones in my local Baptist church charity shop for £2.50 to give them a go! They are much easier to get on than my high-tops!
The final two elements of this outfit are my yellow raincoat- not a tan suede jacket and my black leather rucksack...which is actually a TARDIS rucksack but you can't see it!!!

All in all, not really a blog-worthy outfit in the usual terms but in this case, a comfy Saturday outfit which resembles that worn by Clara!

What do you think?

  1. I think it's great - all outfits are blog-worthy, in my opinion (okay, maybe not the wear-around-the-house loungewear!).

    I love that you did a Tardis backpack! How fun! Enjoy your holiday!

  2. Oh, you hipster with your yellow raincoat!
    You're so dedicated to these outfits, it must take hours to find the right thing.
    I can't believe it's been two years since you bought your house, where does the time go? x

  4. Why wouldn't it be blog-worthy? I like it very much and as usual, you look great in your outfit, and it's so real and practical besides.

    How lovely as well, that you could tie it in to your outing to the mortgage advisor :-) Congratulations on your house anniversary! It is quite unbelievable....

  5. Has it really been two years since you bought your house? Time does indeed fly. A blog-worthy casual outfit, which could be a dead ringer for Clara's. Love the yellow raincoat! xxx

  6. This is a great outfit! I love pairing cropped items with high waisted ones, that's the only way to wear them for me.
