TARDIS Tuesday- Sarah Jane Adventures- The Revenge of the Judoon

Hey there!

How are you? Well, I hope.  Last week,  a lot of you enjoyed the masculine styling of my 4th Doctor-inspired outfit so I thought I'd attempt another outfit I've had in mind for a while to do.

It is one worn by actress Elisabeth Sladen in Doctor Who Spin-off, The Sarah Jane Adventures in an episode called The Revenge of the Judoon. I've seen this episode but I didn't remember the outfit until I was looking for a picture a month ago or so for my first Sarah Jane cosplay from Invasion of the Bane. I saw this picture which she wears on the DVD cover as well as for this episode. I knew I had nearly all the elements necessary to have a go at this outfit.

You can see the garments here in a Bonhams picture and in the images below:

As you can see, she is wearing a masculine tailored outfit with a bright orange open-collared shirt, brown waistcoat, black skinny trousers, high black boots and a brown leather jacket (it looks brown to me but seems to be grey in other pictures.

And here is my attempt at it:

Let me talk you through my outfit.  

I started with this lovely orange Karen Millen blouse I originally bought second-hand on eBay for a Clara Oswald outfit- I intended to paint it with eyes for her Into The Dalek outfit but couldn't bring myself to ruin it...yet!

I added a pair of ASOS black trousers which were charity-shopped last year in Great Dunmow on a very arduous visit to a Luther to get CBC's cello fixed. Next, I added my River Island brown leather Jacket which is a screen accurate Clara item from Into the Dalek, also bought second-hand and used for several cosplays...hey I just realised, I wore these two items together for the same cosplay HERE.  Very similar....
Next, I added my Ralph Lauren boots which were a birthday present to myself from myself around 5 years ago from TK Maxx.

The last item was the only recently acquired item and it was the brown corduroy waistcoat I bought for £1.50 with Hazel and Sophie on our recent charity shop trip- it was bought with a different cosplay in mind but I realised how appropriate it was!

A very comfy look and I do like the masculine styling of a waistcoat worn over a shirt with trousers. Not sure how keen CBC is on this type of look but I like it!!!

Edited to include a link to the lovely Anna who has some similar top half colour inspiration to me with this outfit with her gorgeous tribute to Ralph Lauren HERE, especially as I am wearing Ralph Lauren boots!!!!

What do you think?
