TARDIS Tuesday- The Girl who died- Clara Oswald's outfit

This is a TARDIS Tuesday I last wore in September 2018.  It is an extremely comfortable outfit for a lazy day or a cleaning day or something of that ilk.
It was worn by Clara Oswald (played by Jenna Coleman) in the episode, The Girl who Died and was a good outfit for having to hide out in a Viking Village in looked cold weather.
She wears a blue denim shirt with red popper buttons from brand, Maje with fitted black trousers (probably jeans).  She wears brown suede boots with straps from Hudson and then, when it gets cold, adds a hessian and brown fur gilet with dark pink trim (no doubt borrowed from a helpful Viking)
Here are some pictures:

And here's my version.  Apologies- the photos are a bit hazy as the weather was very odd.

This time, my outfit is a little more accurate than last time.
I obtained the screen-accurate shirt (with real red buttons!) and the screen-accurate boots. I thought they were too small for me when I first bought them but actually, I must have been wearing really thick socks when I first tried them on as they feel fine now.


Most of my Clara friends have made their own versions of Clara's waistcoat very successfully from some textured beige material and bits of brown fur and pink trimming.  I'd like to make one but not sure where to start really.  So, in place of that today, I wore my vintage sheepskin gilet which I've had for a decade now.  It's nice and cosy for wearing at home though because it is a bit big and clunky, it doesn't really work with any outfits worn in public. I belted it here with my mum's old belt.

What do you think?

  1. Screen-accurate or not, these boots are amazing. How lovely that you were able to find the correct, red-buttoned shirt, and I think you did really well improvising with that sheepskin gilet! xxx
