TARDIS Tuesday- Clara in the Rings of Akhaten

Hello there,
TARDIS Tuesday is Clara's outfit from The Rings of Akhaten, her second episode as a main companion. I last wore this outfit in September 2019
Here it is:

It's an All Saints and Urban Outfitters-heavy outfit with the boots and jacket from the former and the dress, necklace and satchel from the latter.

Let's look at the stuff for a change first.
I have upgraded this outfit since I last wore it by the addition of the All Saints denim jacket which I bought for probably a record low price for a Clara fan (£15 inc postage. For a £300+ jacket...pretty good).
My satchel was a charity shop purchase (£2) and my necklace was from eBay.  The boots from TK Maxx.

Here's the outfit, sans jacket.  I obtained the dress reasonably (back in 2019) and I wore it today for helping lead an NQT training course on Assessment. Very nice for a sunny day- it was light and easy to wear for sitting at a computer all day.
I didn't have to travel to school but the whole week is feeling incredibly stressful for me for various reasons (not children, not lessons). I wish I could switch off my brain. When I'm anxious things swirl repeatedly round my head and constantly nag at me. I woke up hideously early this morning stressing about school stuff and couldn't switch my brain off. Hate it.

Here is the entire outfit combined.  It is quite nice to have it to this level of accuracy even though I never intended to buy this jacket, having a perfectly good £2.50 charity shop alt.  However, when I saw the cheap Screen Accurate one, I put in a bid on an impulse.  I never thought for one minute that my one starting price bid would have no competitors.

2 days left at school, one of which involves packing up my entire room at school.  In one afternoon.
I am trying not to panic.

I hope all is well with you.  One nice thing about being at home co-leading the course was that I was able to see CBC through the day as he is on holiday this week (we have different holidays- sob!) and share lunch.

We watched the Snowpiercer finale on Netflix tonight which wasn't good for destressing me as my tummy was in knots all throughout it but it was exciting!

  1. Ooh, I've been meaning to watch Snowpiercer. Good luck with the packing up at school. Deep breaths.

    You look amazing in this, Kezzie! I think 15 is a fantastic price for that jacket.

  2. I love this outfit! But now I feel upset about what happened to Clara in the end. Ahhhhh. This show is so strange but really gets you!

    Hope the pack-up went well!

  3. £15 for a £300+ jacket is very impressive!
    I hate that brain won't switch off feeling. Mine does it at night when I'm trying to fall asleep. There's nothing like early hours of the morning for making me fear the worst about everything!

  4. A fabulous outfit, Cosplay or not. I adore the dress and how wonderful that you managed to get the screen accurate jacket at such a low price!
    Good luck with the packing up of your room at school. I am hearing you on the panicking and thoughts whirling around in your head. I am exactly the same, and have been using Bach White Chestnut flower remedy to some effect. xxx

  5. This is a great Clara outfit. It is not only very accurate but it also looks great on you. The dress is pretty and the boots are really cool as well. A leather jacket is always a good idea. One thing I like about your cosplaying Tardis is how wearable all of these outfits are. Even if you buy something for cosplay, you can wear it so many ways and that's really cool.
    Sorry to hear about the stressful days. I don't enjoy packing either and I imagine that packing an entire room at school must be a lot of work. Sometimes my mind won't stop working either, especially when I'm stressed. Isn't it annoying when that happens. Sometimes music helps me when I'm feeling stressed.

  9. This dress is SO lovely!
    When things get stuck in my head I write it all down, I get proper ranty and I often feel better afterwards. I hope things have been resolved.
