TARDIS Tuesday- Clara Oswald in The Caretaker

Hi there,

I missed TARDIS Tuesday for the last couple of weeks due to lack of organisation and no obvious ideas about what to wear but I'm back this week with an old favourite updated and upgraded.  I last dressed up as this iteration of Clara in July 2018 here and originally back in around 2014-17 sometime...can't find the post.

Let's have a look at it:

Clara wears a very Topshop-heavy outfit here for her day at school during The Caretaker, series 8.
She wears a cream diamond-print shirt with black scalloped shorts and a green mac with Checked lining.  In addition, she wears a split triangle necklace in silver and gold and then wears black wing-tipped heels from Dune and a black satchel from Urban Outfitters.

And here's the 2021 iteration of it:


Pretty sure I could have found a similar background in my school but alas, I was wearing this on a Saturday!

It's been upgraded in 4 ways since last time.
 but what is the same?

Well, the blouse!  It was my first Screen accurate Clara Oswald item and it will always been a bit special for me.
And everything else has been upgraded.
Let's start with the shorts.  I had the screen-accurate ones but they were Very Tight.  Luckily, I managed to sell them and found a size larger, a 12, so they are a *little* bit more decent and feel more comfy.

I added my Screen Accurate Dune brogues which I bought a couple of years ago but didn't have last time I wore this outfit.  They're quite a rare item so this is satisfying!

The final item visible in this outfit is the satchel. I have the same satchel but in brown and again, I count myself as lucky as managing to have bought this at a reasonable price- I saw someone flogging it at £60!
In this picture, you can see the final new addition which is the necklace.  It is pretty similar to the screen version but mine is split into 3 pieces rather than 2 and cost me £2 from eBay.


As is often fun to do, I tried to recreate a few poses including the watering can one where Clara is spying on the Doctor talking to her boyfriend Danny.
I think I actually might have a screen accurate plant as they look quite similar  but sadly, this is not berry season so most of them had fallen off. Watering can is also a different colour, ha!

Hope you are well!

  1. This is a great look on you, regardless of whether it's screen-accurate (but I know it feels great when it is!). I love how good shorts look on you, Kezzie! I laughed out loud at your watering can shot! Love it!

  6. A gorgeous outfit, with our without the Clara reference. I'm loving those scalloped shorts and the diamond print shirt is delightful. I had a good giggle at your poses, and obviously there had to be one with the watering can. Fancy having the screen accurate plant :-) And I giggled too when both Vix and Angela admitted to having the screen accurate watering can! xxx

  7. Those shoes are super smart! I think if I went into work with shoes that smart, my colleagues would do a double take. Love it when you recreate the TV stills Kezzie - the watering can one is spot on :) Lulu x
