TARDIS Tuesday- Bill Potts outfit from Smile

Hi there,

Hope you are well.

Today, for TARDIS Tuesday, I am returning, for a second time in recent times, to an outfit worn by Bill Potts, companion to the 12th Doctor. As I mentioned 2 weeks ago, Bill Potts' style is quite different from my own regular style but I ended up obtaining one or two of her screen accurate pieces very cheaply so decided to give a few of her outfits a spin!

The outfit featured in her second episode which was entitled, Smile. In this episode, the Doctor and Bill ended up in a place that had robots that spoke with Emojis. They seemed oh-so-friendly at first, but only if you keep smiling!

Let's look at her outfit:

It seemed a bright and happy outfit for what seemed a bright and happy place.
She began with a colour-blocked stripe bodysuit from Topshop. With it, she wore ripped skinny black jeans (poss.also Topshop).  Her feet featured mint green and white hightop trainers from Vans and she had a bleached colour denim jacket from Topshop (mainly tied around her waist).  For accessories, she wore a mustardy-patterned hairbow and a silver guitar necklace.

And over to my version of this outfit. I did a slight variation on this outfit (from promo photos but there are differences) but this is the first time I have put together this outfit


As you can see, I did find the screen accurate bodysuit.  When I was an early teenager (Maybe 12), I had a bodysuit. It came from a shop in Ilford called Bacon's.  It was a marled blue colour with fitted short sleeves. It was really uncomfortable- the bodysuit buttoning up bit. I thought I would wear another bodysuit again but this one is amazingly comfortable and I like the bodysuit buttoning up meaning the top stays where it should (with my pear-shape, often fitted tops end up riding up and sausaging around my smaller waist.
Ripped jeans or skinny jeans shall never grace this body so as usual, we have my black ASOS work trousers.  These are considerably more snug on me than when I first bought them which I am not happy about. I like these trousers and do not want to have to replace them!
Instead of Bill's mint trainers, I wore my black hightop Ash black trainers (Clara shoes).  I added my charity shopped denim jacket (bought for Yaz originally).
I wore a Black floral wired headband (as I LOST my mustard one out on a walk in Brightlingsea in 2020!) I could not locate my silver guitar necklace so I wore a red glittery star instead.

And that's that! Hope you have a good week. As I type this up on Sunday evening (11.30pm eek- better get to bed!!!!! Bang goes that early-to-bed resolution!), I wish you a peaceful week.

  1. It is a gloriously cheerful striped body. I have never found them comfortable to wear. You've interpreted the look really well

  2. Finally catching up, its been a busy summer at this end. As always you manage to rock a variety of different looks and this one really suits you. I'm sorry to read about the teaching hassles, what a pain (i'm moaning on your behalf!!) I hope your first week back is going as well as possible, sending hugs from this end xx

  3. Kezzie, you look awesome in this colourful outfit! I love the rainbow bodysuit. I used to hate them, until I realized...duh, buy them up a size (or two!) so that they're more comfy to snap up!

    My apologies for not being around this week - life has been a bit tough.

  4. I love that rainbow bodysuit, I want one!
    Funnily enough, Liz and I were reminiscing about them the other day. After a few drinks we were usually too squiffy to fasten them after a trip to the loo and were always having to tell each other to tuck our gussets back into our jeans! xxx

  5. That rainbow striped bodysuit is gorgeous, and it looks so much better worn with non-ripped jeans. They will never grace this body either! xxx
