Hello there friends!
Realising I have debuted quite a few new TARDIS Tuesdays this year. 5 already and it's not even April!
Happily, most of these are closet cosplays, e.g. I've looked at my wardrobe and realised I had items already that could work for the outfit rather than seeking any item specifically!
Today is such and outfit and actually, this one has been at the back of my mind for quite a few years!
Let's have a look at it:

Worn by character, Donna Noble in series 4 of Doctor Who alongside David Tennant in Donna's last episode as companion (until last year!)
The entire outfit has been identified here if you are interested but I realised I had potential items that could achieve a rough approximation of the outfit:
I'll start off with my leather jacket. I bought this on a charity shop crawl in Ipswich with Sophie and Hazel. Sadly, Sophie doesn't blog any more (I really miss her) and Hazel is rather occupied with motherhood alongside work.
When I bought this, it actually made me think of Donna's coat although I knew they were very different...buuuut, it gives the general idea! I didn't buy it for that purpose, I bought it because I liked it.
The next item was this Brora cashmere sweater dress which I bought in November in a charity shop. It's a lovely blue colour. I haven't quite worked out how to wear it- I wore it here with my F&F charity shopped denim sailor trousers- you can see their rather obvious waistband showing through the fitted cashmere. Not the most flattering look. Maybe thick leggings would work better as an outfit. I bought it as I thought it would be an excellent Winter garment. Cashmere is always expensive, new or second hand. This was £7.99. Mine is a bit longer and more fitted than hers.
Fun fact about this sweater dress. The original grey one is from Oasis. She also wore a purple version of this dress in another episode. I used to own the purple version bought from Oasis when it was sold there. I had no idea until recently that I actually owned the same Donna Noble dress by total coincidence! Pity I got rid of it!
I didn't have quite the right colour of vest top but I found this charity-shopped pink one to be the most similar match.
Mum's brown leather belt made another appearance!
Do you spot my gold hoop earrings? Ha, reminds me of being a teenager. I bought these in a charity shop for 50p a year ago or so for my Rose Tyler cosplay (which I can't do again as I sold the t-shirt last week!).
My black Clarks boots completed the look. The cross necklace is not part of the cosplay but I wanted to wear a necklace as I always wear one!
I wore this for church on Sunday. Had to add a raincoat as it was pouring as I left!
What do you think of this look? Doesn't totally work but I was happy wearing it! Church ended up being quite chilly in the end!
