TARDIS Tuesday- Rory Williams closet cosplay

Today for TARDIS Tuesday, I thought I'd have a go and throwing together an outfit from a Who character using things I had in my wardrobe. Actually, this is a first time for this character for me and is an outfit worn by New Who companion Rory Williams.   He became the husband of Amy Pond and featured in series 5-7 and was played by Arthur Darvill.  The timing is really apt on this post because last night, CBC and I went to see the new West End production of Oklahoma at the Wyndham Theatre and who should be playing main character Curly McClane?  None other than Arthur Darvill!  Another funny coincidence is that the character Curly McClane is in love with is called Laurey Williams. Weird eh?!!?

Another funny comparison is the fact that we went to see Back to the Future, the Musical on Sunday afternoon and Marty McFly wears a really similar outfit in it!

Let's have a look at his outfit in question:

Rory wears a black,red and white checked shirt. Over the top, he wears a navy blue puffed gilet. On his left wrist, a black watch, blue jeans and tan lace-up boots.

And here is my version:

It's quite fun to try something new!

I started with a Uniqlo checked shirt which I bought originally (second hand of course) as an alt shirt for an Amy Pond cosplay.  It's a brushed-cotton flannel and very loose, soft and comfy.

Over the top, I wore a Uniqlo down gilet which I bought (charity shop but brand new) for CBC for Christmas a few years ago.  He took it with him on the Pennine Way and it reminded me that I could use it for this very outfit! For the photos, I stole his watch and wore it for the pictures!

I wore this for a Tuesday at school (today in fact!) I was rather tired after getting home late really late after Oklahoma. It was just the casual, comfy outfit I needed. In this photo, I am wearing my charity shopped M&S Jeans but for school, I wore a loose pair of navy trousers. I changed into the jeans after school! I was rather surprised when one of girls in Year 4 told me my outfit was amazing and she loved it. Not the type of outfit I usually get complimented on! Or one I would usually 'blog' about!

Finally, I added my Legerro boots.  

What do you think?

Hope your day was fun!
