TARDIS Tuesday- the coat I'm going to be wearing under my coat all week!

Hello there!

I hope you are well!  

This week, I am featuring an outfit I have worn twice here for TARDIS Tuesday, the last appearance being November 2022, I really like this outfit and it is practical for the weather!

It is worn by Yasmin Khan in Series 11.

https://www.blogtorwho.com/doctor-who-the-tsuranga-conundrum-what-we-learnt-about-the-companions/



It features a navy starry and moon-themed jumper from Maison Scotch, a Barbour (I think) red puffer jacket, blue fitted jeans, Burgundy Brogue chelsea boots from Dune.

Last time I put together this outfit, I wore a purple puffer coat, black trousers and navy trainers together with the same sweatshirt.

What happened this time?



The outfit features a red puffer jacket by Barbour (the Jurby), a sweatshirt by Maison Scotch, some burgundy flatform boots from Dune (Pacey) and some skinny blue jeans.  



Occasion worn:  for church on Sunday. I woke up and discovered it was pouring with rain so I simply added my Seasalt Janome raincoat over the top to keep me dry. It was a good call as I was cosy in my down but dry!  Jeans are not the nicest garment to wear in the rain though. Apart from that, I was lovely and warm at church.  Also helps that I was sat with a radiator directly behind me. Not so good- near the door.  Good- lovely warm cup of tea.  Not good- I was 30mins late! Good- I still went.   Not good- poor friend Jenny fell into a pond on her way to church. I hope and pray she is ok!

Embarrassingly, after church, I cycled straight to the station to buy my train ticket and discovered the ticket office was shut. "Noooo!" I wailed outloud to the window  "Why are you closed??! Are you closed all day or is this just a temporary closure!"   At that moment, the roller blind was raised and there was a ticket sales operator.  Awkward to be caught talking to a window!!! Ah well, I got my ticket so I don't have to contend with all the returning to school/work ticket renewals tomorrow morning when trying to get up in the dark will be arduous enough! I am deeply thankful for this small win!


Am trying to use up some items in our cupboards to make sure we have room. This will include food or toiletries.   Trying to ensure we have fewer duplicate items if possible! If C could do this with honey or chutney, I would be grateful! Waaaaaaaaay too much chutney and honey and jams in the cupboard!

Today- used up 2 tiny jars of strawberry jams so these will clear a little space.  Will try to report on things as I use them up!

What do you think of this outfit? I've decided I am going to wear this down jacket under the raincoat all week- hopefully will keep me cosy during my cold commute!!!

TARDIS Tuesday- Into the Dalek

 Today's TARDIS Tuesday is one I haven't worn on here since May 2020- that's right, since LOCKDOWN!

It was worn by my original favourite, Clara Oswald, as acted by Jenna Coleman.

In this series 8 episode, she wore a rather creepy outfit comprising of an orange silky shirt covered in blue eyes from a Hong Kong brand called Shalex, indigo high-waisted denim trousers from Just Female, River Island brown/tan high-heeled brogue boots, a brown leather jacket and gold double ring necklace plus a tan satchel.

She discards the jacket for a lot of the episode so I will too!

Here I am!

If you've been here a long time, you may recall that this top was adapted for me by my amazing friend and superb prolific blogger, Ang Almond! I found a red eye-print tunic from a brand called Vera and Lucy and Ang transformed it into this blouse. It's a very striking piece, if, a little creepy!

My jeans were from ASOS and are the absolute closest alternative you can get to the real trousers.  They are really comfortable as they are soft and flattering, I think! Plus, they fit me really well, unlike most jeans!
The final item which you can see are these grey brogue boots.  They are the same brand and model as the originals except that they are suede and grey rather than leather and tan! 
I tried to recreate several of Clara's poses in my original post  and wore my leather jacket and satchel (that brown leather jacket I wear for practically every Yasmin Khan post!) but this time, I decided to go with the look without the jacket.  My hair is a better length this time- last time it was long and scraggy!!!

I had a lovely moment last week.  I was waiting with the year 4 children to speak to a parent and all of a sudden, I was incredulous to see the mum of a pupil of mine that left about 9 years ago! I called and like me, she was overwhelmed with joy to see me!  We had an absolutely massive hug (you know the type where you are so excited to see someone and someone you really liked as a person!) .  It turns out she is the aunty of a boy in Year 5 (I had no idea!) I haven't seen her for about 9 years.  She was a lovely lady who is Muslim and who bought me the beautiful hand-carved nativity scene which was made in Bethlehem as a present! It still sits in my living room as it is so beautiful We always used to talk when her son was at school.  Her son was a really good musician. To my delight, she told me he was still playing the piano, aged 20, and had achieved his Grade 8 piano and still very much loved music!  We had another massive hug and then she had to go.  Honestly, it made my day to see her!

On the subject of lovely visitors, on the first day of term, one of my lovely year 6's (the Sad Frog crew), burst into my music room at the end of the day to see me. "I missed you!" we both said to each other with a big hug. She said she'd taken Sad Frog child on holiday! It was so lovely to see her.  The next day, I had another bursting into my room visitor- another of Sad Frog's biggest fan!  She also took her Sad Frog child on holiday.  I asked her if she wanted to borrow a book that I kept telling her about and she was delighted to borrow! She came back the next day to return it, having read it in 24 hours!  She took another one!

Hope all is well with you!

TARDIS Tuesday- Sarah Jane Smith Closet cosplay from Revenge of the Slitheen

 Hi there,

Hope you had a marvellous bank holiday (in England) and a great weekend anywhere else.

I had a lovely time yesterday (well, today, as I write this!) singing at the recording at my old school. It was amazing to see so many people.  Out of my year group from A'level, the 3 people I hoped would be there, were there- Kat, Ish and Tom and it was so nice to catch up with them! In addition, I saw other lovely people from other years including people I didn't expect to see.

It was amazing to sing with so many other people.  During the second recording, as we sang the final note of the cantata (top G# for us sopranos), I found myself crying-such was the emotional joy of singing. These beautiful songs really do capture the heart.

Our music teacher was at that school for forty years and he inspired so many singers (and instrumentalists) and it's so sad to hear that music, since he left, has met such a demise, he really was and is special and we count ourselves so lucky to have lived in an era of such inspiration. It makes me realise, even more, how important what I am doing is, even though I can only keep the children till they are 11... we need more and better music in secondary schools and less objection to music.

As we were talking to my teacher, post recording, I told him, we really do love you, and I could see that meant a lot to him.  The lovely thing is... we are going to do a Christmas performance of these songs too! So we have something to look forward to!

Anyway, enough of me being soppy and sentimental, onto TARDIS Tuesday.

In my January TARDIS Tuesday cosplans post, I've already used two of them as inspiration and today, I am sharing no.3. 

This is a Closet Tuesday, meaning, I have gathered together items I already owned and didn't buy for this particular outfit.

Let's look at the inspiration with comes from Doctor Who Spin off, The Sarah Jane Adventures, starring Elisabeth Sladen. The episode in question was

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1030453/

You can see clearly what the outfit is made up of. All of it is currently unidentified!
Here's my version, using the closest items I had.






I started with two tops I've had for a looooong time. In fact, I've owned these since before I was married. The top came from Whitestuff and the red vest came from Cath Kidston.
My jeans were charity-shopped M&S a couple of years ago. I first used these for a Yaz Khan cosplay but they have proved very useful! My ancient eYe Italian boots worked for this cosplay too!
I'm not 100% sure this is the most flattering look (not least because I hadn't ironed anything!)  but it was comfy. I did consider wearing a white belt with this look..or a white ribbon, but decided to keep it simple!

Tonight, I have my first rehearsal with my regular orchestra since March. Hurrah!
Hope all is well with you!x

TARDIS Tuesday Closet Cosplay- Donna Noble- Journey's end

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:



https://badwolfcloset.tumblr.com/post/62344369943/donna-noble-series-4-episodes-12-13-the

https://www.blogtorwho.com/journeys-end-more-promo-pics/

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!

TARDIS Tuesday- Sarah Jane Adventures Multiple appearance outfit

Hello friends!

I hope you are well.

Today's TARDIS Tuesday is a mixture of two fairly recent cosplays I shared on here worn by Classic and New Who companion, Sarah Jane Smith, played by the late Elisabeth Sladen. You can see them here and here (where my hair was the perfect length!)

The great thing about this cosplay is that it was worn by the character in multiple episodes AND the separate pieces were worn in other episodes too!

The main three episodes the whole outfit featured were: 

Day of the Clown, the Curse of Clyde Langer and Enemy of the Bane

Let's have a wee look at it!



All  images come from Gretchen's amazing Sarah Jane blog- 

https://sjscloset.livejournal.com/1750.html


https://sjscloset.livejournal.com/10722.html

It's easy to break this outfit down:

Turquoise/pale blue Joseph collared jersey top, Karen Millen pinstripe waistcoat with fake lapels, dark washed jeans, knee high boots.


I really like Sarah Jane's outfits from the Sarah Jane Adventures as they are really smart, have an overall idiosyncratic appearance and work well for school, particularly for performances. I last wore this waistcoat for the Royal Albert Hall concert last year.

And here's my version: 


As you may have realised, I decided to try and imitate Sarah Jane's poses from the stills above.  These outfits as as screen accurate as I can manage as the top half of the outfit has only been IDed- not that I'd be worried about obtaining screen accurate boots or jeans!  FYI, my boots are my eYe boutique ones bought well over 17 years ago- they've been reheeled and the zip refitted.  The jeans are my Clara Into the Dalek ones. They are from ASOS and really comfortable.

The Karen Millen waistcoat has a great back view- I'm planning to wear this outfit on Wednesday for the Primary Choir of the Year competition which I am taking my year 5-6 choir to perform at. If people are going to be seeing at my back view, they might as well have a nice outfit detail! Not, I hope, that they will be paying any attention to me. I will, instead, be wearing a pair of Black pinstripe trousers instead.

The Joseph top is really soft and easy to wear.  It had a really high RRP price as Joseph is a designer brand but luckily I bought mine for about £6.00!

That's a bible in my hand! It matches her book well.
This particular bible has a lovely story to it. When I was studying in Bali, I was craving English reading material.  I mentioned to one of my friends online, that I wish I had brought a Bible with me and my lovely friends Rob and Amy bought one and sent it to me in Bali. I worked my way through most of the Old Testament which I hadn't done before.  Leviticus was hard going!


I'll keep you posted on the Choir of the Year competition. This round is to try and gain a place in the Final in April!

TARDIS Tuesday- Sarah Jane Smith

For TARDIS Tuesday this week, I thought I'd pay a visit to one of the Doctor Who Spin-offs, The Sarah Jane Adventures, featuring Elisabeth Sladen as journalist, Sarah Jane Smith.

In this wonderful children's series which ran for 5 series until Lis Sladen died, she had a trademark look of a blouse or collared top worn with a waistcoat, trousers or jeans and knee high boots.  Often, there would be an All Saints jacket too.

I recently started watching it as it came back onto BBC iPlayer...I'd started watching it a couple of years ago but it was taken off in the middle of my viewing it! 

There were a couple of looks I really liked so I thought I'd have a little bit of a search to see if I could recreate one or two of my favourite looks..


https://www.theanneboleynfiles.com/lady-jane-grey-stars-in-the-sarah-jane-adventures/


https://sjscloset.livejournal.com/tag/waistcoat

A wonderful Instagrammer and cosplayer called @GretchenSews created her own blog of IDing and documenting all of Sarah Jane's looks and when reading her blog, I realised there was one item which would be brilliant for creating lots of her outfits as it was worn in loads of episodes...her Karen Millen pinstripe waistcoat.  It seemed a item that would be easy to identify due to the backpanels of grey and the lapels. I also thought it would be a great item to have for an easy way to smarten an outfit for school or concerts.  I had a search and saw a few for lots of money but then found one on Vinted in my size for £15.  I also managed to find a top by Joseph for £5 which was pretty similar to her Joseph tops worn in multiple episodes in multiple colours.

Here's my outfit:



I am super pleased with this outfit. It looks really smart but chic and I feel sassy in it!

I started with the aforementioned waistcoat and top (I would love to find her turquoise one) and added my charity-shopped Per Una jeans as well as my eYe Boutique much-beloved, recently mended boots.

If I change the trousers, this would be a great school outfit!

Hope all is well with you.

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:

https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/134474738861507550/

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.
https://carboncostume.com/rory-williams/




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!

TARDIS Tuesday- Fluffy and Cosy Yaz Khan

 Hello there!

I sometimes wonder which season is more difficult for TARDIS Tuesday- Winter or Summer? I think probably Summer so I am glad I have some cosy Winter cosplays to wear for these posts!

The one I am sharing today is a favourite- it is Yaz Khan's first civilian outfit in her debut episode, The Woman who fell to Earth.  This will be the second time I have featured it- the first time being in January 2021- the first week of online lessons!

It was the PERFECT outfit for a VERY frosty day spent at home and doing some shopping in town!

Let's look at the inspiration:



It features a lovely beige, fluffy, hooded teddy coat from Zara, an unidentified pink wool sweater with a simple collar, blue jeans, burgundy leather gloves and Dune Pacey boots in Burgundy
The only identified items from the outfit, as far as I can remember are the Zara coat. I obtained mine for £12, secondhand from Depop and it is my favourite Car journey coat- it is light but cosy- like wearing a furry blanket. I wore it last time I wore this outfit.  

The other item I wore last time was the pink sweater- it was £4 second hand and is very soft.  I don't know where her real jumper is from!

The new elements for me, this time at least, were I have obtained the other identified element- The Dune Pacey flatform brogue boots and that pair of comfy blue jeans from M&S that I mentioned obtaining a few weeks ago.  

My hair was still wet in the picture- I just washed it! I realise I did my side-plait on the wrong side.
Oh, I wore my wool burgundy gloves for the picture! I don't have leather ones but these ones that were a present work perfectly well.I could only find one of them and then suddenly thought to check a handbag which has hats in- there it was!

I went to town with CBC, who isn't very well, to try and buy a sweater for my sister but they didn't have it in stock. I bought lots of vegetables, a top in the Salvation Army, a couple of books and bits in the Barnardos and in Wilkos, we picked up a mini Christmas tree for £12 and a new shower Squeegie! We had a brief late lunch in a nice little tea room.

When we got home, I hung some washing, did a bit of tidying, finished off yet another recycled Christmas craft and read a little.


Did I tell you about the Instagram competition I won? 

Last Christmas, I won a £50 book voucher for my favourite Northumbrian book shop. I bought children's books for school!

This year, I have won a complete set of books by Robin Stevens, author of the Murder Most Unladylike series,  which I entered to try and win for my school library! They are her own personal author copies! They are not pristine she says, but author owned!  I'm excited to read the latest one which I haven't read yet!!  Can't wait for them to arrive!

Hope you are well!

TARDIS Tuesday- Yaz Khan's outfit in the Tsuranga Condundrum

For TARDIS Tuesday this week, I needed a cosy, comfy outfit for a cold, rainy Saturday! I knew just the one that hasn't had an appearance on here for two years.

Last featured in December 2020,  I am featuring an outfit worn by Yasmin Khan in a series 11 adventure called The Tsuranga Condundrum. It was set mostly on board a space hospital ship. Yaz was dressed for being outside on a salvage planet. The 4 travellers accidentally step on a mine and get severely injured so they are picked up and taken on board a space hospital towards Tsuranga. Unfortunately, the TARDIS has been left behind and a sinister creature which eats all known matter has somehow got on board and is very hungry. It's a silly episode but quite entertaining.

Let's look at the outfit:



https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06q81wy/p06qls32
https://www.blogtorwho.com/doctor-who-the-tsuranga-conundrum-what-we-learnt-about-the-companions/



It features a navy starry and moon-themed jumper from Maison Scotch, a Barbour (I think) red puffer jacket, blue fitted jeans, Burgundy Brogue chelsea boots from Dune.

Last time I put together this outfit, I wore a purple puffer coat, black trousers and navy trainers together with the same sweatshirt.

What happened this time?


The outfit has changed a bit.

Let's start from the top. I am still wearing the screen accurate Scotch and Soda sweatshirt which is lovely quality and extremely comfortable.

I acquired a burgundy down-filled puffer jacket from Barbour, second hand. It is immensely soft and comfortable. Not 100% screen accurate but gorgeous to wear!

There are not many good photos featuring the outfit clearly in its entirety,but I decided to try to recreate some of them.

You might notice I am actually wearing blue jeans. They are relatively skinny-ish. For me, anyway.

I have real issues with jeans and my shape. The only ones that usually work for me are more wide-legged and high-waisted. The ones I have are indigo.

However, I was in the Baptist charity shop on Saturday morning and I noticed this pair of M&S blue jeans in size 10 that had elasticated sides at the waist. They were skinnier than my usual jeans but not skinny jeans and also slightly thinner, softer material than regular jeans.

For £3, I decided to give them a go and I was really pleasantly surprised. The elastic means they fit my waist. Admittedly, they are a bit too short for for my long legs. However, I really don't care about this. Teenage Kezzie would be howling at me right now- it was the ultimate faux pas to wear jeans that were too short and I always had issues finding them long enough for my legs. Tough, little Kezzie, tough!

I was doing some lovely Christmas crafts involving cardboard on Saturday night and I couldn't resist having a go at recreating whatever this thing is!!!
I had a blanket on my knees in the kitchen and thought I'd just recreate this photo.

You can see my boots peeping out. I obtained the Screen Accurate Pacey boots in Burgundy a while back so these complete the outfit.

It's funny how bright red her coat looks in lots of the photos but how dark in others!


What do you think? Would you wear any parts of this outfit? Too boring for you?

TARDIS Tuesday- Yaz Khan's outfit from Fugitive of the Judoon

TARDIS Tuesday today features current companion, Yaz Khan in THE best episode of Doctor Who series 12, Fugitive of the Judoon. It was such an exciting episode with so many big reveal moments!

Here's a collage of screenshots I've done of Yaz's outfit:

It features her ubiquitous leather jacket with lapels, indigo skinny jeans, her Dune brogue Chelsea boots and a leopard-skin chiffon blouse.  Her hair is done in 2 French plaits at the side.

Here's my version:

Everything in this outfit, except the blouse/shirt, have been worn before for various cosplay outfits, especially worn by Yaz- my Clara leather jacket, the same Dune boots but in an alternative black patent version.

My leopard print shirt was second hand from H&M- I don't know if it is screen accurate, but it looks pretty similar.


I'm not 100% sold on this blouse- it's a bit 'Pat Butcher' to me, it's the colours of it, but since it was only £3.00, I gave it a go.  I quite like the way this outfit looks even if it is not ubiquitous Kezzie! I think the jury is out on this one.


Hope you had a good day.  

My Monday was a good one in terms of lessons- the children worked hard and enjoyed their lessons and I was quite touched when one of the Year 5 girls trusted me enough to come and ask me if I had some feminine care products she could use as she said her period was quite heavy. Luckily, I was able to oblige, as I had something in my cupboard just in case. Meeting after school was tiresome.

Style Imitating Art- The Counting Lesson by Albert Huie

Hi there,

Here's my latest outfit for Style Imitating Art with Daenel.

Her choice this week was The Counting Lesson by Albert Huie

Here's why she chose it:

February is Black History Month, so, it only seems fitting that the first inspiration piece is by a Black artist. One of the founding tutors of the Jamaica School of Arts and Crafts, Albert Huie was a Jamaican artist who exhibited around Jamaica and the United States. As a painter, he was known for his landscapes, but often painted portraits as well. Influenced by Rastafarianism, Garvyism, and cultural nationalism, many of his paintings expressed sociopolitical themes and showed images of manual labor. To learn more about Huie, click here.

It's a beautiful painting and it has lots of interest in it. You can go literally with the girl's outfit or go with the background colours or details.
I decided to go with the former. and here's my outfit:


I decided to start with a charity-shopped polka-dot t-shirt from Tu at Sainsbury's. I've often talked about my liking for Tu garments, most of which I have charity-shopped. I mentioned buying this back in November and this is its first outing. I could have gone with brown trousers but decided to just stick with a limited-colour palette.  My nod to the red bow is the red bead necklace and a hair ribbon.
A final touch was my red bow socks. I have 2 pairs of these which bought from Primark a few years ago.
It's not the interesting of outfits but I like its simplicity.

Head over to Daenel's blog on Wednesday to see the round up.
