TARDIS Tuesday- The Eaters of Light

I actually wore this for TARDIS Tuesday last week AND didn't photograph it. And the whole outfit could be worn again so I wore it this week.

I wore it for TARDIS Tuesday at SOME point in the last 5 years but can't, for the life of me, find the post! How vexing!

It is one of Peter Capaldi's 12th Doctor outfits from his final season and featured in a historical meets aliens called The Eaters of Light.

It's not particularly exciting but a great outfit for Winter!

Capaldi wears a black paint-splattered sweater from Zara plus a navy hoodie, velvet coat, black chinos and black boots.

Here's my under-layer. Featuring the Screen accurate Zara sweater which is 2 sizes too large for me but is super comfortable.

I teamed it with my black Seasalt trousers and Clarks boots.

I decided to forego the black jacket and navy hoodie and combined these into my navy corduroy G Star coat.

As I've mentioned, it's not a super 'costumey' outfit, but one that was perfect for COLD days!

Hope you have had a good day.

TARDIS Tuesday- Jon Pertwee's 3rd Doctor in The Time Warrior

Hi there!
Hope you are well.
I thought, for a change, for a TARDIS Tuesday, I would dress as one of the original Doctors.  I have done this before HERE back in 2013- in fact this outfit, but slightly different- only the jacket is the same.

So, in an episode called The Time Warrior, where he meets Sarah Jane Smith for the first he wears an olive green velvet smoking jacket, white ruffle-fronted shirt, a greeny/grey bow tie and some black trousers.

The ruffle-fronted shirt is quintessential Jon Pertwee for me- he was indeed a Dandy in Doctor Who.

And here is my version:

I should point out that most of the outfit is charity-shopped and not for the purpose of this outfit.

Let's start with the jacket.  I bought this Per Una Olive-green corduroy  jacket from a charity-shop well over 12 years ago and it has proved really versatile. I remember CBC being very envious of it when we first met.  It's not as long as his but then it is a female shape.

The trousers are a pair of ASOS trousers I charity-shopped not so long ago, a few months and they were brand-new with tags and I have worn them lots already- at least 10 times if not more.

My brown men's brogues are the only brand-new item here- they come from the men's section of Clarks- where size 8 shoes are significantly cheaper in the sale.

The one piece I DID buy with Jon Pertwee in mind is the Boden ruffled shirt.  I saw it in a charity-shop a few months ago and thought, "Oooooooooooooooh, that is LOVELY and looks very Jon Pertwee!!"

Look at those ruffles!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But, I do worry about whether my ironing skills are up to it once I wash it. I am going to have to wash it since I spilt Indonesian Soto Ayam (which has Tumeric in it! AHGHGHGH!) down it on Sunday at the Indonesian Embassy!

The bow-tie is also second-hand but it came from a vintage shop in Hexham that I always feel sorry for and worry it will close down!  It is an amazing labyrinthine building with so many sections to peruse!

And there we have it- my first male TARDIS Tuesday in quite a while?

What do you think?
