Hi there!
I hope you are well. I have had a LOVELY day which I will write about soon only it is TUESDAY and we all know what that means on this blog!
TARDIS Tuesday!
Today, I thought I'd have a go at cosplaying Bill Potts, the most recent Doctor Who companion (apart from the new ones announced for Jodie Whittaker!)
I've actually done this one before- sort of!
It is a briefly-featured outfit from Series 10 scary episode featuring David Suchet, Knock, Knock, in which Bill gets some housemates and moves into the ultimate spooky house!
As she goes to the Estate Agents with her pals, she sports this casual outfit.
I took these photos as I watched it last week so the quality is not great!
She's wearing a Grey vest-top with a French Fries logo, blue jeans, black belt, black cord necklace, a mustardy-coloured tied hair ribbon and some earrings featuring dangly beads, blue feathers and the hippy Peace sign.Oh and she's also wearing some flat black lace-up shoes which I couldn't get a picture of.As I said, last time I vaguely attempted this, I saw it and thought I had items in my house that would work for it.
BUT, today was HOT and I had planned this outfit. There was NO way I was going to be wearing jeans (and let's be honest, that's a bit of a rarity anyway!) so I decided to put my own spin on the outfit- making it a bit more girly and summery.
It's pretty similar to the last time I began this but with more detail.I wore a grey vest-top I bought from Lidl a few years ago when I needed a change of clothes urgently (I always find much-loved items from those moments!) and added to it the Topshop chips patch brooch which was a sale item a few years ago (it came in a pack of six).
I have this mini-denim skirt (also charity-shopped) which I thought was a nice substitute to the jeans and wore a vintage belt of my Mum's (I think!) and wore some blue suede lace-ups from Aldi (also an emergency purchase when at my Father-in-Law's funeral day, I discovered that all I had with me were Doc Martens!)
Detail-wise, I remembered this mustard polka dot wired hair-tie which I bought a few years ago. I love these and have a few of them. They are good for someone who is a bit rubbish at hair. Sadly, I actually lost this today at the seaside! Goodness knows where I dropped it!
The black necklace was a bit of a problem and I was rifling through several boxes before I found this random bit of black cord that was lurking in a hairband box.
The final touch were the earrings. These feather earrings were a gift from the TA who used to help me with choir about 7 years ago. I added 2 Peace-sign pin badges I got with a multipack.
And that is another 'Found in the house' cosplay-slightly better executed than last time.
What do you think?
