Hi there,
Today's TARDIS Tuesday was one I attempted on March the 9th 2015- so I think 5 years is a suitable amount of time to leave it before reattempting it again!
Here's the inspiration. In what is frankly one of the most beautiful Doctor Who stories, the 11th Doctor and Amy Pond meet Vincent Van Gogh after seeing something sinister in the window of one of his paintings. If you want to watch it, if you are UK-based you can watch it here.

Amy wears a beautiful teal coat by Jasper Conran. Underneath it, she wears a dark red v-neck top together with a loose-weave red scarf. On her bottom half, she wears a frankly obscenely short denim shirt and brown knee-high boots.
Hard to see, but she wears a small gold A initial necklace and a tan bronze-buckled belt which I can't see in any pictures.

And here's my version:
I have to say that when I came downstairs in this, CBC asked me, "Why are you dressed like a tart?"
Firstly, I never use language like that to describe anyone, so I demurred but I take his point that it is all a bit SHORT! If I wasn't at home in lockdown, I would have added black leggings to this to make it a bit more appropriate for going out in public.
Most of this outfit was given to me or borrowed.
Let's go through it.
The coat, for the eagle-eyed and those with good memories, is CBC's Newt Scamander coat which I wore for World Book Day 2019. Not the charity-shopped velvet jacket I wore last time which I redonated.
The jumper and skirt were both given to me back in 2014 by my Canadian work colleague when she returned home and needed to get rid of things. I do not own a denim skirt- so you get black. The jumper is the wrong shade of red. I do have a top in the right shade but the neckline is wrong. Oh well- maybe I'll wear it the next time I wear this outfit, for variety.
The scarf was one I bought for £1 in one of those cheapy clothes shops- I have it in bright green too- they were bought back in 2010 or so, so a long time ago!
The belt is one of my Mum's that I found in a drawer in my old house.
The penultimate item (except for my suitcase which once housed Sarah Nelson Grasmere Gingerbread) are my brown Italian leathers boots, bought from eYe Boutique in Romford in about 2008. The area by the zips at the side is very flaky and old now but the rest of the boots are perfect still, which is super annoying.
The final detail is the necklace. I don't have an initial necklace, but I have this gold necklace which sort of emulates an A shape so I wore that.
What do you think?
