TARDIS Tuesday - Peter Davidson- The Fifth Doctor and 16th Blogiversary!

Hello friends,

I hope you are well.  It's been a while since my last post.  The last week at school was incredibly stressful and unfortunately, the thing that was causing me most stress is still causing me a lot of anxiety as my room is being fitted out with shelves and I'm pretty sure the heights are too high for the kids and the shelves too far apart but I can't change it and I'm feeling really miserable about the whole thing.  It's supposed to be a good thing and it is all going wrong.  It was all last minute and I was in a high state of anxiety about the whole thing and still am. But, I just need to wait and see and try not to stress.

Oh, I had my first Covid vaccine jab today- AstroZeneca.  I was really surprised to get the text from my surgery last Monday inviting me to book my jab- considering I am only just 40, I was incredulous- in my area though, apparently, we are ahead. 

I meant to do an Easter, holy weekend post, but I've not been on my computer all weekend- we did lots of walking and I didn't want to turn it on.

Anyway, onto the main part of my post which is TARDIS Tuesday.

This is one of the more iconic Doctor Who looks- the cricket-clad Peter Davidson is recognisible the world round.  I don't really need to say more about it- you can see all the elements of it.

I am amazed to say that I have only done one version of this outfit before and it was only a 'style inspiration'- you can see it here.  It's bizarre considering I have had all elements in this outfit except the jacket for years.

And here we have my version this time:

I'm quite proud of this one.  You can buy costume versions of this outfit in their entirety but this one is not a custom costume but something I put together.

The outfit began with my Cricket jumper which I bought from a shop about 15 years ago.  It's not a bad match.
The next item, the shirt, was customized for me by the wonderful Ang Almond (she of homemade Dalek fame from my 40th Birthday post)- she embroidered question marks and added red lining to my old school concert shirt (had it since I was 14)- I first wore it back in 2015 here with a 6th Doctor inspired outfit.

Around that time, I made myself a Celery brooch out of Shrink Plastic, as the 5th Doctor wears a piece on his lapel.  It resembles Chard rather than celery. Ooops!

I USED to own a pair of trousers that were very similar to the Doctor's- I had them made in Bali for that purpose but I think they got too tight and I got rid of them.  Luckily, I realised that these Primark trousers (I've definitely had them since I was about 24) would do instead.  They are also too tight so it's luckily the cricket jumper is long.
I just wore my white Adidas trainers- these were donated to me by my stepfather as they didn't fit him properly- luckily we have similar-sized feet!

CBC's Lily White genuine Panama hat (which I bought from Oxfam 7 years ago) was easily customisable with my vintage spotty scarf.

The final item in the outfit is the jacket.  I bought this a year ago from eBay- it's actually a retail jacket from Whistles but it's a dead ringer (although cropped and no piping round the sleeves) for PD's jacket.  It cost me £6.95 inc postage.


Incidentally, I suddenly realise that it is my 16th Blogiversary today! Yep, I've been blogging for 16 years today! Here was my first post.

I hope that all is well with you.

Much love,

Kezzie xx
