Hi there,
Oof, I'm tired! Went to bed waaaay too late last night after doing some marking I've been putting off as I've got reports to do and need to use the marking for those too. Definitely felt rather ratty at school today.
Today's outfit for TARDIS Tuesday is 11th Doctor companion Amy Pond's outfit from the historical series 5 episode, The Curse of the Black Spot, set aboard a pirate ship.

She begins in a pink and grey Uniqlo checked shirt, worn with a peach-coloured cardigan. She wears a very short fitted denim skirt with hot pink tights and brown knee-high boots.
Later in the episode, Amy dons a tricorn hat, a grey buttoned man's coat and a brown leather strap to hold her cutlass once she becomes part of the crew.
Here's my version:
I wore a similar version of this outfit back in May 2018, 3 years ago but with a few changes.
The first thing I started with was the shirt. My shirt is also from Uniqlo, bought second hand but it isn't exactly the same shirt, though I think it is pretty similar.
I added my pink Primark tights- the pink tights are pretty iconic. I got rid of a lot of my bright tights collection and shared them with bright tights lovers Polyester Princess Ann and Becky as I decided I didn't like them but I kept this pair for this very outfit.
The next element I added was the skirt. I don't have a fitted denim skirt (nor do I want one) but I do have this black Zara skirt which my work colleague gave me when she moved back to Canada 6 years ago. Finally, I added my brown knee-high Italian boots, bought from eYe Boutique in Ilford back in 2009 or so.
I got lots of compliments on the outfit today from colleagues as they don't often see my legs apparently, even though I wear leggings all the time!
When I got home, I added CBC's grey Reiss coat for the above photo but sadly all the Tricorns were in the loft and I annoyed CBC as soon as I got home, apparently with a whinge-fest and ratching in my bag to find my camera, so I wasn't going to ask him to get them out.
If only I had the red hair.
Ah well, better get on with those reports!
Hope you are well.
