TARDIS Tuesday - Clara's glamorous red outfit from The Caretakre

 Hello there.

This week for TARDIS Tuesday, I am featuring yet another outfit from The Caretaker.  I featured one of Clara's two main outfits last week from this episode.  You may be wondering why she wears so many outfits.  Well, the episode begins with a series of flashbacks from Clara's manic double life trying to juggle a full-time teaching job along with dating Danny Pink and running off in the TARDIS for adventures with the Doctor.  Thus, we see a variety of outfits from Clara.

The most dressed up is this one.  Clara is just about to go on a date with Danny Pink and the Doctor arrives in the TARDIS inside her flat.  He persuades her to go off in the TARDIS.  Unfortunately, she turns up to her date with Danny with seaweed in her hair in this outfit.

Let's look at it:

Clara wears this red lacy mini-dress from Kooples along with her Topshop black and gold ankle boots and a silver sparkly handbag on a chain.

I can't seem to get a full shot of Clara wearing the dress from the front so here it on my friend Chrissi's mannequin.


And here's my version of it:

Kooples is a very expensive brand and to be honest, the fitted nature with daring front plunge (though covered in thick lace), means I would probably not pursue the screen accurate dress unless I found it super cheaply- I don't think it would suit my pear-shape.

I found this alternative dress (originally from Oasis) in my local charity shop and I figured for a fiver to charity, it was worth a try.  It's much more my shape as it has a loose skirt but I can definitely see the similarity to the original.  It only JUST fits me- I had to work hard to do it up! 
I have Clara's original Topshop boots which are very smart.  
My sparkly handbag is one I bought for another Clara outfit but realised it would definitely do!

I'd love to wear this out for a smart evening with CBC.  As it is, I just wore it for photos on a Sunday afternoon!
I thought I'd try to do 2 side by sides with the photos I had.



Alas my lighting is a bit different, but it was funny to realise I had a suitable corridor to recreate this photo!

Just for Sheila, here's the STUFF in a closeup!
A rare outfit with no jewellery!


What do you think of this outfit? 

Do you prefer my one or Clara's?

Hope you are well!
