Style Inspiration: Tom Baker

in·spi·ra·tion/ˌinspəˈrāSHən/

Noun: 

The process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, esp. to do something creative: "flashes of inspiration".


From the second I skip on to the fourth Doctor .. Tom Baker. I finally had the get up and go to go under the bed and raid the vacuum bag that holds Andy's RN uniform, to retrieve a couple of items that were required for me to do this. I cannot quite believe that I did my last Doctor in November! How time flies.

I thought this was going to be an easy one as I have many an item similar and I have curls - huzzah! But then I also thought Jon Pertwee was going to be a breeze and we all know what happened there.

So what did I need?

CURLS
Check!

A HAT

I have a hat, sadly not like Tom's, his is delicious, mine is merely fabulous.

A SCARF

I have many, many scarves but none the right colours, but I do have two long scarves, one black and white and one pastel stripes, which I purposely knitted extra, extra long so I could have a camp Doctor Who scarf.

WHITE SHIRT

Check.

BURGUNDY COAT

I was very lucky here, as my winter coat is a double breasted red coat, but mine has a 'furry' collar. People stop me all the time to compliment this coat.

GREY (CHECKED) TROUSERS

I own two pairs of trousers and rarely wear either, mainly because one pair are white pinstripe and not very practical and the other pair are black pinstripes and the zip broke ages ago and I am not brave enough to try and replace it.

BLACK BOOTS OR BROWN HIGH BOOTS

I do not have high brown boots.

OPTIONAL WAISTCOAT/KNITTED TANK TOP/CRAVAT

I do not have a waistcoat .. or a knitted tank top .. or a cravat.

But Andy does have a waistcoat .. and a vintage knitted sleeveless cardi which would do very well as a tank top .. and he has a vintage cravat too.

So, how did I do? Hmmmm?

I am so annoyed that I didn't refresh my lipstick .. botherment.

Obligatory wide eyed Tom Baker pose.

I doff my hat to you madam. Behold the hat hair.

Trying to get a full length shot was harder than I thought seeing as I am at the mercy of balancing my camera on various things.

*

The picture looks odd because I had to lighten it up.

*

I had by now given up and decided on showing you my trousers.

*

Sneaks away from the camera she does ..

And no, I did not go out like this, I had a sudden spark of enthusiasm when I got back in from the chiropractor so dove on in and am now back in my normal clothing as a skirt is more comfortable.
