“People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint – it’s more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly… time-y wimey… stuff.” ~Tenth Doctor, Doctor Who Blink
What does a self-proclaimed geek wear when she wants to dress up for Halloween? Especially when the costume needs to be comfortable for both college classes and work? Well, if that geek is a bit of a Doctor Who fan, it makes sense to dress up as The Doctor. The hard part is deciding which incarnation of The Doctor she wanted to be. Munchkin ended up settling on the 10th Doctor as she liked his style. Plus, she knew that she could wear parts of the costume later on. Red Converse high tops are pretty cool. 😉
Originally, she was going to go with a suit as close to David Tennet’s suit as possible, but when we found this skirt suit, she decided to go with a more feminine look instead. Thrift stores were our friend. After we found the skirt suit for $3, we then located a soft blue collared shirt for $2 and the fun tie for $1. I had almost given up on finding a coat when I stumbled across this woman’s trench coat. While it isn’t exactly like The Doctor’s coat, it worked – especially since it was only $3. You can’t be The Doctor without a sonic screwdriver, so I purchased a sonic screwdriver that was also a pen.
Since I had to be somewhere before she got up in the morning, I didn’t get a chance to see everything put together until she got home after classes and work. Daddy tied the tie the night before, so she could just slip it over her neck in the morning. She received lots of compliments on her outfit throughout the day.
We wrapped up the outfit with a Time Lord pocket watch. For fun, I painted her nails blue with a little whimsical silver detail. She had fun being The Doctor for the day.
