Ok, so my Clara dress didn't really materialize after a last minute dash around the shops so I ended up plumping for Amy Pond once again. I did wonder whether I lost my nerve for it within the last year but I ended up enjoying it as always and I had some nice comments about my costume anyway.
I did get something today though but not very feminine though. This was a tie like the one the Tenth Doctor is going to be wearing in the 50th anniversary special. Very pleased with it.
It is interesting reading of how you got to this point. I know how you feel - it reminds me very much of when I was doing the same, even down to the tights and the feeling wonderful but also a little sad, and the fear...
ReplyDeleteI still get that. But having *less* time to indulge and to go shopping was really helpful for that. These days I end up stalking things in shop windows and then grabbing five minutes or less to get what I'm after - this usually after two weeks of stalking items as I pass in the car.
In these smash-and-grab trips I don't have time to get embarrassed or feel worried.
I am also very glad you got good feedback from the con attendees too - you clearly rock the Amy look very much and thus I am jealous!
