Geek Chic: Fashion Inspired by Doctor Who, Part 2

It wouldn’t be very practical to carry a suitcase to class, so pack up your school supplies in this briefcase-inspired satchel. A pair of bright wellies and cozy hat make the outfit perfect for a rainy or chilly day. Finally, add a fish pendant as a reference to Amelia’s most celebrated recipe.

The Weeping Angels

Created by current showrunner Steven Moffat, the Weeping Angels were first introduced in the absolutely terrifying Tenth Doctor episode “Blink” (which featured Carey Mulligan in one of her earlier roles), though they’ve since appeared in a few Eleventh Doctor stories. Widely recognized as some of the creepiest Doctor Who monsters ever, the Weeping Angels are an ancient race of aliens with an ingenious defense mechanism: When someone is looking at them, they become “quantum-locked” and turn to indestructible stone.

But don’t underestimate these aliens: Glance away — even for a split second — and they can move faster than the wind. Unfortunately, they generally want to kill you and/or feed off your potential temporal energy. So remember: Don’t blink — don’t even blink. Blink and you’re dead. Don’t turn your back. Don’t look away. And don’t blink.

Product Information: Dress, Jacket, Shoes, Ring, Earrings, Eyelashes

To channel one of the Lonely Assassins (so called because they cannot look at each other for fear of being forever turned to stone), start with a draped dress in heather gray, then add a polished charcoal blazer. Silver and gray would make for a rather predictable pairing, so slip on strappy bronze platforms instead for an unexpected color combo. A pair of wing-shaped earrings and a stone ring complete the lethally elegant ensemble.

If you followed the Doctor’s instructions, you should have your eyes wide open by now, but if you absolutely must blink, make sure you’re wearing a pair of false eyelashes: Perhaps your flirty, fluttering lashes will persuade the deadly Angels to take mercy! (But seriously, don’t blink.)
