Hello darlings! It's your girl, Chloe here, and as the sun's shining and the weather's warming up, I can only think about one thing: tutu season. Now, you might be thinking, "Chloe, darling, we're in Bicester, not a grand Parisian ballet," but trust me, tutufashion knows no boundaries. This summer, I'm bringing a sprinkle of fairytale magic to your everyday looks, and I'm not just talking about fluffy pink tulle. It's all about blending those timeless ballet inspirations with a little bit of contemporary flair. Let's dive in, shall we?
Ballet on the Boulevards: First things first, I need to address the tutu elephant in the room. No, you won't be sporting a full-blown classical tutu in your everyday life (unless, you know, you're into that sort of thing!). But those signature swirling skirts have provided endless fashion inspiration. Imagine: a romantic, tulle midi-skirt layered over a flowy floral top? Imagine a structured mini tutu in a bright, bold shade - imagine, the possibilities! This summer, I'm all about the unexpected - adding that touch of ballerina magic to outfits that might not necessarily scream ballet.
Tutus, They're Not Just for Dancers: From breezy picnics in the park to sipping cocktails on the patio, your new summer wardrobe has an open invitation to a little bit of tulle. This season, I'm loving those structured tutus in shades like a sunshine yellow or a vibrant electric blue. Think a Statement Skirt - an elegant pop of colour against a white, simple top or a denim jacket for a playful yet chic contrast.
Bicester Ballet Style: Bicester's brimming with gorgeous independent boutiques, vintage finds, and of course, all your favourite high-street stores. Now, where's the magic? Remember those glorious layers? Look out for vintage finds in local stores, pieces with that whimsical layered flair - a lightweight cashmere cardigan paired with a billowy silk top. Or, if you're after something truly unique, why not explore a local crafts market? They're brimming with those hidden gems waiting to be discovered - think delicate crochet tops or handcrafted silk scarves.
Taking it to the Next Level: You want to add a little extra pizazz? You can always go the extra mile with accessories. Delicate chains with little pearl pendants (think ballerina-inspired charm), delicate pearl earrings - these little details can add an ethereal touch to your outfits. My personal favourite? Those oversized, sun-kissed straw hats - simply chic and perfect for a summer picnic or a relaxed brunch date.
Keeping it Local: Of course, let's not forget those little independent shops in Bicester. There's something so special about supporting local talent, don't you think? Many of these businesses are brimming with amazing pieces that might just become your new wardrobe heroes. Explore hidden alleyways, check out their social media - I guarantee you'll stumble upon something incredible.
Beyond the Pointe Shoes: For me, fashion's always about feeling confident and expressive, and what better way to express yourself than by injecting some tutufashion into your wardrobe? But tutufashion isn't about blindly following trends - it's about expressing yourself through the magic of tulle, colours, and, most importantly, feeling good. So go on, dear reader, explore Bicester, try those tutustyle looks - be a fashion fairy and let your inner ballerina shine!
