Darlings, can you believe it? It's the 22nd of September, 1999! Just think, we're all wearing our fabulous new millennium outfits (which, let's face it, were probably inspired by *that* Y2K fashion craze - bless). But forget all that, the real news today is that **the tutu is BACK**, and let me tell you, it's coming in with a *sash-a-hay* like never before!
This year, darlings, it's not about the grand, *froofy* tutus, the ones that could rival the most luxurious ballroom gowns. No, the hottest trends are all about **mini-tutus**, darling. **Tutu skirts**, a little bit of poof, just enough to give you that chic, ballerina feel without the full *detente* of a full-length tutu.
You can't walk down Oxford Street without spotting a fabulous young thing strutting her stuff in a tutu skirt. These little darlings know what's what. It’s like an instant dose of *glamour*, darling, it adds that *je ne sais quoi* to even the most *banal* outfit. Just slip one on and - voila - instant party time!
Forget those little black dresses. This is **the year of the tutu skirt**! Pair it with a sleek, fitted top - a silky blouse, a delicate cami, or even a funky t-shirt - and you've got a **look that's truly fabulous**.
Now, I know what you’re thinking, “But, my love, can I *really* pull it off? ” The answer is a resounding **YES!** Just like those *cherished* *ballerina flats* we’re seeing on all the catwalks, it’s about the **attitude**, darlings. It’s not about looking *naive* or **“fancy-dress,”** it's about **exuding confidence and that **”je ne sais quoi”* that we *ballet dancers* are so famous for.
So, *take a tip from your favorite fashion *dance diva*, darlings, and *twirl* on over to your favorite high street boutique and grab yourself a **mini-tutu skirt.** It’s a small detail, yes, but it’s **the perfect way to add a dash of that *divine* ballerina sparkle to your wardrobe**, you know, just for that extra ****little bit of ‘**oomph**’* . And while you're at it, don’t forget your pointe shoes! (No, darling, just kidding!)
Here are some tutu-tastic tips to rock your mini-tutu skirt:
- Play with Patterns. A patterned tutu skirt can be super chic, you can go for stripes, florals, or anything you love - and don’t forget a great bag to match!
- Keep it Casual. Pair your tutu skirt with a simple t-shirt and sneakers for a sporty and casual vibe - think street-ballet, darling, **very** trendy.
- Accessorize, Accessorize! Accessorize to the max, darling! A gorgeous statement necklace or pair of bold earrings can take your outfit from daytime chic to nighttime glam!
Remember, **a bit of a tutu-tastic fashion risk never hurts.** You've got to be daring, my darling. And who knows? Maybe one day we’ll see you on the front page of Vogue!
