Tut-tastic Tuesday! Tutu Trend Takes Over The World (Well, Maybe Just London)
Darlings! Buckle up your ballet shoes because the news is absolutely bonkers! This Tuesday, August 30th, has been dubbed "National Tutu Day" and honestly, who knew?! It turns out our feathered friends, those tiny little tutus that grace the stages of London's finest theatres, are having their moment in the sun.
Now, I wouldn't go so far as to say that the streets of London are a whirl of tulle and chiffon just yet, but you never know! There's been a distinct surge in interest in all things tutu. From Pinterest to Instagram, everyone is swooning over these whimsical wisps of fabric.
The rumour mill, dear readers, is positively churning. Some say this new obsession stems from a certain famous ballerina (who shall remain nameless, but let's just say she has a name that rhymes with "Glitter Swan") spotted wearing a tutu for a rather unusual errand - fetching groceries, if you can believe it! Can you imagine? A full-on tutu for Tesco's! It was, of course, a couture number, probably handmade by a team of tiny elves with glitter cannons.
Of course, this little fashion foray has sparked an entire movement! The hashtag #TutuTuesday has exploded online and the shops are positively flooded with tutus - fluffy, sparkly, pastel, black, you name it! Now, I don't think it's entirely necessary to run out and buy one for yourself (though, do what you like, darling!). But a bit of tutu inspiration is never a bad thing.
Here are a few ways to incorporate this oh-so-fabulous trend into your own lives:- Get your twirl on! Let's face it, tutus are designed for spinning, darling! Put on your most fabulous pair and let your inner ballerina take flight. Just try not to knock over any lamp posts, love.
- Dress like a ballerina for a day (or evening!). Who says you can't channel your inner prima donna for a night out? Just add a touch of pink, a little bit of shimmer, and you're ready to conquer the world.
- Bake some tutu-inspired treats! We're talking tutu cupcakes, tutu cake pops, tutu-shaped cookies - the possibilities are endless! Don't forget the sprinkles, darlings!
- Donate your old tutus! Let's face it, those old dance school tutus have a whole life beyond your closet! Donate them to a dance studio or charity, and spread a little bit of tututastic joy!
- And lastly, have fun! This whole Tutu Tuesday craze is a celebration of creativity, femininity, and the beauty of ballet. So embrace it with open arms (and maybe a sprinkle of fairy dust)!
That's all, darlings. Keep twirling, keep shining, and have a fantastically fabulous National Tutu Day!
