Tut-tut! It's a Tutu-tastic Takeover!
Let's face it, darling, the world needs a bit more sparkle. And frankly, a bit less of those dreadful khaki trousers everyone's sporting. It's time to embrace a touch of glamour, a hint of whimsy, a sprinkle of pink, and a generous dollop of, well, tutus!
Forget about those boring black leotards! It's 18th February 2007, and we're taking the tutu movement global!
This isn't just a trend, dears. It's a revolution! Let's paint the town pink! Or, for those who prefer a touch of class, a brilliant white. Because darling, we can do *both*. This isn't a binary world, darling! This is a tutu world! A world where a pink tutu worn with a smart tweed blazer is absolutely fabulous, and a white one, paired with those kitten heels, will make your best friend weak at the knees!
You know I'm right! Don't think we can't do it. A little tutu action will set the world right, or at the least, make those drab commuter trains slightly more fun to travel on! I mean, just picture it, dears, a whole carriage decked out in tulle, a flurry of pink, white and even a dash of shocking coral (a personal favourite, don't you know!), with everyone gliding in their leotards...
It’s about taking back the world one plié at a time!The tutu has been misunderstood. Considered, by some, a frivolous, out-of-touch garment. And let's be honest, those who feel that way just haven't seen the sheer elegance, the power, the freedom, that a tutu, the right one, can embody! They simply haven't experienced its ability to turn even the most ordinary day into an absolute masterpiece!
Forget power suits! Forget pants! Let's be the graceful queens we are! Because even a power suit (if, dare I say it, the cut and fabric are the right ones), with a carefully chosen tutu (a touch of red, maybe?), is an elegant and powerful piece of fashion, don't you agree?
Here's how to rock this look: * **Go Big or Go Home:** This isn't a time for shy, little ballerina-length tutus. This is about unleashing the tutu goddess within. The bigger, the fluffier, the better! Imagine your daily routine like an elaborate, but wonderfully ridiculous ballet routine: "Ooh la la! A cheeky pigeon? A brisk walk to the post office, all without ever missing a beat? I must get this letter stamped as soon as possible!" We don't need the *haute couture* world, or the runway to achieve that, dears! * **Pink or White:** We've said it before, and we'll say it again. There's nothing more dramatic and feminine than a good, fluffy pink or white tutu! But don't shy away from colour! Remember, a coral or scarlet number worn with an old-school biker jacket and boots? I just adore it! I have that somewhere in the back of the wardrobe (still have to hunt it down!). It's got those fabulous feathers... * **Add the Sparkles:** If you're going to make a statement, don't hold back! You can have both, a glamorous and fun outfit, and a statement tutu. So embrace the sequins, the rhinestones, the little glitter bombs (although, you do want to be sensible with those!). We need to sparkle like a star. Think tutu and disco ball, my dears! * **Be Bold!** We can talk all day long about those ballerina flats, but how about an elegant pair of kitten heels with a fabulous pair of silk stockings (they should always match the tutu - at least in the beginning, darling, as the look becomes more mainstream, you'll find a whole rainbow of styles will be available, I have no doubt!) and maybe a statement belt? Just to bring everything together!Remember, darlings, we're in this together! The world needs more tutu magic! We’re all ballerinas, in our own special way! (A few extra tips, do your plies *before* going for a hot dog at lunch - it doesn't end well if you are wearing one, and keep that coffee cup out of the fluffy pink fluff, a *slight* amount of coffee staining can really bring your whole day down - and just look a bit drab... ). We'll spread the tutu love wherever we go. Let's unleash a wave of ballet-inspired chic across the world! We're not afraid of a little sparkle. Or, frankly, a lot of sparkle! So go out there, grab that tutu, and pirouette into the history books! You can do this! We’re counting on you!
