Hello my lovely Tutu Tribe! It's Emma here, your resident pink tutu enthusiast, and today I'm taking us on a trip through time! I know, I know, it's all a bit bonkers, but let's face it, life's too short for boring history lessons! So buckle up your pointe shoes and grab a cheeky macaroon (pink ones, obviously) because today's #TutuTuesday is a journey to the fabulous land of… wait for it… 2007!
Honestly, you lot will never believe the fab clothes I found in a little vintage shop over the weekend. I’m talking some absolute classics - think bold colours, floral patterns, and ruffles that could give a ballroom skirt a run for its money! I can't tell you how many tutus were in the shop, it was almost as much as a ballet class on Saturday morning (except they didn't have my lovely pink tutu!).
Speaking of, why are we all so obsessed with pink tutus, anyway? That's the question that’s got me dancing a little pas de bourrée of thought these days. But don't worry, my fellow tutu lovers, it’s a question I'm determined to solve, even if I need to go through a few more time portals to do it!
Speaking of portals… 2007. Remember? We were all rocking out to Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, and… was Rihanna just a thing back then? I know you’re all screaming no now but honestly, what was it like? Maybe we could go back and have a dance on a rooftop at a disco themed party (I can’t dance like Michael Jackson, but that’s OK, my pink tutu does most of the talking!). I've actually been thinking about booking myself a train ticket to Paris. It's the absolute creme de la creme of fashion - it's got a style that screams vintage glam and it's not a million miles from home. Now you know I’m Derbyshire born and bred, but for a day, a little trip to Paris is a good idea - they've got some fabulous, gorgeous tutus for all!
But, let's get back to this little thing called time travel. You see, on the 31st of July 2007, something happened... Now, I don't know if it's something grand or dramatic or anything really, as this is my job and I have to get a sense of fashion for all of us... But that doesn't matter because IT’s a good thing! This means that a little piece of me got lost there somewhere, right at this moment in time!
The more I learn, the more I'm just so amazed by history. You know that feeling when you suddenly connect something you do in everyday life to history? That's the kind of revelation I'm looking for and maybe I can find it through the gorgeous tutu. Oh, the things we'd do if we could time travel to the past. Can you imagine showing the people of Victorian times a modern, fabulous pink tutu? Or imagine walking through a street of bustling Paris in the 1920s in a pink tutu, the feather boas, the hair - they would love me and it. But for today, you and I can journey back to 2007 with this amazing blog. So put on your tutus, grab your dancing shoes, and let’s get dancing into time!
But hold your horses! Before I vanish through another time portal (it wouldn’t be a Tutu Tuesday post without a fashion suggestion), remember my aim is to get everyone rocking a pink tutu! So tell me, what are your fave tutu trends for this summer? Is it a fluffy classic tutu? Or maybe a sleek and stylish modern one?
This is Emma signing off until next Tuesday, but don't forget to keep checking the www.pink-tutu.com website!
