Maidstone Tutu Tuesday: A Disco Delight!
It’s Tuesday, which can only mean one thing for this fashion-loving ballerina: Tutu Tuesday! Now, before you picture me in a fluffy pink tutu, twirling around a quaint English village, let me assure you, my darling readers, I'm not your typical fairytale princess. My Tutu Tuesdays are about celebrating the **versatile and powerful** tutu, the **unwavering icon of the dance world**. We’re talking modern styles, bold colours, and maybe just a dash of disco.
Maidstone’s Got Tutu Spirit
Let's talk about the vibrant and fabulous city of Maidstone! It’s become a real hotspot for Tutu Tuesdays – and it’s easy to see why. The town’s full of stunning shops bursting with **vintage finds and quirky boutiques** where I’ve found some truly incredible tutus. But it's not just about the clothes! There's a real sense of community and celebration, and you know what else? It’s all about having **FUN** and celebrating our unique style! I mean, what’s not to love about a street filled with people twirling in fabulous tutus? I recently spied a pair of twins, both sporting the cutest miniature versions of their favourite **classic tulle tutus** – just too adorable! And what's Tutu Tuesday without a disco beat? My favourite cafe in town has a DJ on Tuesdays who keeps everyone bopping with tunes that just *make you want to twirl*! It’s pure magic!
From Ballet to Brunch: My Tutu Tuesday Journey
For me, Tutu Tuesday isn't about being stuck in a **traditional, fluffy** tutu (although, those are beautiful! ). I like to mix things up, exploring the different **styles and variations**. Last week, I went for a bold **‘70s inspired, disco-ready tutu** in the most beautiful emerald green! Imagine, **glitter**, feathers, and an endless, swirling expanse of silk. I felt like I stepped straight out of the studio onto a glitzy, retro dance floor.
Why Choose A Tutu?
Why this peculiar fascination with a garment primarily worn by dancers? It’s about embracing self-expression, having fun with fashion and, dare I say, **a touch of escapism**. A tutu isn't just clothing. It's a statement – a way to tell the world that **you're not afraid to be unique, playful, and just a little bit extraordinary**. So, when you're looking for something **out of the ordinary**, when you're ready to twirl, **ditch the dull and go bold, dear reader. Go Tutu!**
The Tutu Tips – Where To Get Your Disco-licious Tutu
Don't worry about thinking your Tutu Tuesday is going to cost you a fortune! I've been browsing those vintage shops, and trust me, they have some seriously beautiful tutus at great prices!
- Second-hand and vintage boutiques – My current favourite: ‘Vintage Heaven’ – a real gem hiding in the heart of Maidstone. Think tutus from different decades at unbelievably affordable prices!
- Online vintage markets – My favourite platform? It’s Depop! You never know what incredible pieces you'll find! You're bound to find some hidden tutu gems!
- Craft stores - Sometimes the perfect tutu is a DIY creation. So get those needles and thread at the ready! ( I'll be sharing some DIY tips soon!)
Embrace the Twirl
Maidstone Tutu Tuesday is an adventure! Every week is full of surprise and a real sense of community – and the dance floor is never far! This Tuesday, I’m planning to wear a vibrant coral coloured tutu. If you're ever in Maidstone on a Tuesday, don’t be afraid to pop into town and find a fabulous tutu (or three!) to twirl in. Who knows? We might even find a spot to start a little spontaneous disco-tutu party!
Until next week, lovelies, stay fabulous and always remember: **It’s always a good day to go Tutu!**
