Braintree's Tutu Tuesday: Where the Disco Dolphins Dazzle

Hey loves! It's your girl, Tilly, back with another fab fashion fix, and today we're taking a trip to the fabulous town of Braintree! That's right, this Tuesday is *all* about twirling in the finest tutus. This week, Iā€™m feeling all pink, glitter, and the joy of dance. We're talkin' #tututuesday baby!

Now, you all know Braintreeā€™s not known for being a hotbed of ballet, but trust me, itā€™s about to be! Because on Tuesdays, in the heart of this town, the air shimmers with the spirit of the dance! You canā€™t help but move, groove, and even spin yourself into a tutu frenzy!

Let's be real - Tutus get a bad rap, especially these days, as if the mere mention of that delicate, frilly fabric is something to be feared. Wrong, darlings! They're powerful. Think about it: the perfect tutu can make you feel like a princess, a ballerina, or a magical disco fairy ready to conquer the dance floor. Thereā€™s something magical about wearing a tutu and that feeling has got to come from those tiny, layered fabrics and the fact that they flow with your every step. It's freedom in fabric, my dears!

So why did I call it Tutu Tuesday? Well, because every Tuesday, there's a magical *something* in the air of Braintree. A kind of *oomph*. It's about finding joy, channeling your inner child, and shaking it to that old-school disco beat - the kind that reminds us of sunshine, roller skates, and sparkly polyester dresses (yes, I still wear mine). It's an unadulterated feeling of happiness! Itā€™s about breaking out of your comfort zone and celebrating that unique individual in a tulle embrace! And because nothing gets you dancing like a sparkly pink tutu, darling!

Oh, and speaking of "sparkly pink tutus", thereā€™s no one-size-fits-all solution to the world of tutus! My fellow dance enthusiasts will agree - when it comes to twirling perfection, a tutu for every personality exists:

  • The *Classico*. This one is all about sophistication with its full circle, the traditional, elegant and graceful look weā€™ve come to associate with ballet, but I find a simple but high quality version really elevates the everyday.
  • The *Romantic*. This beauty has a touch of magic about it. Think dreamy and wispy, floating through the air. These ones have a soft look that is all about creating movement with its delicate layers and longer lengths that feel airy. Perfect for those long, balletic steps and effortless flow!
  • The *Modern*. This one has been the darling of the catwalk recently, and for good reason. It can be anything you want - layered, long, full of colour, bold - as long as it's contemporary, and perhaps features fabric such as satin. Dare I say, you can definitely wear it with a chunky jumper for an added touch of cool.
  • And finally, there's The *Fun*. Itā€™s loud. It's sassy. It's colourful, maybe it's even embellished with rhinestones - all in its playful pursuit of dancing for the pure pleasure of it! The tutu made for spontaneous twirls!

My favourite, of course, is The Fun, but if you're on the hunt for something classic, try The *Classico*. And then when you have the perfect one, wear it everywhere! Braintree is your canvas - dance in the parks, on the streets, let's spread the tutu love, babe!

Now, you might be wondering why thereā€™s a ā€œdisco dolphinā€ theme? Iā€™ve found that when you feel the energy of Tutu Tuesday and youā€™re dancing to that disco beat you can almost *feel* that fun-loving dolphin spinning and dancing under the shimmering disco ball. Just like the ā€œDisco Dolphin" who lives in my mind! He's a bit like an ocean disco queen, who glides across the waves and never misses an opportunity for a groovy jig! That feeling of freedom, that love of joyful expression that I feel on Tutu Tuesdays in Braintree - itā€™s the #discodolphin dancing alongside #tututuesday in the sunshine. It's all part of a feeling I call The Dance.

So get your groove on! Dance like nobodyā€™s watching! It's time to embrace the magic of movement, of self-expression and of joy! Let's bring a little sparkle, whimsy, and freedom to Braintree. Iā€™m out there twirling, so see you next Tuesday!

Hugs, Tilly
