Ok, so it may be Tuesday and a little dreary outside (typical British weather, right?!) but let's face it, there's nothing better than injecting some colour, a whole lot of sparkle, and some major fun into your week. That's where my dear friends, #Tutuesday steps in - a global phenomenon, well, at least for us passionate twirlers! Today's challenge: taking Tutu Tuesday to the next level in Basildon! 😉
Now, I'm not talking your standard everyday tutus, the ones with the single layer and the simple elastic waistband - I'm thinking more... **whimsical**. A tutu worthy of a night at Studio 54! Think layers of shimmering tulle, bold pink tones, and an overall, *totally* glam vibe. Let’s take a trip back to the Disco era – 70s inspired, bright colours, disco ball vibes - basically the whole nine yards.
And if we're getting disco vibes then we're totally going all in. Forget the boring ballet slippers. Today's shoes? Platforms and anything sparkly. Think glitter, glitter, and more glitter!
I've gotta admit, Basildon wasn't exactly known for being a fashion capital, but that’s exactly why I thought it'd be fun to unleash the inner fashionista here. Think "disco-fabulous" – bright pinks, oranges and yellows, and of course a healthy dose of sequins and glitter, it's the perfect way to turn up the volume and make heads turn (and I’m not just talking about the tutus). Think funky textures – satin, velvet, sequins. Let’s rock this #Tutuesday and make Basildon a place of vibrant style!
The Tutu Choices for the Day- **The Classic Puffball Tutu:** We're keeping things simple and adorable. Pink of course! Fluffy, sparkly tulle in layers, think 'Barbie' in disco style – just perfect.
- **The Tutu Skirt**: A twist on the classic - perfect for blending the ballerina spirit into our everyday style. The tutu skirt adds a touch of playful glam to any look - denim jacket, a flowing blouse, you name it.
- **The Tutu Dress**: This is where things get serious. Imagine layers and layers of tulle with a shimmering, sparkling bodice that shimmers in the light. Just perfect for strutting your stuff at your local dance club – it's guaranteed to turn heads.
Basildon may be an unassuming place, but our Tutu Tuesdays will be the epitome of fun, fashion, and maybe a bit of madness, too. So grab your pink tutus, crank up the disco beats, and let's show Basildon that we’re all about turning everyday routines into sparkling moments.
Fashion, Friendship and the Disco SnailSpeaking of moments, remember how last week we took #Tutuesday to the seaside? The waves, the salty air, and the vibrant, sunny skies – It was epic! It wasn’t long until people started coming over asking questions: “Are you all going to the beach?”. "What's with the pink and sparkle?". You could feel the contagious joy – the simple act of wearing a tutu makes a difference. It's contagious, even a snail couldn't help himself – he was rocking his very own little #Discosnail bling-tastic accessory. How about that! You simply can’t resist, you gotta join the #Tutuesday fun!
Oh, and did I mention there's an element of bonding here, too? Seeing those smiles when a fellow Tutuer arrives on the scene – we can’t deny it! Those giggles as we try to dance like our idols in our magnificent creations. Tutuesday is for every woman! It's about finding a bit of lightness in the world - a way to break down any barrier of social awkwardness or shyness.
Whether you’re a seasoned ballet dancer or you've never worn a tutu in your life, this is all about making a bold statement, showing that you dare to have a little fun with your clothes, and creating a community. Let's keep those sequins and those layers flowing in all of the good vibes of a vibrant and fabulous Tuesday!
Stay tuned for more from my adventures, ladies, as I continue to spread the magic of #Tutuesday – it's truly a fashion explosion and we are here to ignite the Basildon glitterati. Make a difference! Unleash your inner ballerina – we’re not talking Swan Lake or anything super-serious here – it’s a tutu, for goodness’ sake! Just a whole lot of sparkle and pink and happiness for every Tuesday. 💖 #tututuesday #discotutu #basildon #discosnail #makeithappen #spreadtheglitter
