Tutu Tuesday in Bristol: A Day for Twirling and Glitter
Hey, fellow fashionistas! It's your girl, Lily, back with another blog post bursting with sartorial inspiration. Today, we're diving headfirst into a whirlwind of colour, sparkle, and pure, unadulterated joy - because it's #Tututuesday!
If you've been living under a rock (or, let's be honest, simply haven't been glued to your Insta feed), then let me introduce you to the glorious trend sweeping the nation. Tutu Tuesday is all about embracing the sheer whimsy of tutus, be it a classic, full-bodied tulle masterpiece or a flirty, knee-length tutu with a hint of retro flair.
Now, you might be thinking, "Tutus? Seriously, Lily?" But trust me, it's not just about the iconic ballerina image. Tutu Tuesday is about shaking off the shackles of conformity and celebrating individual style. It's about transforming everyday outfits into vibrant explosions of colour and joy. It's about making a statement.
And where better to unleash your inner ballerina than in the buzzing, vibrant city of Bristol? Here, the streets are a playground for creative expression, where individuality reigns supreme. It's no wonder Tutu Tuesday has taken Bristol by storm.
Here’s a glimpse into what my Tutu Tuesday in Bristol looked like, complete with all the #discotutu flair you could handle!
- Breakfast with a Side of Twirling : My Tutu Tuesday started with a morning cuppa at the Pink Pagoda - a whimsical little cafe adorned with vintage pink china and neon pink lights (what's a disco queen without her signature pink?). I opted for a fluffy, pink tulle tutu , because who can resist a little pink and fluff for breakfast?
- Tutu Shopping Spree: Next stop, a tutu shopping spree! I am a self-confessed tutu enthusiast, and I've been lusting after a black sequin tutu for ages. Luckily, I stumbled upon the perfect piece at Vintage Threads - a local boutique that celebrates the beauty of past decades. Black sequin, classic silhouette – what's not to love?
- Street Style Slay: I donned my black sequin tutu and strutted through the vibrant Bristol streets. The tutu's soft, silky texture felt absolutely incredible against my skin, and I couldn't help but twirl with every step. The city is the perfect stage for tutu-centric street style. Everywhere I looked, people were rocking tutuk styles - from bright colours to playful prints and intricate details - it's truly an inspiring scene.
- Dinner & Dancing at The Disco Snail : A tutu-filled day wouldn’t be complete without a night out! I decided to paint the town (or rather, the dance floor) red… and I’m not talking lipstick. It’s hard to pass up an evening of disco at The Disco Snail - Bristol’s go-to spot for classic 70s disco grooves and endless boogie. As soon as I stepped into the vibrant, pulsating venue, it felt like I’d been transported to Studio 54. With the neon lights reflecting off my tutu and my body moving to the beat, the whole night felt like a joyous dream.
Of course, no Tutu Tuesday adventure is complete without some inspiring tips to help you take your tutu game to the next level. Here's how you can twirl your way into a fantastic #tututuesday:
- Get creative with color : Don't be afraid to embrace bright, bold colours. Let your inner rainbow shine through!
- Embrace the sparkle : Tutus are a natural home for sequins and glitter! Sparkle with every step.
- Mix and match textures : Don’t just stop at a tutu – add an unexpected element! Pair your tutu with a lace top or a leather jacket for a cool and edgy contrast.
- Play with proportions : The beauty of tutuk is their versatility. Opt for a long tutu for a glamorous look, or a short, flirty tutu for something playful. You can’t go wrong.
- Accessorize wisely : Complete your tutu look with statement accessories. Think dazzling earrings, chunky necklaces, or a dazzling headpiece for an extra dose of personality.
- Own it : Confidence is key when it comes to pulling off a tutu look. Walk tall, embrace the sparkle, and have fun with it!
Remember, #Tututuesday isn’t about being perfect; it’s about celebrating individual style and having fun with it. So, ditch the doubts and embrace your inner disco diva. Pick your perfect tutu , put on your brightest smile, and let your inner twirl queen shine!
Let’s paint the town pink. And glitter. #tututuesday #discosnail
