Tutu Tuesday in Ilkeston: A Glittering Fashion Revolution

Alright, darlings! This week’s blog is all about tutu-tasticness, and I'm not talking about the standard tutu, oh no. We’re taking the iconic ballerina silhouette and adding a touch of **#discotutu** magic to it!

For the uninitiated, let me tell you, Tutu Tuesday is the glorious, swirling celebration of the quintessential ballerina staple. And let me be clear, a good tutu is a glorious thing – like a floating dream of silk and tulle! Imagine, a symphony of frills that would make even the most jaded fashionista blush, and then multiply that by a thousand, because Tutu Tuesday is no ordinary affair!

I love the versatility of tutus - it’s not just about dancing anymore, honey! From the graceful elegance of a classic *Romantic* tutu to the powerful lines of the *Spanish* tutu – these are the staples. Think of a tulle cloud embracing the wearer in an effortless romantic ballet style, a *Romantic* tutu would do the job, darling!

But if you want to add a dose of edge, opt for a *Spanish* tutu! Think fierce movement, an elongated silhouette, a statement! You can’t go wrong with this classic! But that's not all, Tutu Tuesday is a day of boundless creativity and imagination. Imagine layering your favorite *Romantic* or *Spanish* tutu under a sheer skirt, adding some vibrant coloured satin, or even a sparkly, glittery top! You could even add a little bling to it – maybe a dazzling diamante-encrusted chain or some feathers! The possibilities are endless!

I love experimenting with color and styling, I always go for a bright and eye-catching color! Now that spring is finally here, it's all about pops of pink! My current obsession is pairing a *Romantic* pink tulle with a shimmering lilac crop top – such an effortless, but incredibly stylish combination.

However, I find it's easy to fall into the usual classic ballet style and while those are absolute wardrobe staples, there is always more! Why not go bold with some bright red or daring navy, it's about mixing the unexpected. Embrace your playful side. Experiment with texture and material – I love combining soft tulle with edgy leather! Add some studded heels and your inner rocker is ready to strut! Oh, and did I mention accessories? Think statement jewelry, bold sunglasses, and maybe even a sparkly head band, just to add a bit of flair to the look.

So, for all of you aspiring tututastic ladies, **#tututuesday** is your opportunity to showcase your flair and be bold, be unapologetic about your fashion choices. Unleash your inner dancer, let your tutu sing, and don't be afraid to get noticed! And remember to look out for my fellow Tutu enthusiast #discosnail!
