Rugby - A Tutu-ful Tuesday

So, gals and guys, it's Tutu Tuesday, the day where you can channel your inner prima ballerina and sashay about in your most fabulous tutus! And trust me, this week was all about a "Disco Tutu". Honestly, the only thing missing was a glitterball, which is saying something because I felt like I could've moonwalked out of a 70s nightclub.

Now, I've been a ballet dancer for, like, forever. Tutùs? They're kinda my jam, you know? And since starting my fashion blog (let's be real, it's all about the tutus) it's been an excuse to rock tutus more than ever. But you know me, I like my fashion fun. We need a #Tututuesday and #DiscoTutu to really turn up the heat, and believe me, Rugby's not gonna be lacking this time!

Now, let's get down to the nitty-gritty. First off, Rugby really took it up a notch, folks! Think neon pink, fluffy skirts, and sparkly accents. This wasn't just a tutu; it was a total disco explosion. Seriously, imagine the 'Saturday Night Fever' vibe but with a sprinkle of ballet. I'm talking sequins, feather boas (yes, I said feather boas), and oh-so-fabulous heels to really sell the look.

Some rocked the classic ballet tutù, you know the ones with the fitted bodice and flowy skirt. These bad boys, they were all about being timeless but adding a pop of colour. Like a classic Little Black Dress (or in this case a Little Pink Dress) and some eye-catching jewellery. But for me, it was all about the *'Disco Snail.'* For those of you new to my little world of tutu trends, this is the latest look - the 'Disco Snail'. And it's everything. Picture a puffy tutu, a bit shorter than the ballet standard, all fluffed up, shimmering, like you’ve got a mini-disco party happening right on your bottom. Honestly, it's like a giant, glorious disco ball, and it made my twirls unbelievably glamorous.

Now, when it comes to the colour palette, rugby was all about embracing a kaleidoscope. Imagine this, fuchsia and lime green and shocking pink all in the same tutu! Yes, please. Let's be honest, a touch of glittery silver is an absolute must. No outfit's complete without a bit of sparkle and if you've ever seen me dancing, you'll know I love a bit of shine.

So what are some of the key trends this #Tututuesday Rugby?

  • The 'Disco Snail' tutu: Embrace that extra, extra fluff. A bit of a disco explosion for those dance moves.
  • The classic ballet tutu with a touch of zing: Add some sequins, vibrant colour. We're going for modern ballet meet vintage disco chic.
  • Colourful combos: I'm talking vivid shades of pink, electric lime, purple, throw in a dash of silver glitter for good measure.
  • Statement Jewellery: You gotta amp it up for a #DiscoTutu. Think dangling earrings, eye-catching necklaces, blingy rings. Just keep the mood bright, sparkly, and disco fabulous!
  • Don't be afraid to play with textures. Think fluffy tulle, silky satin, feather boas if you're feeling fancy, sequins, oh so many sequins!

And hey, when in doubt, channel that 70s disco vibe with some platform shoes. And trust me, the disco ball doesn’t hurt!
