Strood Shines Bright on Tutu Tuesday

It’s official, folks! Strood is officially on the map – for #tututuesday that is. Yes, you heard right! Our little town is no longer just the stopover between Medway and Rochester but the epicentre of dancey fashion. Let's talk sparkly, twirly and dare I say it, tututious!

You know, when you picture #tututuesday in your mind, the iconic vision of the ballerina-esque tutus springs to mind. A tutu isn't just a skirt, darling. It's an attitude, it's an experience, and it’s got the power to make you feel fabulous.

I am a firm believer in the 'more is more' motto. Let’s face it, life’s too short for boring outfits. When it comes to tutus, bigger, brighter and more sparkly, is definitely my philosophy.

  • **The Poinsettia**: The kind of tutu that makes a statement –think dramatic frills with layers and layers of shimmering fabric.
  • **The Pastel Perfection**: These beauties are all about the delicate romance of ballet, Think softer colors like powder blues, peaches and my favorite, pink. A hint of frill around the edge. Always perfect. Always graceful.
  • **The Modern Classic**: Simple yet sleek for the tutu trend that embraces elegance, often featuring minimal frills. Think structured silhouettes with just enough sparkle to catch the light.
  • **The Disco Snail**: No Tutu Tuesday is complete without this iconic disco ball, or for my fashion loving followers, The Disco Snail, This snail, crafted by local artisans in the town, was spotted making a grand entrance outside The Queen’s Arms in the middle of Strood. I even saw him posing for photos with the #discosnail hashtags, talk about keeping it trendy!

#tututuesday has gone viral on the internet! From TikTok to Instagram, it's becoming the hottest trend with more and more people wanting to celebrate this day. Even my local news reported on the craze, but no surprise there! It was pretty difficult to miss it with everyone from kids to grans strutting in their own special version of a tutu. Let’s just say I witnessed quite a few unique styles - my absolute favorite? I saw a gentleman rocking a denim jacket and a pink tutu – pure genius!

It seems we've gone from #tututuesday to #DiscoTutu. Why not, it’s the perfect opportunity for a dash of pink! Whether you're twirling down the high street or adding a touch of glitz to your workwear, there's a tutu for everyone! It's a trend that unites people - even those who've never been into dance or have a fear of glitter. #tututuesday is about expressing your own inner diva and spreading joy while you're at it.

I just want to express my gratitude to everyone who’s embraced this extraordinary #tututuesday. Strood truly does have heart, we just have to wear it with a whole lot of tulle, frills and glittery sequins!
