Kendal Tutu Tuesday: A Disco Snail’s Delight
It's Tuesday, and you know what that means! It's Tutu Tuesday, of course. I mean, where else in the world can you get away with rocking a tulle masterpiece on a regular work day and be the most stylish person on the bus? Well, actually, you can probably get away with it in lots of places these days, but here in Kendal, we take our Tutu Tuesdays very seriously.
So, let's talk tulle! It was another gloriously sunny morning in Kendal and I woke up feeling absolutely *sparkly* and bursting to wear a tulle tutu that wouldn't look out of place at a disco party, because really, isn't life a giant disco party, once you get down to it? You wouldn’t catch me dead in a tutu that resembled a dainty little ballet princess! It's gotta have a certain flair to match my energy. Think **extra volume**, think **layered frills** think **loud and proud!**
Now, choosing the right Tutu for your #tututuesday outing can be a bit of a conundrum. Let's be honest, we don't all want to look like we're on our way to the Bolshoi (and certainly not a *strict* one, for sure!). You need something that’s flattering yet statement-making; something that doesn’t sacrifice comfort for its bold, eye-catching design! My ideal tutu is something *a little bit rock'n'roll, something a little bit whimsical*. It's all about striking that balance, isn’t it?
For today's ensemble, I went with a glorious *hot pink* **tutu skirt** layered with shimmering silver sequins - because when life gives you a sunny Tuesday, you need to dance, right?! I paired the skirt with a classic black T-shirt to keep it casually chic, but added a touch of disco magic by pairing it with **fringe-laden boots** (with an extra layer of sparkle! Always essential!) - because even if it doesn’t actually *do* anything, fringe always somehow makes things look *better* I then adorned myself with sparkly jewelry - my favourite rainbow necklace was a must-have for the occasion! Because it's always good to remember: **Sparkle. Sparkle. Sparkle. You’re not a snowflake; you’re a disco ball!**
The only thing I needed was a **tutu-worthy soundtrack** to make my walk through Kendal as *fabulous* as possible! And of course, I wasn't disappointed. Walking through the town center was an explosion of all things sparkly and vibrant - from a little snail with a disco ball shell on his back who’d taken to my vibrant pink get-up, to a lady in a fetching purple tutu on the corner of the high street! (#discolife). Even the shop fronts looked like they were *channeling their inner disco diva.* I'm sure everyone around was feeling the fabulousness and *positivity*! Even the gloomy skies of Kendal seemed a bit *less grey*. You see, that's what Tutu Tuesdays do! It gives everyone permission to be *wild, carefree and just *a little bit *extra*, without judging or caring. It's about finding a piece of joy and playfulness in your everyday life. And that, my friends, is absolutely **divine**.
- So here are some #tututuesday styling tips from a true *tutu expert*: **Go Big or Go Home!** The bolder, the better. There's no such thing as too much tulle!
- Embrace the unexpected: If your Tutu has feathers? Even better. Don’t shy away from those dazzling elements! A **fluffy feather boa** around your neck or **feather trim** on the tutu itself is just pure fabulous. Let’s get feather-y and bold, peeps!
- Mix and match! It’s your own style after all, darling! Play around with different lengths and textures for that extra **ooomph!**
- Be playful with accessories! Tutus and statement jewelry were made for each other! Bold earrings? A **sequin necklace** for your neck, maybe? Let's go all-out *flair*.
- Most importantly? Have Fun! After all, what is life without a little *tutu magic*?
This #tututuesday, my dear Kendal, you made a strong case for being the tutu capital of the world, and even with those overcast skies and drizzle - what an amazing *sparkle* you possess!
So, keep it bright, Kendal! Keep it dazzling! And may the sparkle be ever in your favor. Happy Tutu Tuesday!
