Wellington, My Darling! Tutu Tuesday, It's Time to Sparkle
Greetings, fellow fashionistas! It's your girl, Camille, here, fresh off a pliƩ, and ready to unleash the glamour. As you know, every Tuesday, the capital comes alive with the infectious energy of #Tututuesday - an enchanting celebration of tulle and sequins! Today's outfit, however, is no ordinary tutu affair. It's time to put on your dancing shoes and get ready to "shake your groove thing," because we're embracing the fabulous spirit of #discotutu.
As I sashayed through the bustling streets, it was like being in a retro fever dream. And guess who else joined the party? My sassy little sidekick, Disco Snail, in his shell of shimmering silver - a true embodiment of the evening's theme. We had to do a twirl-tastic selfie, of course. Heās my glam spirit animal, wouldnāt you say?
Now, let's delve into the sartorial secrets that made this Tutu Tuesday unforgettable! For my #discotutu masterpiece, I opted for a showstopper that channelled my inner disco queen - a flowing, multi-layered tutu in shades of rose-gold, blush, and bubblegum pink. Forget those classic, ballerina tutus ā this beauty was designed to spin, swirl, and radiate pure, glitzy joy.
As a dance professional, I know a thing or two about tutus. But this one truly took things to the next level:
- A vibrant pink tutu bodice with sparkling rhinestones - I couldnāt resist a little bling!
- Extra-fluffy layers for that dramatic, almost cartoonish look.
- And my personal touch: a flowing pink satin ribbon attached to the bodice, which I tied into a glorious bow for a touch of 70s romance.
With every twirl, the cascading tiers of the tutu transformed into a mesmerizing blur of colours and textures, capturing everyoneās gaze. But a look isnāt complete without its supporting acts!
- I accessorized with sparkly platform sandals and a pink sequined belt, just because why not?!
- My statement piece? A bright, chunky disco ball necklace ā I mean, it's #discotutu, after all!
And, for my final act? A perfect, rosy pink makeup look that truly celebrated the mood of the evening. Think vibrant, coral blush, lashes that could rival Cherās in āBelieve,ā and a bold, pink lip that demanded attention! (And Disco Snail? He opted for a shiny, iridescent polish on his shell.)
Wellingtonians have embraced #tututuesday, not just for its fun and festivity, but also for its message of empowerment and self-expression. It's a day when we can all shed the layers of everyday life and reclaim our inner princesses (and princes!), embracing our individual style with a healthy dose of sass.
And itās so easy! All you need is a tutu - be it a fluffy classic, a mini for added drama, or, as I advocate, a statement tutu fit for a disco goddess. The key is to be creative and let your imagination run wild. And donāt forget your disco boots!
Whether youāre taking a trip down memory lane or simply embracing your inner fabulousness, let #tututuesday be your weekly reminder that sometimes all you need to light up your day (and maybe even conquer your to-do list!) is a little glitter and a whole lot of tulle!
So, join the fun, embrace your inner sparkle, and, if you spot me and my disco snail buddy around Wellington, be sure to strike a pose!
