Tutu Tuesday in Oxford: A Whirlwind of Fashion and Fun!
#tututuesday It's Tuesday, which can only mean one thing for a ballet-obsessed fashionista like me: Tutu Tuesday! Every week, I try to find new and exciting ways to incorporate the elegance and flair of the tutu into my everyday look. And, let's be honest, Oxford is the perfect backdrop for a touch of theatrical whimsy. This week, I've been inspired by the grandeur of Oxford's historic architecture. I've chosen a **romantic, full-length tutu**, its layers of delicate tulle reminiscent of the frilly Victorian dresses of the city's famous residents. The blush pink hue, dusted with a hint of lavender, perfectly complements the cobbled streets and the pale stone facades of the buildings.
Tutu Twirls through the Colleges
This morning, I took a stroll through Christ Church Meadow, my tulle swirling around me like a soft pink cloud. The sunlight caught the fabric, throwing sparkling reflections across the grass, which made me feel like I was a ballerina performing in a natural amphitheatre. I even spotted a gaggle of tourists, their faces wide with amazement (or perhaps a bit of bewilderment!). They were clearly enthralled by the spectacle of my tutu. I confess, it made me feel a little like royalty, like the princess of the meadows. Of course, a tutu deserves a grand backdrop. I stopped by the Radcliffe Camera, its impressive dome a perfect architectural frame for my feminine form. The contrasting textures of the rough stone and the delicate fabric created a beautiful visual symphony. A group of students looked on in amusement as I twirled, my tutu catching the breeze and filling the air with graceful movement. I even attempted a few grand jetés in the courtyard of the Bodleian Library, hoping that no one would notice the way my pointe shoes dug into the uneven paving stones. For a moment, I was back on stage, in the centre of the theatre, bathed in the spotlight. Oxford's cobblestone streets, for once, felt like an endless stage, a place where dreams and imagination could take flight.
Tutu-ing Around Oxford's Treasures
This afternoon, I decided to indulge in the classic "Oxford Tourist" routine, with a twist of, of course, **tutu magic**. My trusty companion – my favourite **short, classic tutu**, with a sleek black velvet waistband - made an appearance. I imagined it was a tutu from the 19th century, perhaps a daring dress for a revolutionary woman artist like Gertrude Stein. The tutu gave a bold and confident edge to my Oxford exploration. I braved the crowds in the Ashmolean Museum. Let me tell you, it's quite a spectacle trying to fit a **bouffant tutu** amongst the ancient Egyptian mummies! (Although, they would have definitely approved of the flamboyant fabric!) But it was the Botanical Garden that stole the show. The riot of colours – vibrant blues, radiant oranges, and sunny yellows – made my tutu feel right at home. My pink blush tutu created an interesting contrast with the colourful flower displays. There was one garden bed where they were cultivating a collection of Victorian roses. This truly was an elegant symphony, where every delicate petal reflected the grace of my blush tutu.
The Perfect #tututuesday Accessories
But a tutu is just the starting point! You need to accessorize with panache! My key **#tututuesday** accessory is the iconic **ballet bun**, adorned with a single blush-toned pink flower. It not only elevates the look but also manages my curls, creating a clean and sophisticated silhouette. And, let's not forget a bit of **eye-catching jewellery**. My vintage silver locket hangs from a delicate gold chain, a timeless touch of elegance that ties together my overall style. This Tuesday, I opted for a delicate pair of black ankle boots, their sharp lines and sophisticated styling offset the flow of my tulle. But let's face it, I could just as easily have strutted in a pair of sleek platform pumps, channeling a bold, urban chic look.
Tutu Tuesdays: A Style Revolution?
As the sun began its descent, casting long shadows across the Radcliffe Camera, I stood in the heart of Oxford, my tutu dancing in the cool breeze. I realized that this wasn't just a fashion statement, it was an act of embracing individuality and daring to be different. As I bid farewell to the city's historic squares and vibrant alleyways, I reflected on the transformative power of the tutu. It allows us to tap into our own inner artist, to explore a sense of freedom and playfulness, and to turn everyday moments into whimsical, enchanting experiences. #tututuesday is about stepping outside of the ordinary, embracing creativity, and adding a dash of magic to our lives, whether it’s in Oxford or elsewhere. It’s about rediscovering the joy of being a little bit dramatic, and finding beauty in unexpected places. Who knows, maybe it's time to embrace the extraordinary – even if that means putting on a tutu and embracing a little bit of playful theatricality!
