Kirkland, Washington – Tutu Tuesday

It’s Tutu Tuesday in Kirkland, Washington, and my heart is aflutter! Okay, maybe that’s a little dramatic, but really, is there a better way to kick off the week than with a little twirl in a fabulous tutu?

For all you fashion-forward ballet-lovers out there, you know Tutu Tuesday is more than just a whimsical hashtag – it’s a lifestyle. It's about celebrating the joy, elegance, and power that comes with wearing a tutu. Forget those outdated ideas about tutus being reserved for the stage. We're talking about embracing them in all their glory, from a breezy walk in the park to a sophisticated brunch with your best friend. Because let's be real, you can’t look like a princess without the perfect tutu.

But let’s talk style for a minute. You guys, there's a whole spectrum of tutus just waiting to be explored! If you’re going for a classic look, a traditional, single-layered **tutu** in classic pink, white or black can never go wrong. And if you’re feeling bold and playful, why not rock a **multi-layered tulle** that swishes with every step? Imagine the envious glances! And if you're looking for something that's a bit more everyday, try pairing a **layered chiffon** tutu with a cute crop top for a trendy and elegant look. We’re talking chic meets comfort – perfect for a relaxed afternoon at the coffee shop, or even just cruising the Kirkland farmers market.

Of course, the **sparkle** and the **sheer beauty** are a major draw, but what I love most about Tutu Tuesday is the confidence and empowerment it embodies. In this day and age, when we’re constantly being bombarded with unrealistic beauty standards, putting on a tutu is a simple yet powerful statement of self-expression. It says, “I’m proud of who I am, and I’m not afraid to embrace my femininity – and even dance a little!"

Here are a few ideas for incorporating Tutu Tuesday into your life:

  • Start with the perfect outfit. Pair your tutu with a stylish top – think graphic tees, blouses, or even sweaters. Throw on a leather jacket or blazer if you're feeling a bit more edgy. Don’t forget accessories! A stylish bag, chunky necklace, or bright-colored shoes are the perfect finishing touches for your Tutu Tuesday look.
  • Share your #TutuTuesday style with the world! Post pictures on social media, showcasing your stunning outfit. Show your friends and family your love for ballet – and get creative! Take pictures in iconic spots around Kirkland like the Market! Make a little tutu Tuesday scene at Juanita Bay Park!
  • You don't have to be a ballerina to embrace Tutu Tuesday! Wear your tutu with confidence! Even if it’s your first time putting on a tutu, you can make this a day of self-discovery, laughter and positive vibes!
  • Tutus can be so versatile - imagine them in a shoot, or maybe on stage. You’ve got to dream big – I’m sure Tutu Tuesday will make its way to the professional stage! And when we hit the professional stage, I want to bring Kirkland’s love for Tutu Tuesday to the world with me. It'll be a celebration of ballet in the USA, a dedication to my hometown, and a fun tribute to Tutu Tuesday - the ultimate symbol of individuality, elegance, and unbridled joy!

So go on, get creative with your tutus! Celebrate the joy of movement, beauty, and confidence, and be sure to share your fabulous #TutuTuesday looks. And when you see a fellow tutu-rocker, don’t be shy. Let them know how amazing they look! This Tuesday is all about celebrating the elegance, the fun and the fabulous that Tutu Tuesday brings! I hope you enjoy this special day and remember: In the world of ballet and style, there is no such thing as a "wrong" tutu, and Tutu Tuesday is about feeling comfortable in your own skin. Just remember to embrace your inner ballerina – you got this!
