Bicester's Tutu Tuesday: A Fashionable Spin on Ballet It's Tutu Tuesday in Bicester! And you know what that means? Time for a little twirl, a dash of colour, and a whole lot of tutus! As a ballet dancer with a serious fashion obsession, I’m all about embracing the beauty of the tutu, not just on stage, but in everyday life. And what better place to do that than in Bicester, with its vibrant town centre and its surprisingly eclectic fashion scene? Bicester's Tutu Trend This month's Tutu Tuesday theme is all about finding creative ways to incorporate the tutu into our everyday wardrobes. Gone are the days of associating this graceful garment with just ballet, folks. We're talking everything from **romantic tulle skirts** to **bold statement layers** - and Bicester's shops are bursting with inspiration! **Where to find the Perfect Tutu in Bicester** Now, you might think finding a tutu in a small town like Bicester is a lost cause. Think again! I've spent the past week scouring the shops and markets, and trust me, the tutu potential here is astounding. * **The High Street:** Bicester’s High Street has a great mix of vintage shops and contemporary fashion outlets. For vintage finds, head to **‘The Attic’**, where you can unearth real treasures. For something more modern, **'Lily & Lulu'** on Sheep Street is brimming with cute, on-trend styles and, yes, even a few tutu-inspired pieces. * **The Bicester Village Outlet:** You simply can’t talk about shopping in Bicester without mentioning the Village Outlet. While it's not traditionally a place for tutu finds, if you dig deep, you'll discover that there’s plenty of **fluffy tulle and soft layering** that can be adapted for the occasion. Remember, a good pair of scissors and a little bit of creativity go a long way! **My Tutu Tuesday Style:** As a ballet dancer, I adore the classic **romantic tutu** silhouette. But don’t worry, I’m not rocking a full-on ‘Swan Lake’ look! For today's tutu experiment, I’ve opted for a **short, tiered tutu** in a soft, **peachy-pink hue**. It pairs beautifully with a vintage **black cardigan** for that **sophisticated, yet playful contrast**, and a **simple pair of white trainers** for a casual, comfortable vibe. A splash of **red lipstick** and a **bold statement necklace** complete the look. Bicester's #TutuTuesday Moments While I’m thrilled to share my style exploration with you, the true heart of Tutu Tuesday lies in its communal spirit. Here in Bicester, folks are really embracing the #TutuTuesday challenge with enthusiasm! * **The ‘Tutu Stroll’:** I witnessed a delightful sight - a group of friends on their way to lunch, all sporting tutu-inspired outfits, swishing their tulle skirts as they walked down the cobblestone streets. What a way to brighten up the town centre! * **The Tutu Café:** I even stumbled upon a delightful little café where the owner had donned a tutu for the occasion, much to the amusement of the customers. This light-hearted gesture added an unexpected dose of charm to their usual coffee break! * **Tutu Shopping Spree:** I bumped into several individuals on their #TutuTuesday shopping sprees, picking out fabrics, accessories and maybe even a tutu or two. You never know what delightful fashion finds await in the hidden corners of Bicester. **Embracing the Unexpected: #TutuTuesday in Bicester** What started as a personal style challenge has turned into a fun, community-driven event in Bicester. The joy of #TutuTuesday is that it’s all about embracing the unexpected. It's about breaking away from the usual, having a bit of fun, and adding a splash of color to our lives. So, if you're in Bicester, join us! Embrace the Tutu Tuesday trend! And if you’re not in Bicester, remember, anywhere can be a Tutu Tuesday. Go out there and make some magic with tulle! You never know what might inspire you. Remember, sometimes the most ordinary places are just waiting to be transformed with a bit of flair. So, until next week, happy twirling!
