Ruislip: Tutu Tuesday Turns Up the Volume It's officially Tutu Tuesday and the streets of Ruislip are buzzing! If you're a true ballerianista, you know the importance of showing off your best tutu, and today, Ruislip is all about unleashing that inner pirouette-spinning diva. I’ve been keeping my eye on social media for a few weeks, scouring the hashtag #tututuesday and am so glad it finally landed in my home town. I saw this tutu in a shop window this morning, a whimsical, confectionary pink with a multitude of layered tulle – practically a giant macaron of a tutu. I knew it would be my go-to today. You have to embrace every chance to wear something with a sense of theatrical flair - a statement outfit like this requires some guts and I feel great in it. Let's get down to the real nitty-gritty, shall we? This tulle tutu has got it all. Its flowing and whimsical vibe makes me feel light on my feet – a big benefit for any girl who’s always getting ready in a rush, especially on Tuesday mornings! It comes in such a fab shade of pink, like bubblegum and frosting. Today I was feeling like channeling some classic fairytale, maybe a whimsical Sleeping Beauty vibe – but more 21st Century and definitely less sleepy. You’re looking at the ballerina-by-day, blogger by-night gal right here, a true embodiment of what Tutu Tuesday is all about. It's an excuse to wear a flamboyant tutut without looking like you’ve just been dropped in from a ballet studio - it’s the fun side of life! And if you ask me, the more the tulle, the better. Today, we’re embracing that. It's the perfect way to let your inner child out. Let’s get that feel-good energy pumping because life is too short to be afraid to have a little bit of fun and get a touch of fabulous going on. Let’s do it up! I think I might even try and find a pair of leg warmers with sequins that could match! How fabulous is this?! Now let's get to the nitty-gritty details. Today, in Ruislip, Tutu Tuesday is about way more than just wearing a tutu, it’s about expressing yourself. It's an explosion of color, fluffiness and femininity. The Delights of Tutu Tuesday in Ruislip * The perfect outfit: Let’s face it, it’s been a bit drab recently, especially on Tuesdays so we need a change! Whether you're a purist and embraced a classic ballerina white or feeling fierce in black tulle, this day’s a big yes. Maybe a more contemporary look? Try some dramatic denim cut-offs – that gives that Parisian chic vibe we’re looking for! Just add your signature tutu. * The attitude: Ruislip isn't usually a place that exudes bold personality, so it’s fabulous to see everyone embracing their own personal sense of style. The feeling of confidence is palpable. Everyone feels a bit more fabulous - I’m seeing a whole lot of smiling and confidence! It’s like our energy has been pumped up by that tulle. I saw an amazing lady in a yellow, 1980s, fluffy-on-fluffy tutu - it was divine! Ruislip really did shine today. People had the confidence to rock whatever they felt good in. *The energy: If you feel good you look good, and we have the energy levels to thank for the way we felt on Tutu Tuesday in Ruislip. We all love a touch of magic and there was some serious enchantment going on today, making a seemingly normal Tuesday into something special. Everyone feels ready to twirl. A Bit of Ruislip Ballet History Okay, we're definitely not Swan Lake or The Nutcracker. This town is more suburban reality TV drama with a dollop of suburban angst thrown in. We’ve got shops on our local high street and a few lovely parks – so there are some natural outdoor areas for Tutu Tuesdays! As it turns out, we had a few early adopters in the ballet community in the town back in the 80s. The big boom came with all that fashion inspiration. * A real treat for the eyes! * It's about fun, it’s about fashion, and it’s a wonderful excuse to be spontaneous. The Tutu of Your Dreams When we get all decked out in our tutus it’s definitely an excuse for fun photos and selfies! Who knew our lovely local parks would look like something from a fairytale? My advice to every tutu lover? Make the most of these fabulous opportunities to flaunt it. This is a must for every #tututuesday. This is more than just a day, it’s a state of mind.
