Hello darlings, it’s your favourite fashion-forward ballet aficionado, back with another exciting blog post, fresh from Billingham, where something utterly delightful is happening every Tuesday – it's *Tutu Tuesday!* For those of you who are new to the world of #tututuesday, it's essentially a delightful day dedicated to all things tulle and twirling. Picture it – a charming town brimming with the most vibrant, cheerful tutus imaginable! As a ballerina who absolutely adores the elegance of a perfect tutu, this delightful event caught my attention instantly. But let’s delve deeper, shall we? I had the pleasure of experiencing this sartorial spectacle firsthand, and let me tell you, Billingham is well and truly embracing its Tutu Tuesday spirit. Walking down the bustling high street, I was met with an array of colour and textures, and it was positively exhilarating! Tutus of all shapes and sizes were everywhere, from the classic romantic, wispy styles to more modern, bolder looks with layers of dramatic netting. You could spot them everywhere – on shop windows, adorned on benches, and of course, worn by the people of Billingham themselves! My favourite spot had to be the bakery on High Street - they had gone full-on Tutu Tuesday! They'd made a stunning multi-tiered cupcake display in the shape of a tiered tutu - pure genius, right? There were so many tutus to admire and the atmosphere was one of pure joy. Children were especially excited, prancing and twirling in their tutus – and I couldn't resist joining in for a few spins! The adults were no slouches either - some women, not just young girls, had their own elaborate, fashion-forward creations, which was absolutely thrilling. My Top Tutu Tuesday Takeaways Let’s be honest, ladies, we all have a little ballerina in our hearts – even if we didn't grow up with the graceful life of a professional ballerina, like me! And Tutu Tuesday in Billingham really gives you a reason to tap into that inner ballerina! * **The power of playful fashion**: A tutu, despite being associated with the world of dance, transcends a specific profession or age.
