Westhoughton, a tutu haven for Tutu Tuesday

Hello darlings! It’s me, Chloe, the self-proclaimed ‘Queen of Tutu Tuesdays’ (don’t judge - my friends call me this!). Let me take you through a day of fabulous in my little corner of Lancashire.

You know how much I adore the iconic tutu, and Tuesday’s just happen to be a special occasion for us tutu lovers! Now, some of you might think ‘tutus - are they only for ballerinas?’ but that’s where you'd be SO WRONG, my darlings! Tutus are all about embracing the graceful, the whimsical, the effortlessly chic. They’re for anyone with a bit of playful spirit!

Westhoughton, our lovely town, just seems to radiate that ‘tutu’ energy, and it really shines on Tuesdays. Imagine it - cute cafes, friendly shops, people out and about, all with a touch of tutued charm!

I decided to try out my new **lavender-hued** ‘floating tutu’. You know, that delicate layered fabric that looks like a fluffy dream? I teamed it with a white cami and some classic Converse - comfy but still totally glam. Let’s be real, my darlings, comfort and style are a winning combination!

Now, my journey to tutu bliss began with my usual pit-stop at “The Sweet Tooth,” a hidden gem in the heart of Westhoughton, and a totally-underrated pastry heaven! It's the place to go for decadent cupcakes, and they even have a 'Tutu Tuesdays’ offer - you buy one cupcake, get the next one free if you’re rocking a tutu (who needs an excuse, right? - just a bonus!)

And yes, they even let me bring my darling dog, Beau, for the ‘Sweet Tooth’ special! He always makes everyone smile in his adorable **fluffy tutu**, especially when he goes for a graceful twirl to earn a paw-some treat!

Speaking of ‘tutu-ing around’ - we then visited ‘The Little Button’ shop, this adorable independent haven of beautiful, curated vintage clothes. I snagged myself a gorgeous silk scarf to pair with my tutu, just a pop of colour and elegance. They really do have some unique finds for anyone who dares to be bold with a touch of whimsy.

My #TutuTuesday adventure took us through ‘The Market Square,’ where there’s always a vibrant buzz going on! And here's the best part - there’s a stall dedicated to the lovely 'The Vintage Hat Lady,’ selling tutus for every occasion (she's my Tutu Twin!!). She helped me pick a perfect, shimmering, pink tutu for my next birthday outfit.

And let’s be honest - the entire town of Westhoughton seems to join in the #TutuTuesday fun. We even saw a little girl dressed as a **miniature princess ballerina** with her tiny pink tutu and tiara. It’s these simple joys that just make me so happy! And who knows, maybe I’ve inspired a new generation of tutu-loving ‘Westhoughton Tutu Trendsetters! (You heard it here first, my darlings.)

It really doesn't matter if it's a simple tutu or a flamboyant, elaborate one, what really matters is wearing your tutu with confidence! If you embrace it, your ‘tutu’ look will reflect your unique style and personality!

If you're looking for an excuse to wear your favourite tutu (like you really need one), Westhoughton on Tuesdays will not disappoint! I've listed some of my top tutu-spots and, darlings, do let me know if you join me in Westhoughton on a Tuesday – tag #tututuesday on social media! And maybe we can do a #WesthoughtonTutuChallenge – who knows? It’s all in good fun and who knows where it will lead us! It’s time to spread the love of tutus, darling!
