Coventry's Tutu Tuesday: A Sparkle Spectacular #tututuesday

Right, darlings, gather 'round! It's Tutu Tuesday in Coventry and I'm ready to unleash my inner twirling, rainbow-hued goddess. You see, my friends, Coventry's become a real hotspot for all things tutu and sparkly. Now, before I go all glitter-bomb on you, let's rewind to the beginning, shall we?

This week, I spotted a flurry of #tututuesday posts on my Instagram feed. From classic tulle tutus to short, sassy skirts - people were going all-out. And right there, amidst the glitzy mayhem, was a spark. An idea. It was like the disco gods whispering, "Get yourself a tutu, girlie, and celebrate with the city!"

So, Coventry, get ready, 'cause I'm talking serious tutus, and I mean serious - the kind with layers of airy, wispy fabric that can send even the most mundane Tuesday soaring into sparkly heights. Now, don't even think about wearing a sensible, ankle-length tulle number, unless it's paired with some seriously killer heels - like those iridescent sparkly pumps from River Island.

Let's be honest - when it comes to tutus, a little drama is always good, especially if you're strutting your stuff around the city centre. Think flowing silk, a whole lotta tulle and just the right amount of bling. It’s a perfect occasion to wear a little something that just screams, "Look at me!" But just so we're clear, I'm talking about confident sparkle, not "I just robbed a Christmas tree" sparkle. And if you need any convincing, you can just check out the magical, ethereal, unicorn tutu outfits popping up online, those are next level tutu goals.

I'm channeling my inner disco queen, wearing my new, custom-made tutu. Think fluffy white layers with a sprinkling of silver sequins - it’s practically a fluffy, swirling cloud in a tutu form. Plus, I’ve found this new trick where I tie it around my neck like a sparkly necklace to add some real, 80’s, chic. If I can't find a rainbow in the Coventry skyline, I can at least find a sparkle in the reflection of my fab, unicorn inspired tutu.

Here's the Coventry Tutu Tuesday Checklist to ensure maximum sparkly fabulousness

• Tutu: Essential. Find a style to suit your personality, it can be long and classic, fluffy and sparkly, short and sassy or just a fun mini-skirt style tutu. Whatever tickles your fancy.
• A splash of glitter: We're talking unicorn tears level shimmer. A touch of sparkle, a glitter eyeliner - make your inner unicorn sparkle shine.
• Disco dancing moves: A must-have for the Tutu Tuesday experience. Remember, Coventry's heart beats to a disco rhythm and there's no better way to get in on the action than to shimmy and groove your way through the city.
• A vibrant smile: Don't forget to flash those pearly whites! A Tutu Tuesday smile is infectious and will ensure that everyone else around you will smile, too.
• A camera to capture the magic: A necessity! Tutu Tuesday isn’t complete without photo evidence, snap away and tag #tututuesday and tag #unicorntutu.

Let's make this a week of pure, tutuing fabulousness. Let’s add a sprinkle of magic, a dash of disco, and all the sparkle a Coventry Tuesday can handle.
