Batley’s Tutu Tuesday: A Rainbow of Frills and Sparkles
Right, so the big news, or should I say BIG tutu, this week is Tutu Tuesday! If you haven’t already got your head wrapped around this dazzling display of frills, prepare for a full-blown tulle explosion. For all those new to this fashion phenomenon – Tutu Tuesday is your chance to shimmy your way into a dazzling world of sequins, tutus, and unicorn magic!
As a ballet dancer who could sniff out a new tutu design a mile off, and who just so happens to have a passion for pink, disco music, and those mythical unicorn creatures, I had to make Tutu Tuesday a Batley highlight. It's a day to channel your inner ballerina, dance like there's no tomorrow, and sprinkle in a touch of mythical magic.
My go-to look is a vintage, powder-pink tutu with layers of tulle that give it an ethereal feel. Just add some shimmer with pink sequined ballet flats, and a glittery unicorn headband and BAM – instant fairytale realness! The magic of Tutues – no matter the shape, style, colour or length – is they make everyone look fabulous and super sparkly, and let’s be honest, that's all the inspiration anyone needs.
Now, what exactly do we need to look absolutely spectacular this #tututuesday ? Well, you have to start with a fantastic tutu - and there are SO many awesome tutus out there these days. Let’s start with the classics:
- The **Romantic Tutu** – think soft, flowing tulle. Ballet, I'm looking at you. A little whimsical with plenty of swish.
- **The "Superhero" tutu** – for the tutu warriors among us, you know the kind that aren’t afraid of a bold design and colour! And let’s not forget – pink!
- **The Short Tutu:** – Let’s keep it short and sweet - for those ladies with a super bold and sassy spirit who like to mix a tutu with anything - you can dress up a casual denim skirt or some ripped leggings. Short tutus are an all-day option for when your outfit just needs that magic spark!.
But tutus can’t just do it alone - we need that magic, magical sparkle: and this is where the unicorn element comes in. We need our tutu outfits to sparkle like unicorns just jumped out of the clouds!
Let’s be real – we've all dreamed of having that unicorn ride through our daily life and add a little sparkle and glitter wherever we go - and this is where Tutuesday comes in - the magic and sparkles are just around the corner! .
- **Think magical accessories.** This could be everything from glittery, sparkly hair bows with unicorn motifs, sparkly jewellery, even unicorn socks. We’re talkin' magic, glitter, rainbows, and all that fabulous, mythical magic! It's about bringing out that sparkle.
- **The unicorn makeup is super-important. A sprinkle of glitter on your eyes and a touch of sparkly unicorn lip gloss or lipstick! You don't have to be scared to experiment with this one. Sparkly eyelids and a little sparkle around the eyes – I mean – everyone loves sparkles – and they add a special fairy dust feel!
- **It’s all about unleashing that magical, unicorn goddess inside - It's Tutu Tuesday and unicorns are real! And there's no time like the present to bring out those mythical dreams of glitter and sparkles and let those tutus swirl with happiness!**
And now for the big, final tip - don't be afraid to embrace the ridiculousness, the fluffiness, and the pure joy that comes with Tutu Tuesday in Batley! Because honestly – the best part of Tutuesday - it’s so much fun, and we’ve gotta love that.
