An Ode to a Tutu  - A Love Song to Inner Whimsy
A few years ago I started noticing this trend in fashion blogging—tutus.Blame it on SJP and Sex and the City if you will, but tutus were suddenly everywhere. Petite girls, plus size girls, women of all shapes and colors were donning fluffy skirts and posing for pictures on rooftops, desert roads, beaches and urban city streets. another tutu pic… Cut to the present. I was deep in the throes of a stream of crappy dates—feeling blue and lackluster. I’d sought solace at the bottom two containers of Haagen Dazs Limited Edition Peanut Butter Pie. I had exasperated all my Back Up Guys via text and watched Sleepless in Seattle for the third time when I came to the conclusion of the cold, hard truth--- if I wanted to get My Magic back, I was going to have to get it myself. And that’s when the idea pinged over my head like a cartoon lightbulb: I wanted a tutu. What would I do with one? Where would I wear it? How on earth did buying one make sense? I thre w away e ach of these practical questions and turned to Etsy. A quick search revealed dozens of vendors offering tutus. I flipped through page after page till I found the perfect match and squealed in delight when I saw a HUGE color card to pick from. Did I want bright pink? Vivid aqua? Shocking yellow? And then I saw My Color. Electric Coral. It spoke it me. It Dolly Parton-sang to me. Before my Super Ego could take over, I placed an order for my very own, custom-made tutu. It arrived on a Thursday. Packed into a small, lightweight box. And when I took it out and released its glory unto the world--- the heavens sang. Pia Mia Boutique (who custom made my tutu) has agreed to do a giveaway. It's fluffy. It's fabulous... And it could be yours!
