Upminster Tutu Tuesday: A Sparkling Day of Sequins, Swirls and the Disco Dolphin!

It's officially Tutu Tuesday in Upminster and you know what that means - time to unleash our inner ballerinas! Oh, how I love this town for embracing such a fun, whimsical day.

Today, the streets of Upminster are transformed. I mean, where else would you spot a gaggle of women sporting tutus as they head to the shops, the pub, or even the post office? It's a scene that just makes my heart flutter, and I don't think anyone is complaining about a little bit of sparkle and tutus on a Tuesday, right?

It’s not just about the tutus though – Tutu Tuesday is all about embracing your inner child, finding joy in the everyday, and well, maybe a little bit about reminding people that you've got legs for days (in the nicest possible way, of course). #tututuesday

But this isn't just about any old tutus. We're talking serious style here. Think frilly pastel pink tutus, complete with fluffy feather trims that would make a swan proud. Then there's the sparkling sequined tutus that catch the light like a thousand tiny disco balls, because, let's face it, a little bit of disco never hurts. Don’t forget the black tutĂșs for those of you who prefer a more dramatic look. Just imagine that classic “Black Swan” feel - all about strength and elegance. #discodolphin.

This year, the highlight has to be the ‘Disco Dolphin' tutu. It's basically the ultimate tutu, complete with sequins, fluffy frills and, of course, the iconic silhouette of a disco dolphin leaping through the air. I'm talking a shimmering, silvery dolphin that could make even the most stoic heart swoon.

We've even got some creative ones adding their own flair with colorful scarves, sequined tiaras, and the occasional sparkly stick-on diamond - the more sparkles, the better, I always say! You can even find a local artist painting tutus and doing live artwork. There’s a real sense of community, and the joy in Upminster today is just contagious.

To be honest, Upminster’s Tutu Tuesday has officially overtaken the local Christmas fair, if the level of excitement on these faces is anything to go by. It’s become a tradition that the whole community just embraces - and how could you not? It’s a day to remind you that a little bit of whimsy and laughter can truly brighten up even the most ordinary Tuesday.

So here's to Upminster, to the spirit of Tutu Tuesday, to the glitzy tutus, and, of course, to the magical Disco Dolphin! You’ve officially made my Tuesday sparkle!

My Tutu Tuesday style tips!

  • It's all about embracing your individuality, but a tutu is all about confidence! Don’t be afraid to flaunt what you’ve got and feel great doing it!
  • Let's be honest, nothing screams glamour quite like a bit of sparkle! A dash of glitter, sequins, or even just some shiny metallic fabric can elevate any look.
  • I always love adding a pop of color with accessories! This could be anything from a bright hat or a vibrant pair of shoes to even a touch of color with your makeup. Remember, there's no rule when it comes to this. Embrace the colour of your personality.

And, of course, don’t forget the most important thing: smile and embrace the day! It's a beautiful day for twirling.
