Walthamstow’s Tutu Tuesday: Where the disco snail shines #tututuesday

Oh, Walthamstow, you whimsical wonderland! You know I'm a massive fan of a classic tutu, and when I saw the buzz around #tututuesday, I knew I had to sashay my way over.

Let’s be real, I wasn't surprised. You lot are proper trendsetters – you already know what’s hot before it hits the high street, and you don’t shy away from expressing yourselves. A tutu-themed day? Naturally, it was going to be an absolute smash.

Walking into the Market, it felt like I'd stepped into a pastel-hued disco dreamland, with vibrant shades of pink, yellow and lavender bouncing off the retro-chic buildings. From frothy, frilled tutus to sleek and minimalist designs, each and every style brought a unique charm to the scene.

One thing I’ve learnt, a good tutu is not just a fluffy garment - it’s an attitude. Every outfit was dripping with confidence and an infectious sense of fun that simply radiated.

Disco Snail Takes the Spotlight #discosnail

Look, I've gotta admit - I’ve never been one for being predictable. And the #tututuesday spirit definitely echoed that sentiment.

Imagine my delight when I saw it - a disco ball snail crawling merrily along the market stalls, leaving a trail of sparkly shimmer.

The moment was perfect, epitomising everything Walthamstow stands for - individuality, self-expression, and a good dose of absurdity. I can't say enough about the creative brilliance that unfolded! The disco snail was truly the embodiment of the #tututuesday vibes.

It was almost as though the little fellow was telling us: "Be yourselves. Let your feathers fly. Put on a tutu, crank up the disco tunes and own your fabulous selves!"

Tutu Styles That Turned Heads

Honestly, I could gush about all the fabulous tutus all day, but I'll keep this sweet and to the point! Here's a taste of the fabulous tutus that stole my heart and added extra pizazz to Walthamstow's Tutu Tuesday.

  • The Classic Frilled Beauty:
  • Oh, the traditional ballerina tutu! It never disappoints, with its cascading layers of tulle that whisper secrets of dreams and wonder. These classics held a certain timeless grace that brought a touch of fairy-tale magic to the scene.

  • The Short and Sweet Mini-Tutu:
  • Talk about chic! The short tutus were totally rocking it, adding a playful twist to any look, whether you were channeling your inner ballerina or just seeking a touch of whimsical sparkle. I saw these teamed with crop tops, graphic tees, and even smart jackets for a truly individual touch.

  • The Chic Asymmetrical Creation:
  • This wasn’t just your average tutu - we’re talking edgy, artistic and oh-so-dramatic. Imagine dramatic flounces that trailed in their wake, playing with form and shape for a bold, and totally individual look.

  • The Tutu as a Statement Accessory:
  • Okay, this one had me totally in awe! The tulle didn’t need to be a standalone outfit - I saw a couple of beauties incorporating tulle scarves or a dramatic tulle veil as the finishing touch to their looks. And trust me, it made a statement!

More than a Dress-Up Day: Tutu Tuesday Means Community!

Forget the fashion-obsessed stereotypes - there was no elitism, just pure, infectious fun. This day felt like a community celebration that brought people together and put smiles on everyone's faces, making #tututuesday an undeniable highlight of my week.

This, my friends, is the essence of Walthamstow - a place that welcomes creativity, embraces individuality, and isn't afraid to get a little bit ridiculous!

So, I bid you farewell from the fabulous #tututuesday scene. May the glitter stay with you and the disco snail always find its way into your dreams. Stay sparkly, my lovely Walthamstow! Until next time, my dear disco darlings!
