Derby Tutu Tuesday - a Glittery and Girly Affair!
Tutu Tuesday is my absolute favourite day of the week! And this week, I couldn't wait to hit the streets of Derby. What can I say? I'm a massive fan of pink, sparkly things and anything remotely disco, so getting all glammed up in my fave tulle was a dream come true.
For this Tutu Tuesday, I went for a super girly, bouncy pink tulle skirt. You know the kind - layers and layers of frothy loveliness that make you feel like a princess. I teamed it with a chic, black fitted top and my go-to statement jewellery, sparkly earrings that glittered like disco balls! (More on my love for disco later, promise!)
Now, Derby may not be the first place that springs to mind when you think of fashion, but I'm here to tell you, it's actually a little gem. We have some seriously cute boutiques hiding around corners and independent designers who make gorgeous pieces. The best thing about Tutu Tuesday, for me at least, is it gets people talking and opens up conversations about fashion.
This week's #Tututuesday really set the town on fire. Here's why it was a massive success (with extra glitter!):
- **It wasn't just about ballerinas, though obviously those who rock the full-on classic tutu look deserve a huge round of applause (seriously, the skills required to pull off those perfect leaps and pirouettes in those gorgeous creations, wow!), but everyone was embracing the 'tutu spirit'!** I saw some pretty amazing tutus from the bouffant, 50s inspired tutus to the casual, modern designs that were more about flair than traditional ballet. I even spotted a cute couple, the fella decked out in a black satin bomber jacket with a sequinned tutu tied around his waist! #tututuesday #discoking
- ** Derby went pink! Everywhere I looked, I was surrounded by flashes of blush, fuschia, bubblegum and watermelon hues!** And you know what? It really brightened up the day. Pink is my all-time fave, so seeing the town embrace its softer side really made my heart skip a beat! And let's be honest, there’s no better way to add some whimsy to your everyday look than with a splash of pink. #tutuTuesday #pinkpower
- **The 'Disco Snail'!** One of my all-time favourite things that happened in Derby was meeting a snail called 'Sparky', who had been meticulously adorned with sparkly, iridescent disco balls, making him look like the coolest, most sparkly disco ball ever! It truly brought a smile to everyone’s face, reminding us of the magic and joy that fashion can bring.
- **I love how tutu Tuesday celebrates individuality and embraces creativity in the city! ** I was so inspired by the diversity in style. Whether people went for bold, dramatic designs, playful, vintage-inspired tutus or contemporary interpretations, the energy and excitement were electric. It was truly inspiring to see how people in the town found unique ways to incorporate their personal style into the tutu trend, whether they were budding fashionistas or seasoned veterans. ** #tutuTuesday #Derbystyle**
Derby was bursting with tutus. The main shopping street was a tutu parade with a real mix of fashion. I saw every style imaginable from ultra-glam to chic and classic tutus, a huge variety! It was all so refreshing to see and made me excited about the fashion scene in Derby.
There's a reason Tutu Tuesday is my absolute fave day of the week. The atmosphere, the energy and the joy are absolutely contagious and, for me, represent everything amazing about fashion! From playful experimentation to confidence and style – there's something truly special about the tutus!
