Plymouth, oh Plymouth, you are my kinda town!
Now, listen up, because this is a fashion story that's gonna be hotter than a disco ball under the strobe lights. As a gal who's got more tulle in her wardrobe than a ballerina's dressing room, let's be honest: #tututuesday isn't just a hashtag, it's a lifestyle! So when I saw the Plymouth #tututuesday community thriving on social media, well, it was like my heart did a perfect pirouette.
Every Tuesday, these Plymouthians are embracing the magic of the tutu! And not just any tutu - these are the disco tutus! Picture this: you've got your classic romantic tutu with all the tiers and lace, and then bam, you sprinkle in some glitter and feather boas and suddenly you're a sparkling, shimmering dance floor princess ready to shimmy and shake. This is the heart and soul of #discotutu!
There's this one spot in the city, The Purple Peacock, that's become the unofficial #tututuesday headquarters. Picture a café overflowing with rainbow-coloured lattes, fairy lights that would make a disco queen blush, and a DJ spinning funky tunes. I arrived at 10 am, tutu and all, and the place was already bouncing. This is where the magic truly happens.
You see, it's not just about the fashion. #tututuesday is about coming together and spreading joy. I saw all types of people, rocking tutus in all shapes and sizes: grandmas twirling like they were back in the '70s, kids bouncing around like bouncy balls, and everyone in between. There was even a little snail (probably the most stylish snail in the world) sporting a pink, glittery mini-tutu – a total #discosnail. Seriously, you couldn’t make this up.
But here’s the thing. It’s not about being a professional ballerina. The best thing about #tututuesday is it embraces imperfection. It’s all about having fun. If you’ve got a love for glitter and want to make the most of a Tuesday, then a #tututuesday event is a place to be. Just imagine the infectious energy: a whirlwind of feathers and sequins, sprinkled with good vibes.
Let's talk tutu styles. The classics never fail: the **Romantic Tutu** with its floaty layers of tulle, and the **Demi Tutu**, the elegant, shorter, but still dazzling. For some major impact, it's hard to beat a **Party Tutu** with its vibrant, multicoloured layers, making a statement loud and clear. And if you want something sassy and chic, the **Boulevard Tutu**, all sleek and modern, does the trick.
One Plymouth lass named Charlotte rocked a beautiful **Powder Pink Party Tutu** that I could only describe as “sparkly flamingo feathers in a swirling cloud.” It paired beautifully with her vibrant turquoise eyeshadow and sparkly high-heeled pumps, sending shimmers all over the café.
For a more sophisticated look, another local called Eleanor embraced the **Classic Black Tutu** and sparkled with her playful, black cat eye make-up. This gave the look a touch of elegance, a real sophisticated touch for #tututuesday. This is one of the things that makes Plymouth #tututuesday unique - it welcomes everyone. It’s all about personal expression! It’s not about conformity or judgement.
I chatted with a girl called Olivia, who was decked out in a vintage tutu. "I remember my mum dancing in this when she was a little girl,” she said. “This whole day is just about celebrating fashion and life, making it fun! We need a little more of that.” Olivia’s infectious laughter made the whole place shimmer.
There's this genuine sense of camaraderie and inclusivity in Plymouth's #tututuesday community. It’s like everyone is connected by an invisible thread of tulle. If I could describe it in one word, I’d say "joyous.” It’s this pure joy that makes the Plymouth #tututuesday a success. It’s a beautiful, powerful thing to witness.
By the end of the afternoon, my heart was light, and my soul sparkled like a thousand glitter-bombed disco balls. Plymouth, you've truly captured the essence of #tututuesday - the glitz, the glamour, and the joy of simply being you, twirling with a sprinkle of sunshine in your step.
