Tutu Tuesday in Bletchley: A Fashionable Feast For The Eyes!

Bletchley, a town perhaps more famed for its code-breaking past than its fashion credentials, woke up to a different kind of energy this Tuesday: the electric buzz of #tututuesday. I, your trusty ballet-obsessed blogger and queen of all things frilly, was there, glitter in my eyes and a sassy pink tulle skirt swirling around my ankles.

Now, before we get too carried away with this tutu explosion, let’s acknowledge the fact that Bletchley isn’t exactly known as a hotbed of dancewear fashion. I mean, where do you even *find* a tutu in this place? But I’m here to tell you, my fellow fashionistas, that the town is not to be underestimated. Hidden within those charming brick streets lies a secret yearning for a touch of glamour – a yearning that the glorious, swirling, sequined majesty of a tutu can definitely satisfy.

The streets of Bletchley were alive with colour and laughter as women (and the occasional brave soul in a male tutu) donned their most fabulous frocks. The sight was truly inspiring. From the classic, floor-length, poufy tutus that would make even Baryshnikov blush, to the cheeky, shorter styles perfect for twirling around town, Bletchley was a veritable tapestry of tutus. My personal fave? The ones with the sparkle – the more sparkle, the better. Honestly, who doesn’t love a bit of shimmering magic in their life?

There was a definite theme in the air: disco. I’m talking Studio 54 vibes, glitter-bomb aesthetics, and everything about that glorious 70s dance floor culture. The #discosnail, a snazzy, glitter-covered snail, was spotted chilling near the market square, making friends and looking pretty fabulous. We need to make this a permanent fixture, I’m telling you!

What did I learn from #tututuesday in Bletchley? Tutus aren’t just for the stage anymore! These are wardrobe staples ready to unleash a dose of happiness and self-expression. Who knew that a simple dance outfit could make a whole town feel this fab?

But let’s get down to the nitty-gritty, because every fabulous ensemble deserves its own applause. Here’s my pick of the best #tututuesday looks:

  • The “Dancing Queen” : This lass had the whole classic, floor-length, white tutu down to a tee, with a splash of neon pink sequins adding that extra pop of drama.
  • “She’s A Rainbow”: I just loved the bold, multicoloured tutu worn by this girl – her entire ensemble was a celebration of sunshine and joy. The perfect pick for a happy and energetic vibe.
  • “Rock Your Tutu” : Let’s give it up for the girls in their black, rocker chic tutus! They were like little dancing pirates, with ripped tights and studded belts - truly owning the rebel spirit with flair.
  • “Little Miss Sunshine”: Forget “Miss Congeniality”, this little darling had everyone captivated. Her bright yellow tutu with sunflowers printed all over it was a delightful nod to sunshine and springtime joy.
  • “Midnight Delight”: Let's face it, black is the perfect color for any occasion and the tutu wasn’t left behind. This bold look, with a simple, but effective, black tulle tutu with dramatic feathers adding an air of sophistication, won me over instantly.

It wasn’t just the fashion that made #tututuesday a blast – it was the whole atmosphere. Everyone was grinning ear to ear, there was an undeniable feeling of camaraderie. We all had that “in it together” moment.

And you know what? I don’t think anyone cared about the chances of accidentally tripping on a rogue tutu while walking. There were definitely some near misses!

But that was all part of the fun, right? Let’s face it, a little risk and a whole lot of twirling make for a truly memorable day.

To those who bravely wore their tututuesday outfits - you rock! To Bletchley – you have the makings of a truly wonderful, fashionable town! And finally, to the #discosnail – thank you for making this day even more memorable!

Until next #tututuesday!
