Walsall, the Land of Tutu Tuesdays
Well darlings, it’s your girl, the one and only, **GlitterandGrace** coming at you live from the heart of the West Midlands, Walsall to be precise. And you know what today is? It's Tutu Tuesday!
Now, I’m not saying Walsall is exactly the capital of the fashion world. More like the capital of “What’s happening on a Tuesday?” You could probably ask someone on the street, “What day is it?” and they’d say, “It’s either Tuesday or Wednesday, but there’s a really good bargain on mince at Aldi, so probably Tuesday.” But listen, even if it takes a Tuesday, Walsall is stepping up its fashion game, and they're doing it with tutus.
Honestly, I’m so here for this new, unexpected, and totally glorious development. So what’s actually happening with Tutu Tuesdays, you ask?
Tutus in All Their Glory
- Picture it, you’re in Walsall. Maybe you’re getting your chip butty at Greggs or buying a handbag from the market, and BAM! There you see it – a tutu.
- And not just any tutu! This isn’t your typical ballerina tutu. These are tutus that go big. You’re talking feathered tutus, sequins-for-days tutus, maybe even some tulle that rivals the fluffiest sheep you’ve ever seen.
- I spotted a guy in a floral tutu while I was at the Boots pharmacy, looking very dashing and quite honestly rocking it more than any ballet dancer I know.
- One woman wore a tutu with a floral-print blouse and an oversized straw hat, a masterclass in summer chic and whimsy!
- And there was a little girl, all of about three, rocking a bright pink tutu and her favorite Mickey Mouse shirt - pure heart melting, let me tell you. The best part is she was definitely enjoying herself - twirling and prancing her heart out, the epitome of a true tutu Tuesday Queen!
- So whether it’s a classic tulle or a neon, disco-ready masterpiece, the only thing people in Walsall are caring about this Tuesday is #tututuesday.
Who's Behind This Wonderful Trend?
No one quite knows, darling. The truth is, I like to imagine some sort of fairy godmother – or fairy snail to be precise - appeared over Walsall town centre, a sparkle of glitter and magic. "Go forth! Embrace your inner ballerina!” this little disco snail exclaimed in a high-pitched, charming voice, “Tutu Tuesdays will be the highlight of your week.” And they’re totally right!
My Take On Tutu Tuesday
Listen, I live for a statement piece. You've got to have a little fun with fashion and this movement in Walsall just speaks to me. A little tulle in your life will boost your confidence like nothing else.
More Thoughts on the Trend
I wouldn't want to knock the usual Tuesday looks, of course - let’s face it, jeans and a jumper are the bread and butter of our daily style - but this Tutu Tuesday trend is just...well, glorious. If everyone's getting the memo that Tuesdays are for tutus, then I'm sure that some amazing things will be happening in this humble town, a beacon of whimsy and self-expression! And guess what, darlings? You better believe I’ll be joining the fun next Tutu Tuesday! I’m thinking of channeling the disco queen vibe in a black velvet tutu - a little bit old Hollywood glam mixed with 70's disco and maybe a few feathers - who's with me?
And just like that, I feel like Walsall is a bit of magic sprinkled in every day. Who knew that tutus were the key to that?
