Mitcham Makes a Tutu-licious Splash on #TutuTuesday
Let's get one thing straight, folks: Mitcham is not your average South London town. Sure, it’s got its charming pubs and green spaces, but it's also where a whole lot of fashion magic is happening. Every Tuesday, Mitcham transforms into a whirlwind of tulle and glitter thanks to #Tutuesday. And trust me, it's the hottest (and pinkest) event in town!
This week, I strutted my stuff in a hot pink, voluminous tulle tutu that had the whole Mitcham High Street turning heads. It was a true explosion of frills and twirls. Picture a candy floss dream come true, a ballerina's best friend. I mean, seriously, it’s the perfect excuse to break out your sparkly platform heels and do a little shimmy and shake. Who doesn't love a little disco glam?
Now, before you think this is some random fashion whim, let's rewind a bit. It all started with a little (well, not so little) snail. Meet the disco snail – that's right, folks – the real-life, disco ball-loving mollusk that crawled its way into Mitcham’s hearts. I know, I know, what's the connection? Well, imagine my delight when I found out that this quirky creature is, in fact, a master of tutu twirling. Talk about a fashion icon!
Inspired by the disco snail’s penchant for all things glittery, Mitcham's fashion community decided to unleash a weekly wave of tulle-tastic madness. And let's be real, I'm all about anything that promotes a good dose of sparkle and fabulousness. Think classic ballet tutus reimagined for the street, modern, street-style takes with funky layers, and even DIY tutus for the crafty ones among us. Seriously, Mitcham's residents are outdoing themselves! You’ve got your tutu skirts, your tutu tops, and, for the bolder fashionistas, your tutu dresses. The only limit is your imagination!

This is not your ordinary town fair, let me tell you. There's a contagious energy, a sense of belonging and a genuine celebration of individuality and, of course, a love for the magic of tutus. And it’s not just about the fashion. It’s about getting out there, spreading some cheer, and, above all, having a lot of fun. So, whether you’re a tutu veteran or a first-timer, join the party and embrace the tulle!
For me, the beauty of #TutuTuesday is its simplicity: wear what makes you happy and join the crowd. In Mitcham, even if you're not twirling in a tutu, you’re part of the community, embraced by the vibrant energy. And you know, that’s pretty magical!
