Tutu Tuesday in Carshalton
Alright darlings, it's time for Tutu Tuesday and, let me tell you, the fashion stakes were higher than a prima ballerina on pointe! Carshalton really stepped up to the plate today, with more fabulous tutus than you could shake a feather boa at. #tututuesday
First, let’s talk trends. This week was all about **pastel perfection.** Think sugary pinks and dreamy blues. One girl even rocked a powder blue tulle number that shimmered like a disco ball - I practically needed sunglasses to look at her! Then there were the **vintage vibes**. A handful of brave souls donned some seriously fabulous, old-school tutus - think puffy skirts and bold sequins, channeling their inner 1950s ballet star. Oh, and we can't forget the **bold and beautiful** - some daring souls embraced vibrant hues and quirky designs, proving that a tutu can be just as fabulous with a punk rock attitude.
But my favourite moment had to be when a little girl, probably about five years old, skipped down the street in her sunshine yellow tutu, giggling as she twirled. It just reminded me that tutu-wearing isn't just about fashion, it’s about joy, expression, and embracing your inner ballerina.
And the cherry on top? The arrival of **"Disco Snail."** It wasn't a snail, per se, more a guy in a pink sequin suit, shimmering like a disco ball under the summer sun, dancing his heart out to ABBA. We know he wasn’t a *real* disco snail, but the sight of him added a dose of sheer brilliance to Carshalton's already brilliant Tutu Tuesday.
Now, onto the nitty gritty! Here's the breakdown of the trends that stole the show:
- The Classic Tutu: Still a firm favourite, this tutu usually consists of layers of tulle and a fitted bodice. It's a versatile option, and looks equally good with a t-shirt and trainers, or a sparkly crop top and heels.
- The Poofy Tutu: The Poofy Tutu was out in force this week - imagine a skirt from a fairytale and you’ve got the idea! If you're looking to make a statement, the poofy tutu is your best bet. But be warned, you'll be attracting a lot of attention!
- The Romantic Tutu: These tutus were all about delicate layers and soft colours. Perfect for a springtime stroll or a picnic in the park.
- The Edgy Tutu: We saw some edgy tutus in Carshalton too! Think leather, studs, and a touch of grunge. It's a statement look, and definitely not for the faint of heart.
- The Modern Tutu: Some creatives sported a unique modern take. Forget the classic white - it was a rainbow of textures, designs and even tulle mixed with denim!
I don't know about you, but I'm already dreaming of next week's #tututuesday. What kind of tutu will you be rocking? Let me know in the comments below, and don't forget to tag #discosnail!
