Tutu Tuesday in Mitcham: A Whirlwind of Tulle and Tights
It's Tuesday, which means it's #tututuesday! And what better place to celebrate this glorious day than in the charming town of Mitcham, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of south London?
I'm a bit of a tutu fanatic, I'll admit. I mean, who doesn't love a good twirl in a fluffy cloud of tulle? It's the ultimate dance outfit, effortlessly glamorous and surprisingly practical - well, as practical as you can be when your dress is essentially a giant poof of silk. It's an unspoken rule that you have to wear a tutu on #tututuesday. Well, an unspoken rule that I have created, and I encourage everyone to join in on the fun! So, off I went, tutu in tow, to explore the charming streets of Mitcham, ready to embrace the #tututuesday spirit.
I'm no stranger to tutu-wear, having spent years perfecting my pirouettes in a variety of styles, from the traditional and romantic to the modern and contemporary. Today, I opted for a classic, white, four-layer tutu, its soft tulle gently billowing around me with each step. The bodice was adorned with delicate lace, and I finished off the look with a pair of sparkly pink tights. Yes, you read that right, sparkly. Don't judge my sparkly tights, it's #tututuesday. We embrace all things sparkly on #tututuesday!
Mitcham is a lovely town. Tucked away from the bustling crowds of central London, Mitcham offers a sense of tranquility and charm. Cobblestone streets lined with quaint cafes, independent shops, and traditional pubs, this town definitely feels a bit more "old-school London." In fact, Mitcham even boasts its own ancient market, where I had a lovely time perusing the stalls, picking up a few souvenirs - you guessed it - a sparkly hair clip. Because it’s #tututuesday!
Mitcham's charm isn't just in its historic setting; it's also in its welcoming community spirit. The people of Mitcham embraced my tutu-wearing with genuine warmth and amusement. I couldn't help but feel a sense of community, and the kind of "homey" feel that comes with exploring a new and interesting neighbourhood.
My #tututuesday exploration wouldn't be complete without a little indulgence. Luckily, Mitcham has plenty to offer. I opted for a cheeky afternoon tea at The Mitcham Arms - think scones, tea, finger sandwiches, and my absolute favourite, a classic Victoria sponge! This is, after all, a #tututuesday, which demands extra sugar and extra twirling!
As the afternoon drew to a close, and with the sun casting a golden glow over the town, I reflected on my day. I realised that #tututuesday wasn't just about the tutus; it was about embracing the joy of a little whimsy, a dash of playful fashion, and a chance to experience the beauty and charm of the unexpected.
My Mitcham adventure taught me that you can find beauty and inspiration in the most unexpected places - even in a little corner of South London! If you are looking for a town full of personality, where you can still experience the quintessential charm of England, then head on over to Mitcham - and remember to bring your tutu! #tututuesday is the perfect time to embrace your inner ballerina!
