Tutu Tuesday 147

Sutton in Ashfield: Tutu Tuesday Triumph!
It’s Tutu Tuesday and, honestly, my heart is already doing pirouettes! Sutton in Ashfield, you have absolutely blown me away today with your enthusiastic embrace of all things tutus! First off, let's talk trends! I saw an *amazing* mix of styles, showing just how much tutu fashion has evolved. * **The Classics:** There were plenty of classic tulle tutus, perfectly puffy and perfectly pink, but some added their own twist - sparkly embellishments, daring colour combinations like a vibrant blue and orange mix, or even black tutus for a more edgy vibe. These classic tutus are truly a timelessly elegant choice and perfect for a timeless ballet vibe. * **The Modern Tutu:** We're not talking ballet only, people! Many of you nailed the 'modern tutu look' perfectly, whether that was with denim, leggings or a simple but elegant dress and a tutu skirt, even a floaty chiffon maxi skirt! * **The Upcycled Tutu:** Huge respect to the upcycling heroes - it was truly inspiring to see vintage tutus being re-purposed with fabric dye, embellishments, and clever alterations! * **The Tutu in Every Form:** I even saw a couple of people who had created amazing upcycled tutus from sheer curtains - ingenious! I’m blown away by the sheer creativity and positive energy that has taken over Sutton in Ashfield today. You lot, have got that Tutu Tuesday vibe down to a T! The thing that’s been really awesome is seeing people of all ages get involved. There was a little girl, maybe five, strutting down the street with her fluffy pink tutu, her dad wearing a matching t-shirt, both sporting grins wider than the Market Square! That’s the true magic of #Tututuesday – spreading the love of tutus, laughter and a sense of playfulness that crosses generations. Even the cafes were getting in on the action! There was a fantastic "Tutu Treats" promotion in one, with tutu-themed cupcakes, and I even spotted a local artist selling adorable hand-painted tutus, the perfect keepsakes of the day. It's days like these that truly make me believe in the power of fashion and the ability to bring a community together through something as simple, yet delightful, as a tutu. Now, before I slip into another of my endless ballet puns ("It was *tutu*ly amazing!") - I have to say, if you missed #Tututuesday in Sutton in Ashfield, you missed a whole lot of fun! Let’s hope #Tututuesday continues to be a triumph each week, filling Sutton in Ashfield and communities everywhere with even more joy and sparkle.
