Oxford Tutu Tuesday: A Whirlwind of Tulle and Tutus
Okay, darlings, gather round, it’s Tutu Tuesday in Oxford, and let me tell you, the city is buzzing!
As a lifelong dancer and blogger, it’s safe to say I live and breathe all things tutus. And the past few years, the love for these iconic pieces has soared, reaching far beyond the dance studio. Tutus are a fashion statement now, a bold declaration of individuality, a whimsical escape from the mundane. And where better to embrace this tutu renaissance than the scholarly and picturesque city of Oxford?
The Oxford Tutu Tuesday scene is vibrant and eclectic, a delightful mix of tutu lovers from all walks of life. From seasoned dancers strutting their classic pancake tutus to young girls spinning in their frothy pouter tutus, to university students rocking their layered tulle skirts in a bohemian style, to even the odd, daring gent sporting a cheeky tutu (bravo!), the atmosphere is electric.
This Tutu Tuesday, I spotted a plethora of delightful styles that made my heart skip a beat.
- A charming couple dressed in matching pink tutus with oversized bows – a love story in tulle!
- A group of girlfriends swirling around in an array of vibrant colours: a true rainbow of tulle.
- A young lady with a sassy attitude rocking a black tutu and knee-high boots - the perfect blend of chic and punk.
- And of course, I had to share the scene of a street musician playing his violin, draped in a tutu - sheer brilliance!
There’s just something about a tutu that transcends age, profession, even gender! It's about embracing that childlike sense of joy and whimsy, adding a touch of magic to your everyday life. I know that feeling well. Each twirl in a tutu is a reminder to keep dancing through life, to embrace the beautiful imperfections, to chase the sunshine and never lose your sparkle. It's a reminder to let your inner ballerina shine.
So if you’re in Oxford today, or even just browsing social media, take a look at #tututuesday. Let the swirling layers and the effortless flow inspire you, ignite your inner child, and embrace the joy of tutus. Because it’s not just a fashion trend, it's a feeling, a movement, a testament to the magic of a twirl.
See you on Tutu Tuesday in Oxford next month!
Stay sparkly, darlings!
