Tutu Tuesday in Streatham: A Tutu Transformation It's a Tuesday morning and Streatham is buzzing, but today, there's an extra sprinkle of magic in the air. Why? It's Tutu Tuesday, of course! As a dancer, the sight of a tutu sends my heart soaring, and seeing it on others brings joy to my day. It's all about embracing the whimsical, the playful, the tutu-rific! And this Tuesday, Streatham is embracing it wholeheartedly. From the bustling market to the cafes and shops lining the high street, there's a flurry of tulle and tulle-inspired outfits. Ladies are sporting everything from the classic romantic tutu in shades of pale pink and ivory to vibrant neon pink, playful black and white combinations, and even some edgy shredded and layered designs. Gentlemen, bless their hearts, are wearing tutus too. A few brave souls have embraced the tulle, sporting tutu-inspired scarves and even tutu-topped hats. It's hilarious and charming! This isn't just about fashion though; it's about embracing the unexpected, stepping out of your comfort zone, and having some fun. For Tutu Tuesday, the aim isn't necessarily to be a ballerina. Thereā€™s no need for flawless plieĢ and arabesque. We're talking a relaxed take on the iconic look; think, a splash of tutus, a little tutu-inspired joy and lots of laughs! This Streatham Tutu Tuesday has truly embraced this spirit! Here's a rundown of my favorite sights: From Market Stalls to Tutu-tastic Shops - One of the first tutus I saw was a bright orange creation on a florist's stall. Her flowers were already glorious, but the tutu just made everything more dazzling. I saw shoppers smiling as they perused the blooms and caught a glimpse of that glorious tutu, it certainly caught everyoneā€™s eye. - Later, as I strolled past the bustling market, a charming young girl in a playful black and white tutu, complete with little ribbons cascading down her shoulders, caught my eye. I simply couldnā€™t help myself and had to give her a big, Tutu Tuesday smile. She blushed, and we both shared a happy giggle. That little tutu made the day, it really did. - There's an independent tea shop I frequent, the "T' Leaf Cafe,ā€ it's a place with vintage furniture and warm, inviting dĆ©cor, and today, a young server was sporting a gorgeous blue tulle creation. She was adding a lovely sprinkle of enchantment to my tea break, just like the cafeā€™s beautiful homemade cakes and sandwiches. - The "Boutique" on the high street, a place with vintage inspired fashion and homewares was in the Tutu Tuesday spirit too! A vintage record store near there has embraced Tutu Tuesday, with a display of vinyl in tutus. - Tutu Tuesday in Streatham is so heartwarming, a joy to witness. But as for the tutus themselves, let's look at the tutu style! Tutu Tuesday Fashion: An Ode to Tulle Letā€™s dive into the different Tutu Tuesday styles and variations weā€™re seeing on the streets. Thereā€™s more variety than you might think! * **The Classic Romantic Tutu:** Pale pinks and ivory shades that echo the soft dreamy ballet tutus. You could spot a few girls looking like dainty swans or delicate fairies, graceful in every step. * **The Black Swan Effect:** A slightly more edgier, mysterious black tutu, often a full circle and exaggerated, makes an appearance! Weā€™re all about some gothic chic here. * **The Party Tutu:** It wouldnā€™t be Tutu Tuesday without some extra, a dash of glitter! Bright tulle and multicoloured styles that scream celebration, maybe even with matching party accessories like a sparkling hair band or sparkly heels. * **The Casual Chic Tutu:** A relaxed tutu wearing style, a hint of the tutu style on an oversized skirt, a simple tulle skirt layered over trousers or jeans, with maybe just a simple white T-shirt. A great casual approach to the tulle! * **The Tutu-inspired Outfits:** I saw a lovely lady wearing a simple cream tutu tied around her handbag and another fashion-forward lady in a beautiful navy and tulle print blouse. Even the dog walker in front of my house tied a lovely bow of tulle to her little terrier's collar, who strutted his stuff as she led him down the road. Streatham's Tutu Tuesday was an amazing success! It's heart-warming to witness so much positivity, a wonderful sense of community, and, of course, the magic that a little tutu can bring! Don't forget, the world needs more tulle and joy. So, let's keep spreading the Tutu Tuesday vibes wherever we go! **#tututuesday #Streatham #tulle**
