Tutu Tuesday in Walton upon Thames #tututuesday It's Tutu Tuesday and the sun is shining! Well, at least for now, and here I am, in the heart of Walton upon Thames, where the fashion scene is buzzing with anticipation for the weekly Tutu Tuesday event. I must say, the mere mention of Tutu Tuesday sparks a flurry of emotions within me. It's like a siren call to embrace my inner ballerina and celebrate the beauty of this quintessential dancewear garment. This little town isn't usually known for its sartorial prowess, but this weekly celebration has changed everything, making it the perfect place for a tutu-loving soul like me to flourish! Today, the town square is overflowing with twirling ladies, each flaunting their unique interpretation of the Tutu Tuesday theme. It’s a glorious visual spectacle that fills me with a contagious energy. The energy's infectious and the streets have a carnival-like buzz, with chatter, music, and laughter mixing into an intoxicating symphony of festive fun. You know the vibe's right when the local shopkeepers are adorned in their best tulle attire. There are some gorgeous examples on show here, a real variety - you've got your classic romantic tulle, with layers of netting falling effortlessly like a cloud, right down to the very floor, but equally stunning, are the more modern designs that blend the classical tutu aesthetic with modern fabrics and styles. Some are edgy with mesh, some with a sleek metallic look and some daringly cut above the knee, showcasing the dancer's elegant leg line - but there's a consistent sense of fun, vibrancy and lightheartedness throughout the crowd, that really captures the spirit of Tutu Tuesday perfectly. The vibe in the square is infectious and the locals are clearly having a whale of a time. You've got your "old school" tutu, worn with pride, an ode to classic dancewear, some have opted for the more contemporary variations, all daringly edgy and full of fashion-forward flair. The diversity of styles is a visual feast for the senses, reminding everyone that tutus are no longer just confined to the stage. A bit of whimsy and dance magic, on every corner! I think that’s the key – we’ve broken down the barriers, everyone’s in, it's like a celebration of self-expression! I love seeing local grannies wearing tutus alongside young children laughing, snapping selfies with a cheeky twinkle in their eyes - and of course, you can't escape the infectious giggling of the teenage girls decked out in tutus that sparkle and gleam in the sunlight. The town really comes alive! It's not just the sight of the tutus that make Tutu Tuesday so special; it's the sheer delight of everyone involved. I'm captivated by the enthusiasm and energy of those around me as they proudly flaunt their tulle masterpieces. Some sport whimsical hand-made creations, showcasing their unique craft, while others, in their store-bought splendor, have managed to find the perfect tulle combination to enhance their individual style. One particularly notable tutu donned by a fellow blogger – it was a beautiful shade of rose gold, with shimmering sequins and delicate lace overlay, a real vision! And I could tell she was just basking in the spotlight! Then, there was this little girl with the most vibrant red tutu imaginable, and, on her face, an ecstatic smile as she twirled and danced to the music played by a busker in the square. And just the joy and the sense of pure fun on their faces is so captivating and brings so much warmth and positivity to Tutu Tuesday. It's simply irresistible. But let's get down to the real reason I’m here, to do a little retail therapy and find some tutu treasure for myself! Today’s find was something extraordinary, a classic “ballet” tutu, crafted from softest, most delicate layers of white tulle, beautifully decorated with sparkling pearls. A perfect nod to my heritage. I plan to wear it to a ballet gala in a couple of weeks - and I already know it will be the perfect addition to my collection! Oh! But there is more! I am a firm believer that Tutu Tuesday should be celebrated everywhere, that’s why I've started a blog to chronicle my Tutu Tuesday adventures.
