2024 June Pride Month in a Pink Tutu in Wishaw

Hello, darlings! Emma here, back with another fashion-tastic update from your favourite pink-loving, tutu-obsessed, disco-dancing blogger. Today, I'm bringing you all the vibrant, joyful, glitter-infused vibes from my Pride Month adventure in the heart of Wishaw!

As you all know, June is a time for celebrating love, diversity, and the incredible LGBTQ+ community. So, naturally, this fashionista couldn't resist a trip to the epicentre of Wishaw Pride. It wasn't just about the parades and the parties (though those were fab!), but it was also about showing my solidarity, spreading a message of acceptance, and – of course – getting the ultimate chance to flaunt a spectacularly pink tutu!

Now, let's talk tutus. Not just any tutu, mind you, but a breathtaking confection of fluffy pink tulle, custom-designed for this very special occasion. I mean, what better way to honour the spirit of Pride than with a dazzling garment that screams "boldness" and "joy" from every layer?

It was a riot of pink – think fuchsia, flamingo, bubblegum, and every shade in between! I topped it off with a sassy sequined bodice, a crown of pink feather boas, and a pair of sparkly pink knee-high boots. The entire ensemble shimmered in the Wishaw sunlight, drawing delighted gasps and cheers from fellow Pride goers.

The Pride parade was an absolute spectacle! From the first beat of the music, an infectious energy filled the air. Everyone was bursting with smiles and excitement. There were giant rainbow flags waving in the breeze, a diverse sea of colourful attire, and an unwavering spirit of inclusivity that was truly inspiring.

The highlight, for me, was witnessing the joy of the LGBTQ+ community. The sheer love and acceptance were palpable. Seeing families, friends, and partners hand-in-hand, celebrating their freedom and their identity, was truly heart-warming.

And of course, no Pride celebration would be complete without the iconic disco music! Wishaw Pride went all out with a live DJ who had us all dancing in the streets. I even got to strut my stuff on stage, a brief impromptu performance that elicited a cheer so loud it made my ears ring!

It was amazing to see people of all ages, from little kids bouncing around to seasoned seniors grooving to the beat, all united in a shared passion for music, dancing, and the spirit of Pride.

This experience solidified my belief that pink is the perfect colour for expressing your inner diva and embracing your true self. Pink is bold, it's fun, it's playful, and it definitely makes a statement!

Wearing my pink tutu wasn't just about fashion – it was a symbolic gesture. It was about wearing my heart on my sleeve (or rather, my tulle) and proclaiming loud and proud that love is love, regardless of who you love.

Speaking of love and tutus, my fabulous followers, let's make a statement! I'm challenging you all to celebrate the spirit of Pride this #TutuTuesday! Grab your most outrageous tutu, add some vibrant colour, and show the world your own unique sense of pride. Don't be afraid to flaunt it – embrace the glitter, the sequins, the fabulousness!

Post your Tutu Tuesday looks on social media with #TutuPride and #PrideMonth. Let's create a global explosion of pink, glitz, and pure unadulterated pride!

I'm leaving Wishaw feeling so incredibly inspired and empowered. It was a day filled with music, love, and an explosion of colour that I won't soon forget. This was my first experience with Wishaw Pride, but it definitely won't be my last. I can't wait to celebrate with you all again next year!

Until then, keep those tutus twirling and let's spread the love and acceptance, one pink plume at a time!

Stay fabulous,
