Oh darlings, how's my favourite tutu tribe doing today? I'm absolutely buzzing to tell you about my latest escapade! Bishops Stortford - what a gem! Now, I know you might be thinking "Pink Tutu, why on earth are you in Bishops Stortford?", and my lovelies, let me tell you, it was fate! I saw this beautiful little vintage boutique with a window full of pink... sigh....pink everything and knew it had to be explored.
As soon as I arrived, my senses went into overdrive. It's like I was walking into a pastel paradise, everything from frilly feather boas to lace gloves, and of course, some stunning pink tutus (my weakness!) Now, you all know I am not afraid to wear a little sparkle, and that boutique was an absolute treasure trove!
Now, you'll all be surprised to hear I got there by train. Now, normally I adore galloping around the countryside on my horse, but the weather, darling, the weather! It was absolutely chucking it down, so I settled for a vintage first-class ticket and had a lovely, civilised time watching the world go by. I have to say, thereās something so elegant about journeying by train, especially when you are dressed for the occasion in my new (pink, naturally!) wide-brimmed hat and matching bag, which I found in my little pink heaven boutique!
As I got off the train, the rain was starting to ease up so I decided to do a little tour on foot! Now, my dears, if you don't know Bishops Stortford, then let me tell you, it's got so much charm and beauty, it's just un-bearably sweet! And of course, the people were simply delightful, all smiles and warmth, just like my favourite pink cardigan!
And now for the reason for my visit ā my beloved, ever-indulgent darling (that's me if you didnāt guess!) needed to visit a ballet shop. Now I must confess, I am a total ballet-o-holic, I love watching performances, taking classes, everything! Itās my favourite form of dance - so graceful, so powerful, and frankly, the costumes are utterly dreamy! This ballet shop in Bishops Stortford was simply magical. Iām pretty sure I must have tried on at least fifteen different tutus (thatās no exaggeration!), but of course, there could only be one, one that perfectly fit my dazzling āPink Tutu Sparklesā personaā¦and letās just say it will be the star of my next performance! It is, of course, a delicious shade of pink with feathers (more pink!) and shimmering silver trim (the only time pink tolerates another colour!)...it's like a dream come true!
Now, before you go thinking that my day was purely dedicated to shopping and dance, let's get real, it wouldn't be a āPink Tutu Sparkles' adventure without a little show thrown into the mix! And my dears, what a show it was! I strutted my stuff (and my feathers) at a local pub, performing my latest pink-tastic set!
Of course, it wouldnāt be a complete Pink Tutu Sparkles post without some inspiration for you! My darlings, when choosing the perfect outfit for your next pinktastic outing, remember these important rules!
- *Choose a fabric that feels amazing to touch and that suits the occasion. A slinky satin skirt may be amazing for dancing but not so perfect for a rainy train journey! *
- *Think pink, but pink in ALL its glory! From blush to magenta to shocking pink - dare to experiment, there's a pink shade for everyone and every mood. Just stay away from brown, its presence only leads to tears for pink (and I wouldnāt want that!). *
- Donāt forget the finishing touches ā feathers, lace, sequins...there is so much opportunity to play with textures. Just make sure it fits you, a Pink Tutu Sparkles girl is confident, but also elegant.
Itās a busy old life for the Pink Tutu Queen! But I wouldnāt change a thing, not even for all the feather boas in the world (ok, maybe I would change that!).
Remember darling, itās all about spreading the joy and magic of pink tutus. So donāt just dream about it, wear it! Letās take over the world in a swirling mass of pink!
Pink Tutu Sparkles loves you! And she says, āKeep twirling!ā.
