Oh my darling readers, I’m back with another fabulous fashion update! And you won't believe the inspiration for today's outfit - unicorns! No, really, this magical creature just stole my heart and my sartorial sensibilities. As soon as I saw a vision of a majestic white stallion sporting a magnificent rainbow horn, I knew exactly what my Tutu Tuesday look had to be!
This week's chosen haven of tutus is the gorgeous town of Macclesfield, nestled amongst the Cheshire hills. While renowned for its silk heritage, this charming town is the perfect spot to showcase a truly fantastical Tutu Tuesday. We’re talking sparkle, a whole lot of pink, and enough tulle to make your head spin - or maybe even let your imagination take flight on the back of a magical winged unicorn!
Let's break down the look:
The Tutu: A true pièce de résistance! Today's tutu is a showstopper - a romantic, ruffled number, perfect for whirling, twirling and radiating pure, unadulterated joy. Its pastel pink hue whispers sweet secrets and the sheer fabric shimmers like fairy dust in the sun. To amplify the fairytale effect, I’ve layered on a glittery pink fabric strip – just a hint of disco ball magic.
The Top: To accentuate the feminine and ethereal quality of the tutu, I opted for a simple white fitted top. It’s about letting the tutu be the star of the show, with the top adding a classic contrast, giving an air of elegance to the look.
The Footwear: Forget those pointy ballet shoes for now, darlings. We’re going for comfort and whimsical charm today! A pair of my beloved pink glitter flip flops, because sometimes even fairies need a bit of casual chic. And don’t worry, these glittery beauties are comfortable enough for a day of exploring the town's delights.
The Accessories: You can never have too much sparkle when it comes to unicorns, right? My go-to is my dazzling silver glitter necklace. And of course, we can't forget a headband - think pastel rainbow hues with shimmering, iridescent unicorn-inspired beads! To bring the magical theme full circle, I’ve paired it with a miniature unicorn pin that gleams brightly, echoing the whimsy of the entire outfit.
Macclesfield Delights: Macclesfield has captured my heart with its stunning parklands, hidden alleys brimming with local shops and a welcoming community atmosphere.
First stop, the bustling Market Place! Imagine fresh fruit, artisan breads and fragrant cheeses... I picked up a scrumptious pink raspberry macaroon to enjoy alongside a steaming cup of herbal tea. The delightful aroma of cinnamon and pink tea roses perfectly complemented the unicorn spirit.
The Macclesfield Town Hall stood proudly against the backdrop of my tutu, showcasing its stunning Georgian architecture. I couldn’t help but imagine a fairytale princess dancing down those grand staircases, shimmering under the cascading chandeliers.
Now, no trip to Macclesfield is complete without a stroll through the Macclesfield Silk Museum. The craftsmanship and history are truly awe-inspiring, reminding me of the timeless art of crafting beautiful things. I almost felt transported to a time when fairies and unicorns walked among humans.
But remember, dear readers, a tutu can make you the centre of attention wherever you are. Today, it’s not just about my personal style - it’s about spreading joy and reminding everyone to embrace their inner child, to believe in magic and unicorns, and to never lose sight of the whimsical spirit within.
So go on, be bold, embrace your inner ballerina, and channel your own inner unicorn spirit! Unleash your wild side and don't be afraid to let your tutu take flight. Don't forget to snap some pictures and tag me, using the hashtag #tututuesday! Let's make every Tuesday a dazzling unicorn celebration.

P.S. Feeling a little less sparkly and more adventurous? There's no denying the classic charm of a short tutu. Perhaps a full circle tutu for a real ballerina spin or even a long layered tulle tutu, ideal for twirling with a little extra drama!
Remember, the magic of the tutu is about making it your own!
