Tutu Tuesday in North Shields: Unicorn Dreams and a Disco Fever

Oh, darling, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and it's Tutu Tuesday in North Shields! You know what that means? It's time to unleash our inner ballerina, embrace our inner sparkle, and let the disco ball vibes flow!

This week, I'm feeling particularly inspired by unicorns. They're mythical creatures of pure magic, their rainbows and shimmering horns epitomizing the absolute delight of this glorious season. So, naturally, I'm wearing a tutu that would make even the most fabulous unicorn blush!

It's a custom-made dream, this tutu. You know me, darling, I love a classic, so the base is a soft, romantic tulle, like a delicate cloud of the sweetest pink imaginable. But this tutu is more than just pretty; it's a statement.

It has a gorgeous layer of silver sequins sewn around the bottom, mimicking a unicorn's mane flowing in the breeze. But the real show-stopper? A sparkly horn appliqué, glistening like a gemstone, perched at the front, sending out the most radiant sparkle imaginable. Honestly, it's a symphony of fabulousness!

As for the rest of my ensemble? A simple, yet chic, fitted white tank top for maximum comfort. After all, twirling requires freedom! And on my feet, my trusty pointe shoes, polished to perfection. Let's just say, my shoes sparkle even more than my tutu, and they definitely match the spirit of this disco fever I'm feeling!

And don't even get me started on the makeup! I'm channeling the magic of the unicorn with shimmery eyeshadows, a rosy blush, and a subtle iridescent glitter highlighting my cheekbones. Think "pastel dreams" meets "disco diva", darling, because that's the perfect Tutu Tuesday energy for you, right?

The atmosphere in North Shields today is electric. The shops are buzzing, the café terraces are overflowing, and people are wearing their own whimsical interpretations of Tutu Tuesday.

I've seen some truly remarkable tutu styles on the street. A daring lady in a vibrant emerald green tutu paired with chunky platform boots – seriously chic! There's a group of friends rocking denim skirts and denim jackets, all topped with vibrant yellow tulle tutus – fun, playful, and effortlessly stylish!

But let's be real, I can't resist a bit of competitive tutu spotting! Today, there are so many delightful interpretations, from the classic powder-puff pink tutu, oh, how I love the drama of a poofy, grand tutu! to the cheeky, cheeky black tulle layered over denim shorts – seriously, these are giving off “downtown disco queen" vibes! Every one of these tutus is an art piece, darling, an expression of self, an act of utter and pure joy.

And as I wander through the streets of North Shields, enjoying the sunshine and the infectious joy of Tutu Tuesday, I realise that what truly makes this day so special is the community. We are all here, united by a shared love for all things glittery and beautiful. We're here for each other, cheering on each other’s choices, sharing laughter, and embracing the magic of the day.

It’s like we've all taken a collective journey to Unicorn land, where the disco ball spins ceaselessly, the air sparkles with laughter, and where the only rule is to have fun!

So, here's to Tutu Tuesday in North Shields! Let’s continue this journey of self-expression, dazzling outfits, and infectious smiles. And may the next Tutu Tuesday be even more magical than this one!
