Hello, darlings! It's your girl, Tilly, and let me tell you, my tutu game is strong today. Today's #tututuesday was a true summer spectacle, with the sun shining down on Scarborough's vibrant beachfront like a disco ball. And as any seasoned tutu connoisseur knows, a little bit of sparkle always adds extra flair.
I knew it wouldn't be just another Tuesday when I woke up feeling like a total fairy princess. There was something magical in the air. Was it the fresh scent of salty air mixed with ice cream, the rhythm of the seagulls' cries that sounded just like a funky beat, or was it my new tulle creation? You tell me, dear readers.
Now, before we delve into the glorious details of my chosen tutu, let's take a moment to acknowledge the true star of the show. No, it wasn't me, though my dance moves were on point thanks to my lucky sequined ballet shoes. The true star? You guessed it! Unicorns. Yes, my lovelies, this Tutu Tuesday was about embracing our inner magical creatures!
I must say, there was a definite unicorn-themed trend in Scarborough today. From pink ice cream with sprinkles to unicorn-shaped inflatable rings in the ocean, it was like stepping into a whimsical wonderland. This was not just a regular tutu Tuesday, this was Unicorn Tutu Tuesday, an explosion of glittery dreams!
So what did I choose for my own magical moment? Let's just say I went for something bold, something that screamed "unicorn goddess." I opted for a dramatic, multi-layered tulle skirt that pooled gracefully around my ankles. Picture this: layers and layers of fluffy, pearlescent pink tulle, layered with sheer pastel lavender and shimmering silver that captured the sun's rays, making it appear I was surrounded by an ethereal glow. Imagine a shimmering, pastel cloud transformed into a magnificent tutu - that's the look I was going for!
You'd be surprised what you can achieve with a little imagination, a lot of pink fabric, and a sewing machine. Of course, I can't forget to mention the magic touch: my very own handmade unicorn horn headband. This wasn't just any headband; it was covered in delicate silver glitter, a nod to my shimmering tutu, and embellished with iridescent white pearls. I'm telling you, every little detail adds to the overall effect.
Honestly, my heart felt like it was beating to the rhythm of a disco ball in the heart of a rainbow. And if the unicorn vibes weren't enough, I even sprinkled in some extra sparkle with a sequined bodice and ballet shoes adorned with shimmering silver embroidery. Who said ballet couldn't be as glamorous as a disco party?
Oh, and let's talk accessories. My trusty tote bag, which, to my surprise, was adorned with unicorns! Seriously, these delightful creatures are everywhere. This tote wasn't just any bag, it was an embodiment of this whole enchanted theme. I was prepared for the day with a good book (in case the magic got overwhelming) and, of course, a very necessary unicorn-themed reusable water bottle for hydration! You never know when the dancing calls for an extra sip.
Speaking of dancing, the day's fun was far from over! After taking in the beachfront scene, a group of us gathered for a tutu-themed ballet workshop by the beach. And guess what? We all donned our very best tutus and took the sand as our stage. It was a glorious and frankly hilarious scene, with laughter and twirls filling the air. Think "Strictly Come Dancing," but with a hint of the enchanted forest, a generous helping of glitter, and plenty of twirling!
As the sun set and the sea turned to gold, I was left feeling enchanted, invigorated, and definitely a little bit sore from all the twirling. But it was all worth it, especially as we ended the day with a glorious seaside singalong, where we all danced under a blanket of stars, with a little bit of disco magic in the air.
I'm so grateful for every twirl, every glitter bomb, and every whimsical memory made. Scarborough really delivered today. Let's face it, everyone needs a little bit of magic in their life, especially when it comes wrapped in a tulle tutu.
So here's to Tutu Tuesday, to the unicorn spirit within, and to the extraordinary power of a perfectly-placed twirl! Remember to stay fabulous, my lovelies!
