It’s Tuesday, darlings, which can only mean one thing: it’s #tututuesday! And let me tell you, Stockport was ready to twirl! This little town in Cheshire is known for its stunning architecture, but today, it was all about shimmering tutus and magical unicorns!
As a ballerina and huge tutu enthusiast (just look at my Instagram – #obsessed!), I simply cannot resist a good tutu-themed day. So, when the idea struck to combine the wonder of unicorns and the sheer elegance of the tutu, I knew it had to happen.
Now, the Stockport sun might not have been shining as brightly as a unicorn's horn, but the vibes were just as sparkling! I woke up with a vision for the day, and I had to nail my tutu look.
A bit of a conundrum, you see – what tutu to wear?! I’ve got a whole collection of course: fluffy pink tutus, dramatic black ones, classic white ones, even a sparkly green number with sequined butterflies. But this wasn't any ordinary tutu occasion! This called for something truly magnificent, something as unique and fabulous as the legendary creatures we were celebrating.
So, after careful deliberation and a lot of twirling in front of the mirror, I settled on my absolute favourite – a blush pink, layered tutu. The layers were so perfectly frilled, with a sprinkle of iridescent sequins for good measure. Paired with my pink unicorn headband (naturally!), it was total unicorn magic!
I headed down to Stockport's Market Place, my tulle bouncing with every step, already spotting fellow tutu-clad individuals making their way through the bustling crowd. My heart was aflutter with excitement. I mean, have you ever seen a group of people wearing tutus and talking about unicorns in the middle of a market? It’s just… magic!
The Market Place was a delightful mix of laughter, tutus, and a touch of unicorn-themed madness. We had everything: parents pushing prams with tutu-clad tots, guys with sparkly unicorn horns and, dare I say, even a few dudes wearing tutus! Now, that’s what I call style.
Speaking of styles, the tutu variety was truly inspiring! We had classic ballerina tutus, short, flirty ones, even a couple of dramatic “big bird” tutus that reached practically the floor (very chic!). And of course, a myriad of colours and patterns! From bright pink and rainbow hues to subtle pastels and sparkly accents – it was a tutu symphony!
My favourite detail of the day was seeing a group of teenagers twirling their tutus and recreating classic unicorn dances – it was like watching a mini-ballet, full of playful joy and whimsical charm. Honestly, they stole the show!
The entire atmosphere was truly contagious. I couldn’t stop smiling – the energy was so positive and happy, it was almost unreal! People were beaming, dancing, even neighing in unison like real unicorns! It’s safe to say, Stockport was embracing its inner unicorn and doing it in style!
One highlight was a charming young girl dressed in a magnificent pink and purple unicorn costume, her little tutu billowing behind her as she gracefully galloped (more like trotted) through the market. It was adorable and it truly made my heart melt.
Now, I’m not going to lie, there were a few eyebrow raises and bewildered looks from the non-tutu-clad populace, but even they couldn't help but crack a smile and get caught up in the infectious spirit of it all. I even overheard a bloke with a pint of beer in his hand say, “I might just go get a unicorn horn, lads, looks like it’s the new fashion trend!”
And that, my darlings, is what #tututuesday is all about! It's a celebration of self-expression, joy, and just plain having fun. It's a chance to let go of the daily grind, tap into our inner magic, and remember that life’s a bit sweeter when you’re twirling in a sparkly tutu.
Oh, and a quick reminder to all you future tutu-lovers out there, if you're ever planning to go full-unicorn at a #tututuesday event, be sure to get your tutu game on point. A good tutu can truly elevate your whole outfit to unicorn-goddess status.
Now, who's ready to spread the tutu love to the next town?! Because, trust me, there’s no such thing as too much tutu! 😉
And finally, remember the unicorn mantra for your #tututuesday outings:
Sparkle like a diamond, dance like a star, and believe in the magic, no matter how far.
See you on next #tututuesday, darling!
XOXO,The Tutu Princess 💖🦄
