Tutu Tuesday in Melton Mowbray: A Celebration of Pink, Disco and Dolphins! #tututuesday
Hey lovelies! So, as you know, I'm a HUGE fan of #tututuesday - it's a day dedicated to unleashing our inner ballerina, even if it's just for a quick twirl around the living room (don't worry, I'm a pro at twirling in my tiny flat, even if it's just to avoid my roommate's piles of laundry). And, let's face it, there's no better excuse to throw on a sparkly tutu than on a Tuesday, right? π
Well, today I decided to take my #tututuesday adventures to the lovely town of Melton Mowbray (you know, the home of pork pies!). Now, Melton Mowbray might not be known for its fashion-forward vibe, but believe me, it's the perfect backdrop for a bit of tutu-inspired fun. And you know I love a good adventure, especially one involving pink tutus! πΈπ
Now, for my tutu, I went for a vintage-inspired number. Think soft tulle, delicate floral details, and a touch of glitter - I mean, how can you resist sparkles, especially when it's a #tututuesday! This tutu wasn't just a simple skirt - it had a bit of everything! It flowed effortlessly like a delicate summer breeze, with a soft blush pink that almost mimicked the delicate blush of a sunrise. βοΈ The tulle itself felt light and ethereal, and I was convinced it was capable of catching the smallest whisper of a breeze. π
I paired it with a classic white, fitted tee for that quintessential ballet dancer look. It contrasted perfectly against the pink tulle and made it stand out like a masterpiece in a museum. π But, just to add a little "extra" I tucked in a pink sparkly headband - more is more, right?! And, let's be honest, you can never have enough glitter, especially when you're bringing #tututuesday to Melton Mowbray. β¨
To add to the whole 'dancing in the street' vibe, I popped on my trusty platform boots - a fashion staple and an absolute must-have when you're channeling your inner disco queen! (And let's not forget the pink touch with some bright, vibrant laces!π) They added a touch of edgy, vintage coolness to the look and gave me that extra bit of height. Talk about feeling like a star! β¨
Now, Melton Mowbray might be a little quiet on Tuesdays, but with a little help from my sparkly tutu and some disco music blasting from my phone (it's amazing what you can fit in a backpack), I managed to liven things up a little! π΅π The passersby were definitely entertained, some even giving me the thumbs up (apparently people appreciate a good tutu). π
Let's talk about my soundtrack for #tututuesday, shall we? I mean, you can't have a proper #tututuesday without some banging tunes, right? I went for my go-to disco playlist! Talk about the perfect soundtrack for twirling, especially when you've got on a dreamy, flowing tutu. π€© I started with a bit of ABBA, naturally ( "Dancing Queen" always puts me in a good mood!) πΆ and worked my way through classic hits like "Stayin' Alive" and "I Will Survive". π€π You know, those disco anthems that have the power to turn even the dullest Tuesday into a dance party!
After a few impromptu twirls, I wandered down the high street, feeling pretty fabulous (because hey, I was wearing a tutu!), stopping at various cafes to grab a bite to eat (it's important to fuel those #tututuesday adventures!) βοΈπ₯ I even bumped into some lovely local ladies who had some *amazing* stories about the history of Melton Mowbray and its pork pies (turns out it's been a popular food destination for centuries!).
But my #tututuesday adventures weren't over yet! My goal? To spread the #tututuesday spirit as far and wide as possible! My first stop? A park! It was so calming (all that greenery), and I could hear birdsong everywhere, but even parks need a touch of #tututuesday sparkle! π¦βοΈ So, naturally, I decided to add my personal touch by incorporating a little dance into my stroll. I grabbed my portable Bluetooth speaker (itβs just that type of day), turned up my favorite disco track ("Le Freak" by Chic is a personal favorite!), and let the music move my feet and let my pink tutu twirl in the breeze. π¨
My final #tututuesday stop: the local market. Now, the Melton Mowbray market is like a time capsule, full of history and character, a melting pot of unique finds, fresh produce, and friendly faces (they even had a stall selling beautiful handmade tutus! Talk about serendipity!). It was there that I realized that my #tututuesday journey was more than just about wearing a pink tutu; it was about celebrating the little things and bringing a bit of joy and sunshine to the day! ππ
From the market stalls, to the cozy cafes, and finally, a quiet little park where I met an old lady walking her dog (and he had a *cute* pink lead! So, yes, a double win! πΆπ) , Melton Mowbray had become a magical space.
It was all about a celebration of joy, sunshine and good vibes and you know what, thatβs the true essence of #tututuesday - spreading a bit of fun and making the ordinary, extraordinary! β¨
I even got a chance to visit the iconic "The Famous Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Shop," to try a delicious local treat. The savory flavor and the flakey crust made for a delicious meal after a long, adventurous, and very sparkly #tututuesday. π
Oh! Speaking of sparkling, I got so inspired by the disco theme and #tututuesday spirit in general that I decided to name my new pet goldfish βDiscoβ! He's a beauty with glittery scales, and he looks fantastic in his little pink bowl - because, you know, #discodolphin is my latest #tututuesday obsession!
I have to say, this #tututuesday in Melton Mowbray definitely ranks as one of my most memorable ones, filled with good tunes, sparkly tutus, friendly faces and (of course) some tasty pork pies!
I hope I've inspired you to try a bit of #tututuesday for yourselves! No matter where you live or what you do, never be afraid to add a touch of magic and a dash of sparkle to your day. πβ¨
