Bilston Blooms with Tutu Tuesday
Hello darlings! It’s your girl, Maisie, back with another fashion extravaganza. This time, we're heading to the heart of the Black Country for a very special occasion – Tutu Tuesday in Bilston! Now, let’s get one thing straight: Bilston is more than just a town. It's a hub of creativity, a melting pot of personalities, and most importantly, it's bursting with that glorious Black Country spirit. So naturally, I was buzzing to join in on this celebration of all things fabulous – tutus! From the moment I stepped onto the bustling high street, I knew I was in the right place. Bilston was transformed with a kaleidoscope of colours, music, and smiles, It felt like the entire town had embraced the #TutuTuesday vibe. It was magical. The air thrummed with disco music as I saw a wave of dazzling tutus – a spectacle for the senses. I spotted an elegant, classic tulle tutu that would make any ballerina swoon, but then next to it was an edgy, punk-rock number made of ripped tulle and chains! The creativity was boundless. It’s about celebrating self-expression. It’s a chance to put on your most glamorous outfit and be fearless – a message we can all get behind. It wasn't just the adults getting into the tutu spirit either. Little ones, dressed in colourful tulle frocks, twirled their way down the high street. Honestly, it warmed my heart! Every face I passed radiated joy. The highlight of the day was the 'Tutu-Strut’ fashion show, where a group of Bilston locals took to the stage in the most fabulous tutus you could imagine.
Here are some of my faves: * A vibrant, turquoise, multi-layered tulle number paired with a statement blazer, a truly show-stopping ensemble. * A gorgeous, vintage-style tutu with floral lace details paired with a cute black T-shirt and some killer high-top trainers, which really cemented that classic meets street style look. * A black tutu that screamed modern and sophisticated, with its playful slit design. Seeing such diverse and incredible tutus really captured the heart of this celebration – a true testament to the beautiful individuality of Bilston. I couldn’t leave Bilston without picking up something for my own wardrobe – I snagged an adorable pastel pink, babydoll tutu. You can’t go wrong with a bit of pink, right?
