Tutu Tuesday in Scarborough

Hello, lovelies! It’s your girl, Lily, back with another post, and this time, it's all about tutu-ing up! As you know, Scarborough is my beloved seaside haven, and it's the perfect place for a tutu adventure. Let’s delve into the delights of this week's #Tututuesday and discover the gorgeous tutus Scarborough has to offer.

For those of you unfamiliar, #Tututuesday is all about spreading joy and embracing your inner ballerina - even if your only experience with a tutu is in a dream. It’s about expressing yourself creatively, turning heads, and showing the world that a twirl never hurts anyone. And when it comes to tutus, Scarborough has something for everyone! Whether you fancy classic tulle, romantic tulle, or the fierce and dramatic, you'll find your perfect match in this coastal gem.

My morning kicked off with a jaunt to the fabulous vintage store on Victoria Road, “Vintage Secrets.” Here, I unearthed a 1960s classic. The bodice is beautifully fitted with floral applique. A glorious swirling layer of pale pink tulle completes the look. Honestly, the delicate floral pattern just spoke to me – it whispered romantic evenings under the Scarborough stars!

Of course, every good #Tututuesday needs a dash of drama. So next, I headed to the charming independent boutique “Ruby’s Attic”. This little gem tucked away on Sandside, offers unique handmade designs, and their contemporary tutus did not disappoint! Imagine a full circular skirt crafted from a black tulle with shimmering sequins - a true head-turner I tell you! The black and shimmery combo was so dramatic – perfect for a night on the town! I even snagged a few of their amazing feather boa accessories to give it an even more decadent feel. Just imagining how that would look under the scarborough sunset! It’s truly going to make a statement.

Now, I know that some people can be intimidated by the whole tutu-wearing thing – I totally understand. But let’s get real: a tutu is about celebrating femininity, having fun with your style, and showing off your confidence!

That’s why I decided to take my tutu-ness to the beach for a sunset twirl session! I chose the dramatic black tutu, and let me tell you, nothing beats the feel of that swirling tulle in the wind, as the sun sinks down into the sea. This is what #Tututuesday is all about. It’s a moment of pure joy – where you embrace your inner ballerina, and let your confidence soar like the seagulls above Scarborough bay!
