Okay, darlings, gather round! Today's the day. It's Tutu Tuesday in York and let me tell you, I'm ready to unleash my inner ballerina (and by that, I mean inner pink, sequin-loving, unicorn riding dream girl). If you know me, you know I love my tutus. From the classic pancake tutu (the perfect swirl of fabric that makes you feel like a delicate, ethereal flower) to the fluffy, layered tutu (imagine a cloud, but with more glitter and more bounce) - I have a tutu for every mood.
But today? Today is special. Today, my fellow twirlers, is all about unicorns and sparkles! My Tutu of Dreams
Let's get the outfit reveal going! My tutu today is a whimsical delight. Think delicate, ethereal, with a dash of disco and a sprinkle of magic! Itâs a light pink, the colour of cotton candy and fairytale castles, layered with sparkling tulle, shimmering like a million tiny rainbows in the sun.
I mean, the way this tutu catches the light - I literally sparkle in the sunlight. Who needs a disco ball when youâve got this glorious explosion of fabric, eh? (But honestly, disco balls are still great â especially when adorned with ribbons and twinkly lights). Unicorns, Sparkles, and all things Magical
Of course, the pièce de rĂŠsistance? A unicorn horn, glittering with pink gemstones, sitting gracefully atop my head. Donât even ask how I convinced a real unicorn to donate a horn - It was a delicate conversation involving glitter and a bucket of rainbow sherbet. The unicorn, naturally, was instantly enchanted.
Don't think for a moment this outfit was just thrown together, this was a carefully curated statement. It's a vision of dreamy pink, fairytale enchantment, and, well, a whole lotta tulle! It's a symbol of the magic we all carry inside, the magic that says âIâm gonna dance through life, even if I have to break out a few twirls along the way!â
Okay, okay! Back to York!
Let's just say I turned heads. Everyone stopped what they were doing! This townâs a haven for lovers of beautiful things, and York welcomed my Tutu Tuesday with open arms and surprised looks. Kids shrieked in delight, their parents pointed with a mix of amusement and bewilderment. Old ladies smiled knowingly, and young ladies giggled with excitement. My kind of people, my beautiful, sparkly friends!
And, oh my goodness, the photo opportunities! Picture this: me, in my pink, magical, sparkling glory, posing in front of York Minster. Whatâs that you say? It was a clash of architectural styles? Exactly! Thatâs what I love. Embrace the clash! Embrace the unexpected. Itâs the only way to stay exciting. I had fun striking poses, twirling on the cobblestones, and of course, channeling my inner unicorn - magical unicorn energy was high in the air today, York was alive!
As I finished up my day in York, it felt like a fairy tale. Not just because of my unicorn horn or sparkly tutu, but because I found myself in a community that loves to embrace the extraordinary, to let loose, and to sparkle a little bit every day! The Power of Tutu Tuesdays
Letâs be honest, you need to embrace a little bit of crazy in life! Why? Because itâs fun. Because it brings a smile to your face (and to the faces of the people around you!). And because, you never know, it might inspire someone else to break out their tutu, their sparkle, and their own inner unicorn! #tututuesday Top 5 York Spots for Tutu Tuesday:
