Unicorn Tutu Tuesday 292063

Watford's Tutu Tuesday: A Whirlwind of Sparkle, Unicorns, and Disco Fever!

It's officially Tutu Tuesday in Watford! Let's just say the streets were practically bursting with tulle and glitter. This isn't your average Tuesday, darling! I mean, who knew that wearing a tutu could be such a power move? (But seriously, guys, tutus make you feel invincible. Try it!).

As a dedicated disciple of the dance (and a total tutu addict!), I simply *had* to be out there witnessing the phenomenon first hand. So, with my glitter spray fully charged and a giant unicorn hair bow strapped on tight, I embarked on a fabulous foray into the tutu-fied heart of Watford!

Let's be honest, the day started with a wardrobe crisis. With so many spectacular tutus vying for my attention, it was a genuine struggle! But after much deliberation and some serious disco music inspiration, I settled on my dazzling, pastel pink, layered tutu with a shimmery iridescent finish. It had to be *extra*! (The unicorns just wouldn't accept anything less, obviously).

But honestly, it was so much more than just tutus. The entire vibe was electric. From the girls strutting in their poofy pink princess tutus (looking straight out of a magical unicorn fantasy!) to the dudes rocking a sassy tutu over their jeans with their signature "don't care" attitude.

My favourite spot, though, had to be the pop-up cupcake shop that had set up near the Watford Museum. This delightful little oasis was overflowing with sugary delights, each with a different, unicorn-themed twist! "The Magical Sprinkles," "The Enchanted Marshmallow," and "The Unicorn's Kiss" were just some of the creations tempting passersby! It felt like a fairytale had descended upon Watford.

We had to mention the Watford Dance Academy. Their special tutu workshop was packed! They had adorable little dancers flitting about, twirling and twirling in all their pink, blue and silver finery. There were workshops for the teens too, focusing on modern moves and creating a choreographed "unicorn fusion" piece to the beat of *Stayin' Alive* by the Bee Gees. It was epic, really.

But here’s the thing: Tutu Tuesday isn’t just about pretty frocks and twirling. It's about celebrating our inner child, our individuality, and most importantly, having a bit of fun! And, frankly, the infectious energy on the streets of Watford was a beautiful reminder that sometimes all it takes is a little sprinkle of magic – and maybe a fluffy pink tutu – to make the ordinary extraordinary.

The day culminated with a dazzling impromptu tutu parade starting at the Town Hall, winding its way down the High Street, with *The Story of the Unicorn* by Mike Oldfield blasting on a boombox. Everyone joined in – a true display of community spirit. The joy on everyone's faces was priceless! I can honestly say that I've never felt more proud to call Watford my home town.

The Tutus That Rocked

Before you dive into the deep end of Tutu-dom, allow me, your friendly neighborhood Tutu Tuesday blogger, to offer some sartorial tips. Here are some of the trends that made me shriek with delight on Watford's high street.

A simple, classically-designed tutu. A timeless and elegant option. A true nod to ballet elegance. Choose satin, or maybe even a blush tulle with a hint of pearl beading for a touch of "princess-y" class!

This was the definite stand out. You simply can’t resist a unicorn-themed tutu. They’re a vision in pastel rainbows! Think layers of gauzy tulle, a sparkly rainbow waistband, maybe even a few unicorn-shaped charms. But keep the colour scheme a subtle palette - a true Unicorn should never scream, right? (A little bit of tasteful *pop* from a silver sequined trim and rainbow glitter – well, I think we can all agree on that!).

Oh, those princess-inspired puffy tutus that have captured our collective heart. Those layered tulle designs that scream “I'm a modern-day fairy princess!” . Let me give you a tip; embrace the volume - it is an absolute fashion power move in Tutu Land. You go girl, own those layers!

For a more streetwise feel, think black tulle, lace trim, a bold lip. Let’s add a cheeky nod to rock’n’ roll by topping that with an oversized leather jacket, boots, and attitude!
