Unicorn Tutu Tuesday 292187

## Tutu Tuesday in Laindon: A Magical Trip Down Memory Lane #tututuesday Right, darlings, it’s Tutu Tuesday, and I'm living for it! Laindon, you may be asking, "where on earth is that?". It's this cute little town in Essex, right, and trust me, it's much more exciting than you think! I actually spent a good chunk of my childhood there, which probably explains my unwavering love of pink and all things sparkly! Today’s ensemble was inspired by a unicorn that escaped from a bouncy castle at a primary school fête, *how very Laindon*. I paired a fluffy, vintage pink tulle tutu with my go-to iridescent sequins, and some glitter eye shadow that makes my eyes look like a shimmering pool of joy (I'm all about those sparkly accents!). It's not exactly your traditional ballet attire, but honestly, when was the last time you saw a traditional ballet outfit in Laindon anyway? Right! Now, I know what you’re thinking. Tutu Tuesday? Where did *that* come from? Honestly, the credit for this totally fabulous, glitter-bombed idea goes to none other than my amazing mum. Growing up, she'd make sure we all had our Tuesday-tutu time. Every week, it was all about twirling around the living room in tutus of all styles. She’d even pull out her dusty old costume from back in her *sparkling* days! Back then, we used to blast out disco tunes like they were going out of fashion! And for real, it still makes me feel fabulous every time. My childhood was a constant party with tutus, glitter, and disco lights – and for me, those are memories worth holding on to, even in dreary old Laindon. But back to my Tutu Tuesday outfit, you guys, it’s totally fabulous. Here’s a breakdown of this magical masterpiece: **Outfit deets:** * **The tutu:** You’ve got to go big, and this one definitely fits the bill. Think a 60s, ballerina-style tutu, complete with layers and layers of tulle – a princess's dream, darling! My mum always says, “A little sparkle goes a long way”, but with this tutu, I'm like, "Go all the way, babe, all the way!" * **Glitter, glitter, glitter!** More is always more, isn’t that right, girlies? There’s no shortage of glitter, because every girl needs a little magic in her life! It's almost like a magic spell, this glitter. I don't think I ever met a person who looked *worse* for having more glitter in their life. * **Unicorn Sparkle!** I am, after all, talking about unicorn-themed fashion here, and you know, darling, if you want sparkle, go for something holographic! It reflects the light in all kinds of gorgeous ways, just like a rainbow. Perfect for any mythical-creature-loving ballet girl! * **Top it off:** For a dramatic touch, I added a white satin ballet bodice with a deep-v neckline, and of course, it had sparkly, glittery trims to keep with the *glamorous* theme. The overall look is whimsical, joyful, and maybe a little bit mad. A little like me! Honestly, you can totally channel your inner unicorn with the right outfit – and with that attitude, even the most uninspired places like Laindon, can seem just a little bit more magical! **Now, onto some top tips for Tutu Tuesday success!** * ** Embrace your inner child!** What you put on is not as important as how confident you feel, right?! This is the day to unleash that playful, happy spirit. You might even discover new, magical powers! Like, suddenly turning into a unicorn... it's definitely a possibility! * **Twirl, girl!** Tutues and twirling go together like peanut butter and jelly. So, embrace your twirl game. Spin, dip, and do all those *pretty* pirouettes that make you feel magical. It's therapy, darlings. And I promise you, the world's a much better place with more twirling in it. * **Choose a style that makes you feel fabulous!** Remember, the key is to be happy and carefree in your tutu. Go with whatever style speaks to you - classic, funky, glittery, or even a little wild and messy! You've got a fabulousness all your own to show off. * **Don’t be shy, go out and rock that tutu!** There's really no better way to brighten your day than by wearing a tutu, even if you are in a less-than-exciting town like Laindon. But darling, remember, it's the attitude that truly matters. If you can sparkle and smile, anything is possible. So, go on and spread some *tutu magic* all over the world! Now I need to dash off. I hear my mum is planning a disco-tutu flashmob outside the Laindon Tesco and I wouldn't miss that for all the sparkly things in the world. #tututuesday #unicorntutu
