Unicorn Tutu Tuesday 292216

Prestwich, oh Prestwich! Let's talk Tutu Tuesday! The day of the week I get to live my absolute best life. And let's be honest, this is why we all get up on Tuesday mornings. It's like an early birthday present in my mind! Because Tuesday means all the pink and sparkles that I can handle, because, honestly, **more is always more when it comes to tutus** and let's be real, nothing is better than the *clack-clack* of a well-made tutu skirt on a shiny wood floor! I literally get the *shivers*. But who wouldn't? **What other piece of clothing allows you to live out all your wildest childhood dreams?** No, really, is there anything else that makes you feel like you're twirling around in your favourite princess story? I certainly haven't found anything that can compare yet, not even my *favourite pair of pink heels* or my new, sparkly unicorn-themed, diamante encrusted face mask - which by the way, I *highly* recommend if you ever want to feel *super chic* at a grocery shop. This week, the topic is all about unicorn tutus! **Let me tell you, this trend is *seriously* taking off**, with everyone from professional dancers to people who haven't seen a ballet since the school Christmas show getting in on the action! You see, **a unicorn tutu just *exudes* *joy*.** I don't know if it's the magical association, the pure beauty, or the rainbow shades. Let me tell you, *my* collection of unicorn tutus is quite spectacular! I even bought an incredible new tutu for this week, and let's just say that **there are sparkles and rainbows for miles** - no exaggeration, **even my *cat* wouldn't *stop* rubbing her face on the skirt** because I have to assume she was *also* mesmerized by the beauty and wonder of it all. My **little cat's love is certainly *an indicator of great quality* **, don't you think? I'll be taking this bad boy for a twirl in Prestwich, you know, doing some socially distanced walking around to catch a bit of sun while rocking some **serious** tutu. *Think* *super-tutus*, *sparkly rainbows*, *pastel pink,* *sequins,* and **maybe some rainbow butterfly wings thrown into the mix**! Yeah, I am taking it all *seriously*. It *may* be raining. *What*, I **love tutus**. The great thing is, a tutu doesn't need a stage to make you feel fabulous! It's like walking magic in your every step. You see, you really just have to get comfortable, maybe even pop a little music into your headphones. For me, it's nothing but 70s disco because I always felt like a princess at the **Prestwich Youth Theatre**. This was back in my early teen years where they did not *do* princesses in **professional theatre**, so a 70s disco routine with a tutu just screamed fabulous for me and let me live out my fairytale fantasies! You know I did it in the highest style imaginable too! Let's talk looks for this **Tutu Tuesday**, because honestly, let's just say it: we all want to know the secrets! Well, let's just say I *love* wearing unicorn tutus **with all things glitter**. You know the sparkly shoes, maybe some unicorn makeup - *oh, yeah, totally*. But for those days that maybe a unicorn themed look just doesn't appeal to you, and trust me, even *I* get the unicorn burn out sometimes, we can have **different unicorn styles, colours and tones**: you just need to find your style, your magic! There is a *unicorn tutu style* out there for absolutely *every single person* **(and yes, even that is a guarantee! I said what I said!)**, no matter your preferred shade of pink. We can embrace the softer tones - *think* *pastel, dusty pinks*, or embrace a bit of rainbow fun with some glitter and sunshine colours. There's a reason why this trend is taking over the world, and no, it's not because a unicorn unicorn came down from heaven and blessed them all - although, you can never rule that out, especially on a day dedicated to all things glitter and sparkly, you never know, right? **No, the reason why everyone wants a unicorn tutu in their life is because they're fun, fashionable, and frankly, they look gorgeous!** **Go find that tutu, people. Don't waste anymore time, this is what life is all about!** But also remember there are just so many tutu styles out there to experiment with and get your *unicorn look* going! * **Classic:** A perfect **ballerina silhouette**, with **multiple layers of tulle**. Perfect for the days when you want **all the grace** of your inner *swan*. * **Poofy:** For when you want **volume and drama**. It can even be **rainbow coloured, pink, blue, you name it**! * **Short & sweet:** Ideal if you prefer something **casual** and easy-to-wear. They come in *all shapes and colours*. These *baby* tutus can easily make *any look* *fabulously magical* and **there are never too many short tutus**. You can never go wrong with a cute, playful, *sparkly* tutu that *brings the sparkle*, that *catches the light*, that *does the dance moves*, because we know the dance moves will start right? * **Multicolored:** Want **a unicorn theme with a *bang*? **Go wild with the colours**, or use *different shades of pink* and **add those unicorn accessories**. As you can see, this is where Tutu Tuesday really begins.
