Tutu Tuesday in Melton Mowbray: A Celebration of Pink, Disco and Dolphins! #tututuesday
Hey lovelies! So, as you know, I'm a HUGE fan of #tututuesday - it's a day dedicated to unleashing our inner ballerina, even if it's just for a quick twirl around the living room (don't worry, I'm a pro at twirling in my tiny flat, even if it's just to avoid my roommate's piles of laundry). And, let's face it, there's no better excuse to throw on a sparkly tutu than on a Tuesday, right? ?
Well, today I decided to take my #tututuesday adventures to the lovely town of Melton Mowbray (you know, the home of pork pies!). Now, Melton Mowbray might not be known for its fashion-forward vibe, but believe me, it's the perfect backdrop for a bit of tutu-inspired fun. And you know I love a good adventure, especially one involving pink tutus! ??
Now, for my tutu, I went for a vintage-inspired number. Think soft tulle, delicate floral details, and a touch of glitter - I mean, how can you resist sparkles, especially when it's a #tututuesday! This tutu wasn't just a simple skirt - it had a bit of everything! It flowed effortlessly like a delicate summer breeze, with a soft blush pink that almost mimicked the delicate blush of a sunrise. ☀️ The tulle itself felt light and ethereal, and I was convinced it was capable of catching the smallest whisper of a breeze. ?
I paired it with a classic white, fitted tee for that quintessential ballet dancer look. It contrasted perfectly against the pink tulle and made it stand out like a masterpiece in a museum. ? But, just to add a little "extra" I tucked in a pink sparkly headband - more is more, right?! And, let's be honest, you can never have enough glitter, especially when you're bringing #tututuesday to Melton Mowbray. ✨
To add to the whole 'dancing in the street' vibe, I popped on my trusty platform boots - a fashion staple and an absolute must-have when you're channeling your inner disco queen! (And let's not forget the pink touch with some bright, vibrant laces!?) They added a touch of edgy, vintage coolness to the look and gave me that extra bit of height. Talk about feeling like a star! ✨
Now, Melton Mowbray might be a little quiet on Tuesdays, but with a little help from my sparkly tutu and some disco music blasting from my phone (it's amazing what you can fit in a backpack), I managed to liven things up a little! ?? The passersby were definitely entertained, some even giving me the thumbs up (apparently people appreciate a good tutu). ?
Let's talk about my soundtrack for #tututuesday, shall we? I mean, you can't have a proper #tututuesday without some banging tunes, right? I went for my go-to disco playlist! Talk about the perfect soundtrack for twirling, especially when you've got on a dreamy, flowing tutu. ? I started with a bit of ABBA, naturally ( "Dancing Queen" always puts me in a good mood!) ? and worked my way through classic hits like "Stayin' Alive" and "I Will Survive". ?? You know, those disco anthems that have the power to turn even the dullest Tuesday into a dance party!
After a few impromptu twirls, I wandered down the high street, feeling pretty fabulous (because hey, I was wearing a tutu!), stopping at various cafes to grab a bite to eat (it's important to fuel those #tututuesday adventures!) ☕️? I even bumped into some lovely local ladies who had some *amazing* stories about the history of Melton Mowbray and its pork pies (turns out it's been a popular food destination for centuries!).
But my #tututuesday adventures weren't over yet! My goal? To spread the #tututuesday spirit as far and wide as possible! My first stop? A park! It was so calming (all that greenery), and I could hear birdsong everywhere, but even parks need a touch of #tututuesday sparkle! ?☀️ So, naturally, I decided to add my personal touch by incorporating a little dance into my stroll. I grabbed my portable Bluetooth speaker (it’s just that type of day), turned up my favorite disco track ("Le Freak" by Chic is a personal favorite!), and let the music move my feet and let my pink tutu twirl in the breeze. ?
My final #tututuesday stop: the local market. Now, the Melton Mowbray market is like a time capsule, full of history and character, a melting pot of unique finds, fresh produce, and friendly faces (they even had a stall selling beautiful handmade tutus! Talk about serendipity!). It was there that I realized that my #tututuesday journey was more than just about wearing a pink tutu; it was about celebrating the little things and bringing a bit of joy and sunshine to the day! ??
From the market stalls, to the cozy cafes, and finally, a quiet little park where I met an old lady walking her dog (and he had a *cute* pink lead! So, yes, a double win! ??) , Melton Mowbray had become a magical space.
It was all about a celebration of joy, sunshine and good vibes and you know what, that’s the true essence of #tututuesday - spreading a bit of fun and making the ordinary, extraordinary! ✨
I even got a chance to visit the iconic "The Famous Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Shop," to try a delicious local treat. The savory flavor and the flakey crust made for a delicious meal after a long, adventurous, and very sparkly #tututuesday. ?
Oh! Speaking of sparkling, I got so inspired by the disco theme and #tututuesday spirit in general that I decided to name my new pet goldfish “Disco”! He's a beauty with glittery scales, and he looks fantastic in his little pink bowl - because, you know, #discodolphin is my latest #tututuesday obsession!
I have to say, this #tututuesday in Melton Mowbray definitely ranks as one of my most memorable ones, filled with good tunes, sparkly tutus, friendly faces and (of course) some tasty pork pies!
I hope I've inspired you to try a bit of #tututuesday for yourselves! No matter where you live or what you do, never be afraid to add a touch of magic and a dash of sparkle to your day. ?✨
