Hey lovelies! Emma here, and you know me – always dreaming up ways to fuse my love of ballet with fashion, especially when it comes to the beautiful, cosy hues of autumn. 🍂🍁 So, I thought, why not bring a little ballet chic to the streets of Kirkby? It's time to embrace those tutu vibes and get our fall fashion game on!
(If you're on Instagram, feel free to tag #tutufashion inspired to show off your looks!)
Firstly, let’s acknowledge the obvious. Kirkby has got this gorgeous countryside feel, right? We’re surrounded by green spaces and that magical golden light as the leaves change, so let’s bring those autumn vibes into our wardrobes. But we’re not just talking cosy sweaters and jeans! This year, we're gonna unleash our inner prima ballerina and make tutu fashion totally doable. It's all about layers, textures, and colour, darling. 😉
Tutu To The Streets, Kirkby!Before we delve into the fashion, a confession. I love pink! And as a dancer, I always feel empowered when wearing a gorgeous pink tutu. It’s that perfect mix of sweet and strong! Now, we're not talking full-on dance costumes (unless you're really feeling bold - you do you!) This is about incorporating that graceful elegance of tutus into everyday outfits.
Here are a few tricks of the trade, darlings:
1. The Tulle Skirt:
- First, we’ve gotta find our go-to tulle skirt. Look for soft, flowing materials with maybe a touch of sparkle! Check out high street shops like Primark, or online sites like ASOS for affordable tulle delights.
- For a casual look, pair your tulle skirt with a simple black or white tee. Tuck in a slogan top or a pretty floral shirt, and a knitted cardigan on top for extra cosy vibes. Add chunky boots or cute trainers and you’re good to go!
- Looking for a bit more drama? Opt for a flowing silk blouse, a pair of knee-high boots and a belt cinched at your waist for a classy, feminine look.
2. The Ballet-Inspired Sweater:
- You can absolutely rock a ballerina-themed sweater in Kirkby. And trust me, they’re super comfortable!
- Look for sweaters with delicate lace detailing or those that have an intricate design mimicking the pleats of a tutu. You could even pair this with a tulle skirt!
- Combine your ballerina sweater with some black skinny jeans, chunky boots, and a scarf for that cosy fall vibe. If it’s a breezy day, add a leather jacket or a bomber jacket on top.
3. The Accessories Are Where You Add the Magic:
- Want to add some extra pizazz? Start with some pretty jewellery! Go for silver or gold necklaces with subtle ballerina details - you know, like a delicate dancer charm or a graceful ballet shoe pendant. And remember those little ballerinas with those adorable buns and ribbon? Totally rocking some sparkly hair bows! Get inspired, and go for it!
- Think ballerina-inspired brooches, ballet slipper hair clips or even a tiny ballerina keyring!
- Top Tip: Opt for black and white to bring that touch of elegance to your everyday outfits!
Now, I know what you’re thinking: "But what about if it’s chilly?". No problem, babe! Let’s just be smart with layering, yes? A thin, sleek turtleneck beneath your favourite sweater keeps you snug.
Don’t be scared to try out different shades. Dark greens, ruby reds, burnt oranges and that gorgeous plum purple scream autumn! Combine your colour-block sweaters and jeans with those tulle skirts and voila! You’ve got your own chic Kirkby style.
Make a Statement, Kirkby Style!I always believe that fashion is a form of self-expression, darling. You do you! So embrace the ballet chic vibes, and create your own signature looks for this gorgeous autumn season. I’ve given you some starting points, now let’s go show those streets of Kirkby that you know how to make some magic! 💕✨
