Hello lovelies! It's Emma here, your friendly neighbourhood ballet-obsessed blogger, and guess what? Autumn is officially here, which means it's time to embrace all things cosy, warm andā¦ dare I say it? Tutu-fied!
This year, I'm channeling all the dreamy hues of autumn foliage and the warmth of a crackling fireplace into my ballet fashion choices, and Cheshunt is the perfect place to start! Whether you're heading to the ballet, a chic dinner, or just wanting to add some whimsical flair to your everyday style, I've got the ultimate tutu-inspired guide for you!
A touch of vintage: Autumnal Ballet Romance in Cheshunt
Let's talk about Cheshunt's charm first! Itās bursting with vintage stores where you can find some real hidden gems for your ballet-inspired wardrobe. Think about adding a vintage cashmere scarf draped over your shoulders, paired with a classic black tulle skirt (you know the kind ā it twirls!). A vintage tweed jacket with an embellished broach is a perfect match to a delicate black tutu, giving you that classic yet chic look for an autumnal evening.
Tip: Head to the charming "Cheshunt Antique Centre" on the High Street - itās like stepping back in time, but in the best possible way!
The perfect autumnal tutu:
No matter your style, a tutu can be your ultimate autumnal statement. This year, itās all about embracing warm shades. Forget the pale pinks and the pristine white. Itās time to experiment with richer hues:
- Burnt orange and maroon: These warm, inviting colours will instantly add a dash of elegance and autumnal sophistication.
- Russet and caramel: Imagine a beautiful burnt caramel tulle with an elegant, oversized scarf in rust and beige. So glamorous and chic, right?
- Emerald Green: If you're after a touch of drama, try a deep emerald green tutu with golden-toned accessories. Imagine swirling, dancing in a leaf-strewn forestā¦magical!
Autumnās Ballet Ballerina Look
Don't be afraid to play around with texture and layering ā autumnās the time to make a statement! Hereās how:
- Ribbed Turtlenecks: They add instant warmth and structure under your favourite tulle skirt. Opt for a bold burgundy, rich green, or a simple camel to complement your tutu.
- Tweed Blazers: I'm obsessed with adding a classic touch to my ballet-inspired looks with a well-tailored tweed blazer. Go for muted tones ā grey, navy, or even a subtle green to elevate any ensemble.
- Thick tights: A no-brainer for the chillier days! Go for luxurious velvet, rich cable knit, or the classic fishnet with delicate detail.
- Knitted Cardigans: Layer a chunky cable-knit cardigan over a silky slip dress or a sleek ballet leotard and youāve got an autumnal masterpiece.
Adding some Cheshunt Sparkle:
Once your base is ready, let's sprinkle some Cheshunt magic. There are several jewellery shops along the High Street where you can find pieces that can transform your ballet looks into head-turning styles:
- Victorian-inspired brooches: They'll give a whimsical vintage feel to any cardigan, scarf, or tweed blazer.
- Pearls and silver: They are timeless and elegant and perfectly complement the rich autumnal hues weāve been playing with.
- * Statement Earrings:* Go bold with dramatic, intricate earrings with rich stones that contrast against your warm, autumnal ensemble.
From Tutu to the Tea Shop:
Cheshunt's filled with charming tea rooms that are perfect for enjoying a warming beverage and a delectable slice of cake after a tutu-tastic day of shopping and styling. A warm pot of Earl Grey and a classic Victoria sponge with whipped cream would make the ultimate ballet-inspired afternoon treat.
Tip: Pop into āThe Secret Gardenā tea room on the High Street for a unique atmosphere and scrumptious scones!
A Little Bit of Glamour:
It's not just about the clothes - itās the whole look and feel. Add a bit of glamour with these Cheshunt-inspired beauty touches:
- Deep, burgundy lips: A classic and stylish autumn look thatās always a good idea!
- Golden eyes: Channel the fall foliage with a hint of gold eyeshadow - perfect for making your eyes sparkle.
- Sleek ballerina bun: This simple and classic hairstyle always elevates any outfit.
