Tutu and Ballet News

Well darlings, it's that time of the month again - time for my monthly dose of all things tutu! February, darling, February. We’ve all been there - chilly air, dreary days, and the ever-present question: what's a girl to wear? But fear not, my fabulous friends, because this February is a cause for celebration! We have the ultimate style inspiration to banish those winter blues!

Yes, my dears, it’s none other than the undisputed queen of all things frothy and fabulous, the ever-so-dreamy TUTU! I know, I know, you’re thinking, ā€œBut darling, don't tell me you’re telling me to wear a tutu to the supermarket!.ā€ Now, darling, settle down! Of course, I am not encouraging a full-blown ballerina look for every day. But, here’s where the real fun begins.

Today's inspiration? Why, **February 3rd 2002** of course! On that momentous day, ballet went from prim and proper to full-on FABULOUS. Don’t you just LOVE that year 2002? Remember Britney? It was truly a time when pop stars went full-on tutu (think, ahem, the **ā€œOops I Did it Again" video**) and boy did we go along with it, we REALLY did! Remember the hot pink tutu on *Strictly Come Dancing* circa 2003? **Divine**.

So darling, I have to confess, there’s a tiny bit of the Britney Spears inside all of us, just itching to come out. So here’s my call to action - why not let your inner tutu queen run wild!?

This February, embrace the TUTU.

No, darling, don't take me literally! It’s not about ditching the practical pants and throwing on a tulle extravaganza. Instead, let’s be *inspired*.

Here's how we can all embrace the Tutu in a fabulously sophisticated way:
  • Think *texture* - The airy tulle? Yes darling! So many beautiful dresses, scarves, and jackets have this whimsical feel now. The new *Alexander McQueen* collection, darling, is simply dreamy, so many *soft layers*.
  • Make it **BOLD**! We’re not going for *ā€œsubtle**ā€ with a tutu! Don’t be afraid to throw a statement color on the tutu scale! Bright pink, emerald green, sunshine yellow! (Remember - your personality is your greatest fashion accessory)
  • Embrace the ā€œballet ballerina bunā€ – It’s surprisingly sophisticated!
  • Remember - it’s about ā€œmore is MOREā€ Embrace those sparkly earrings! They deserve to be worn! A good statement necklace? Oh darling, yes please!
  • The **classic ballet shoe** is a *powerhouse of style*! So much elegance. If you dare, try this combo: classic pointy shoes with your favorite *tulle frock* - I promise you it will look **SO sophisticated and modern!**
  • Make **a ā€œtutu momentā€!** Find a **stunning tutu dress**. Go all out for that special event. The theater, that birthday bash, the art opening? Think pink, darling, think pink!

Don’t you just LOVE a splash of color and a dash of whimsy, darling? It’s time to make those **drab days** vanish into thin air! I’m sure all those beautiful tutus out there would agree – it’s all about having a good time and remembering why we love **being the glamorous, fabulous ladies we are.** So, let’s do this. I dare you to embrace your inner ballerina. Who knows? Maybe this will be the year you break out those **sequined leggings**, those **bright-colored, feather boas**. Why not! It’s February! A time for *a bit of magic*. Let your inner tutu queen fly free, and watch heads turn as you waltz your way into Spring. And don't forget, my lovelies, fashion is all about having FUN!
