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. Weā€™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, itā€™s none other than the undisputed queen of all things frothy and fabulous, the ever-so-dreamy TUTU! I know, I know, youā€™re thinking, ā€œBut darling, don't tell me youā€™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, hereā€™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. Donā€™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, thereā€™s a tiny bit of the Britney Spears inside all of us, just itching to come out. So hereā€™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! Itā€™s not about ditching the practical pants and throwing on a tulle extravaganza. Instead, letā€™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**! Weā€™re not going for *ā€œsubtle**ā€ with a tutu! Donā€™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€ ā€“ Itā€™s surprisingly sophisticated!
  • Remember - itā€™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!

Donā€™t you just LOVE a splash of color and a dash of whimsy, darling? Itā€™s time to make those **drab days** vanish into thin air! Iā€™m sure all those beautiful tutus out there would agree ā€“ itā€™s all about having a good time and remembering why we love **being the glamorous, fabulous ladies we are.** So, letā€™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! Itā€™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!
