Darling, May has sprung, and you know what that means - a new season, a new you! This month's trend? The ethereal, the fantastical, the *oh so graceful*.
So how do we channel this into the most breathtaking tutu or leotard? Think delicate, think dreamy, think sheer and floaty! You want something that whispers, *'I may be a ballerina, but I'm also a fashion icon!'* (You know I'm right! ?).
Now, let's get practical. First, we need our base. I'm suggesting a **pale lilac leotard, with a subtle, romantic lace overlay.** This gives a touch of Parisian chic with just a whisper of 'you better watch out, I'm coming for you, ballet world' *smirking*.
Next, we take things up a notch with a **tutu. Opt for a wispy, layered tulle in a gradient - starting with lilac, then flowing into a pale lavender. A dash of silver shimmer just above the layers, to catch the stage lights - exquisite!* Think *pixie dust*.
Essentials: ā¢ Pale lilac leotard: * Try the *Danza Dreams* range, it's lovely, their lace options are perfect for this trend. * You can find it at *La Ballerina* online or in their London store. * You know, you could always look at *Dance & Grace*, but they can be a little on the *formal* side sometimes... ā¢ Layers of lilac tulle: * If you're looking for that high-end Parisian quality, try *Etoile* fabrics, they are divine, but pricy. * A great, more accessible option is the *Sparkle & Grace* shop, they always have lovely textures and colours. ā¢ Silver Shimmer Tulle: * We want subtle, my dear, not a disco ball! *Just a hint* to catch the light - *En pointe*. * You can find that sort of stuff at most fabric stores online. ā¢ Hair and Makeup: * Hair? Simple chignon with a few loose strands framing your face. * Makeup? Porcelain-smooth skin, flushed cheeks, and just a hint of pink lipstick - like a ballerina, but made for a runway!
Now, darling, you don't have to be *too literal* with all this, that's the fun of fashion! Be playful, be daring, but above all, be *YOU*, honey!** And never forget to *smile,* because after all, dancing is about joy!
