Hello darlings! Welcome back to my little corner of the internet where pink tutus reign supreme! 🩰 Today, as always, is #TutuTuesday, and we're taking a trip through time to the grand year of 1870, my dears. Fancy that, eh? A whirlwind train journey, some exquisite performances, and a dash of fashion, oh, how delightful!
Now, you know I adore a good travel adventure. And to think, back in 1870, trains were all the rage. It was the very height of elegance to be whisked away on the iron horse, gazing at the changing scenery. Imagine, a glimpse of a world moving at lightning speed, right from your plush velvet seat! Imagine me, of course, in my perfectly pink tutu, with the latest fashion of the day - maybe a jaunty hat and a stylish parasol - taking in all the sights!
Speaking of stylish, my darlings, you simply must pop over to the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. The year is 1870, and we're talking full-on theatrical delight! Imagine the grandeur of the setting - ornate décor, elegant gowns, and - yes, you guessed it! - ballet!
You simply cannot have ballet without tutus, now can you? Even in the early days, the elegance and beauty of the ballerina, their every graceful move highlighted by the delicate layers of tulle, was quite something!
While we're on the subject, 1870-03-08 saw a very special premiere - the delightful 'Romeo and Juliet', a romantic ballet which I'm sure you can imagine myself enjoying from my very special box seat at the Metropolitan! The romantic air, the beautiful choreography, and the grand setting of Verona all combine for a spectacular theatrical evening!
Of course, a ballerina simply cannot resist the pull of a stunning performance - I find it so inspiring, and it certainly gets the creative juices flowing when it comes to tutu ideas! You know, some tutus with just the slightest hint of Juliet's elegant red hues - oh, my! Simply divine.
But, as the dust settles on another dazzling ballet performance and the applause dies down, there's nothing I love more than a little shopping! The shops back in 1870 were a dream - exquisite materials, delicate fabrics, and the most imaginative milliners! My dear, even if a ballet costume is on your mind, a trip to the shops can be an incredible inspiration, so remember, every trip has its fashion moments!
The wonderful thing about my travels is discovering that while fashion might change over the years, a tutu is always a timeless classic! My mission, my darlings, is to encourage you all to don a pink tutu, be it on a Wednesday or a Sunday. So embrace your inner ballerina, let loose, and join me on the #pinktutu revolution!
Stay tuned next week for another amazing journey through history. Until then, darling! Remember, pink tutus forever! 💕
Your ever-loving Tutu Trendsetter,
