Tutu Tuesday in Urbandale, Iowa: A Tutu-tastic Celebration!

Hey everyone! It’s your girl, Sarah, back at it again with another fashion-tastic blog post. This time, we’re taking a trip to Urbandale, Iowa – not exactly known for its fashion-forward vibe (sorry Urbandale, I still love you!) – but let’s change that together.

The inspiration? Today’s theme is #TutuTuesday! As a ballerina with a serious penchant for all things tulle, I figured why not spread the joy of twirling and tulle in a town that needs a little dose of fashion flair. After all, ballet is for everyone, and tutus should definitely not be confined to the stage!

Let's get this party started. Here's what you need to know to pull off a perfect Tutu Tuesday look:

  • Pick your Perfect Tutu: We're talking classic Romantic tutus with their layers of frilly goodness, the dramatic and iconic Swan Lake tutu, or a more modern and streamlined look with a contemporary, almost streetwear, style. Go for something that expresses your personal flair, whether you like a bold statement or a subtler, whimsical approach.

  • The Art of Pairing: Tutues are incredibly versatile! I love how a classic tutu, like a Romantic or Swan Lake tutu, paired with a simple black top and sleek heels creates a beautiful contrast. And for those who want a more edgy, street-style look, think denim jacket over a contemporary, sporty tutu with a pair of platform sneakers. I’ve also seen the amazing looks with the tutus and bomber jackets - and believe me, it’s fierce.

  • Don't Forget Accessories: Think sparkling jewelry that adds that touch of elegance and maybe even a colorful scarf or ribbon tied around your bun – these are some easy ways to make your tutu pop!

  • Confidence is Key: Whether you’re sporting a classic or modern tutu, owning your style and feeling confident is crucial. We need to normalize the expression of our inner fashionistas, and for some, maybe it’s through tulle and for others maybe it's not, but rocking what you feel confident in is the key! #ConfidenceIsQueen.

What's the best part about this #TutuTuesday trend? It doesn't matter if you have never even seen a ballet before. We’re all embracing a little bit of grace and elegance – because at the end of the day, it’s all about finding a bit of joy in everyday fashion. The fun thing is that ballet is enjoying a new wave of popularity in the United States! And maybe, just maybe, seeing more and more people twirling in their #TutuTuesdays can be an important part of that.

And let's be real, it's not about perfection. It’s about celebrating creativity. I hope this has inspired you all to find your inner ballerina and wear your tutu with pride. Happy #TutuTuesday everyone!

Until next time,

Sarah
