Tutu Tuesday in Lenexa, Kansas Hey dance fam, it's your girl, Olivia, back with another #TutuTuesday post, straight from the heart of the Midwest! Lenexa, Kansas – it's not exactly the bustling ballet scene of New York, but that just makes it all the more special to be spreading the Tutu Tuesday love. And, trust me, there's more tutu inspiration around here than you'd think!
I'm wearing a classic **romantic tutu** – a frothy layer of tulle that billows out with every plié. I’ve gone for the traditional white, but it's definitely giving off a “summery meadow in bloom” vibe with its soft, shimmering fabric. Speaking of texture, there's an awesome **vintage** store on 87th Street where I scored a **perfectly frayed** tutu for like $20, just waiting to be refashioned for an upcoming workshop. Think sequins, beads, and maybe a touch of glitter!
And hey, **Tutu Tuesday isn't just about the dancers, it’s about everyone!** Even if you've never worn a tutu, let’s celebrate the spirit of creativity, self-expression, and finding joy in the unexpected. Today, I saw a grandma rocking a vibrant red **tutu skirt** while grocery shopping. Don’t get me wrong – there’s something very empowering about owning your tutu!
**Here's a little inspiration for you, Kansas City peeps, if you're feeling tutu-fied:** * **Try out a new coffee shop in a tutu:** Lenexa has a lot of amazing cafes. Find the most Instagram-worthy one, order your latte, and strike a pose! It'll make a fun photo op, and who knows, you might inspire someone else to don a tutu, too. * **Attend a Kansas City ballet class:** The city has a vibrant ballet community, including studios offering open classes for everyone! It's a great chance to learn some new steps and embrace the tutus. * **Hit up a thrift shop and dig for a tutu gem:** You'd be surprised what treasures you can unearth. Whether you're after a statement-making **layered tutu** or a **simpler, classic style**, it's all about finding what speaks to your own personality!
