Tutu Tuesday in St. Charles, Missouri: Tutu-ing Around Town! #tututuesday Okay, so you guys know how much I love a good tutu. Like, seriously, what’s not to love? They’re whimsical, elegant, and basically the embodiment of ballet dreams! And guess what? This Tuesday was all about celebrating those tulle dreams! So, my #tututuesday journey started with a visit to the charming boutiques of Historic Main Street in St. Charles, Missouri. This is where you'll find those cute little shops tucked away, each with its own unique vibe and style. My mission? To find the perfect tutu for a special occasion coming up.
Now, you gotta know, I'm a little picky when it comes to my tutus. First off, I like to go for a timeless look with a touch of whimsy, something classic but with a little something extra. Think, a delicate pastel pink with a hint of shimmer or a sassy black with a sprinkle of sequins. Plus, you just can’t go wrong with a beautiful white or a bright, bold red. It just makes me feel like a true ballerina queen.
After browsing the adorable shops and trying on several amazing tutus, I settled on a perfect light blue creation. It was flowy and ethereal with some beautiful handmade flower embellishments - totally a #tututuesday win!
