Tutu Tuesday in Tallahassee, Florida, USA: A Celebration of Ballet and Fashion!

Hey everyone! It's Tutu Tuesday, and I'm bringing you all the fabulous, twirly, and totally chic updates from Tallahassee, Florida, USA! Itā€™s officially my favorite day of the week.

You know, Tallahassee, it's a city that may not always be in the spotlight for fashion, but we're bringing our own special kind of style to the forefront! It's a city that really embraces the art of ballet, and you'll find the community's love for dance reflected in the way they dress. I am super passionate about fashion, particularly ballerina style. Ballet has always been a source of inspiration for designers and it's a fun way to look like youā€™re about to take a pirouette.

Here are some Tutu Tuesday finds that are blowing me away, and are a great way to embody ballerina chic no matter if youā€™re in the ballet studio or not. Thereā€™s some serious #tututuesday action happening here!

  • The Romantic Tutu: This week, weā€™re going classic, but make it modern. The Romantic tutu is an elegant silhouette with layers of tulle cascading from the waistline, perfect for those who want a light and airy look. I love the way these flow and shimmer in the light.
  • The Pointe Shoe Inspired Heel: You don't need to be a ballerina to embrace the grace of a pointe shoe, which I can say first hand as I spend most days dancing on them. These high-heeled shoes that mimic the design of pointe shoes. This delicate and glamorous way to express your ballerina love for the everyday. There are so many fantastic ways to incorporate a touch of ballerina-inspired design into everyday fashion - from clothing and jewelry to bags and even shoes!
  • The Tutu Skirt: Of course I have to mention a skirt of sorts for Tutu Tuesday. But when I talk about tutus Iā€™m not just talking about a little girlā€™s costume anymore, there are seriously stunning tutu skirts. You can create endless outfit combinations and elevate your casual wardrobe instantly with the help of tulle. This classic tutu with its shorter, fuller, shape is versatile enough to wear as a party piece, while still holding that ethereal vibe we all know and love! You can throw on a basic tank top or t-shirt for a super easy, day-to-day look.
  • The Ballet Wrap Top: Tutu Tuesday in Tallahassee would not be complete without mentioning ballet style. Here in Florida the days get hot and long so sometimes the only thing that keeps me cool in a gorgeous dress is a breezy and stylish ballet wrap. When it comes to stylish ballerina fashion, thereā€™s really no such thing as a simple ā€œballet topā€. There are so many fun designs with delicate embroidery, or with lace or satin for a special occasion.
  • The Tutu-Inspired Dress: Ok. Ok. Itā€™s actually a dress, and an amazing one. We all love the elegance and twirl factor, of course. Look for a midi-length or maxi-length dress with flowing fabric for ultimate elegance. Wear your favorite dress with flats, or heels to dress it up for date night. Youā€™ll be able to embrace the ā€œtwirlā€ and not trip in this design! Donā€™t be afraid to play with color and patterns too, try going for an all-over floral or paisley for an on-trend look.

The tutu-inspired look can be a way of self expression for both ballet dancers and those that don't know how to pirouette. From everyday to formal and professional outfits, your ballerina-inspired fashion will set you apart from the crowd. It's all about owning the way you feel and making your own personal statement.
