Tutu Tuesday in Birmingham, Alabama #tututuesday
Hey y'all, it's your girl, Lily, back with another installment of Tutu Tuesday! This week, I'm taking my love for all things tutus to the streets of Birmingham, Alabama. As a ballet dancer with a serious passion for fashion, I'm always on the lookout for ways to make my beloved tutus work for everyday life. And let me tell you, there are some seriously inspiring tutu moments happening in the heart of the South.
From Classic to Contemporary
First up, I'm loving the classic look. Nothing says "tutu Tuesday" quite like a flowing, romantic tulle skirt, especially when paired with a simple, elegant top. I saw a group of friends rocking the classic tutu look at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, and let me tell you, they were picture perfect! The sheer fabric and airy design were like a breath of fresh air, perfect for a day of strolling through beautiful gardens. You can’t go wrong with this simple style, whether you pair it with a simple top and sandals or with a chunky sweater and boots.
And let's not forget about the contemporary tutus! These styles are taking the world by storm, with their unique shapes and edgy designs. I'm especially loving the modern tutus that blend different fabrics, like chiffon and leather. Think sleek, asymmetrical cuts and interesting textures that take tutu styles to a whole new level. These contemporary styles are perfect for adding a pop of drama and sophistication to any look, so they’re totally worthy of their own Tutu Tuesday.
Beyond the Ballet
For all of you wondering how to make tutus work for everyday life, let me tell you: it's easier than you think! Birmingham has a growing arts and fashion scene that embraces the tutu. Here, a tutu can easily take you from an art gallery opening to a casual lunch with friends.
Think about it: what’s more fun than taking a staple of classical ballet, the tutu, and using it for anything other than dance? Just the act of wearing a tutu instantly makes your everyday life more fabulous, from errands to parties. I always feel empowered and ready to take on the day when I slip on a tutu, and I’ve got a feeling a lot of my fellow Alabama ladies feel the same way!
