Tutu Tuesday in Montclair, California Okay, so let's be real, tutus are not just for ballet anymore, right? It's like the ultimate power move, adding that extra dash of "I woke up feeling fabulous" to any outfit. And in the magical land of California, we embrace the fun side of fashion with open arms – or should I say, twirling arms? This week on Tutu Tuesday, let's take a stroll through Montclair, CA – the most charming little town nestled right next to the heart of LA, with vintage shops that'd make a vintage fashion blogger weep tears of joy and cafes that serve the most delicious avocado toast this side of the Mississippi. And yeah, they’ve totally got a place for tutus, too. 😉 Speaking of tutus, here's a confession: I'm completely in love with the versatility of the tutu. Forget what you thought you knew about "ballerina only" – tutus are like the chameleons of fashion, transforming effortlessly from delicate and graceful to daring and fun, like, "Let's party!" It's the fashion accessory that keeps on giving. Here’s the low-down: we’ve got three main types of tutus dominating the scene, and trust me, they are taking the streets (and the Insta-world) by storm. • The Classic Romantic Tutu: It’s the kind of tutu that conjures up dreams of sugar plums, a swirl of layers that looks as if it were dreamed up in a fairy tale. Picture a soft cloud of tulle that's about to drift off to neverland, a delicate ballet dancer's dream. You'll often see this kind of tutu used for bridal parties – adding a touch of whimsy and fairy tale to the whole affair – or, even styled with a bomber jacket for that perfect street-chic meets girly-girl look. • The Themed Tutu: This is the tutu that knows how to celebrate the occasion! Whether it's a rainbow of tulle for pride celebrations, an array of bright and vibrant colors for a carnival vibe, or an array of holiday cheer for Christmas – themed tutus are ready to shine! Imagine rocking a sparkly green tutu on St. Patrick’s Day! It’s practically begging for a photo op! And who doesn’t love rocking a sparkly gold tutu for New Year's Eve?! • The “Party All Night” Tutu: Oh, the "party all night" tutu. This is not for the faint of heart, because let me tell you, this is the type of tutu that will turn heads and make a statement, no matter where you go! This one is less about delicate and graceful, and all about rocking it in a "come-on-over, let's have some fun" vibe. We're talking bold colors, edgy silhouettes, and maybe a splash of sequins, with the perfect "I'm here to celebrate life" energy. This one is perfect for the wild-spirited and free fashion-lover within you. My take? Forget "tutues are just for the stage," they’re the quintessential statement piece! So, Montclair, CA! It's Tutu Tuesday, let’s make it the most fabulous, tutu-filled day of the week! We'll be strutting through town with a smile and a twirl, ready to embrace the fashion magic of the tutu.
