Tutu Tuesday in Hillsboro, Oregon: Where Ballet Meets Fashion Hey Tutu Lovers! It's Tuesday, which means it's time for my favorite day of the week: **Tutu Tuesday**! I’m here in Hillsboro, Oregon, and I’m excited to share some of my favorite tutu looks for this week's theme: **Ballet in the USA**! Since I’m in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, I’m pulling some serious inspiration from the nature around me. The rolling green hills and the lush forests definitely inspired my **tutu** choice. Here's a rundown of my fave tutu picks and some inspiration for you, fellow fashionistas! * **The Romantic Ballerina**: This look channels the elegance of classical ballet, and is a perfect example of how a tutu can be both romantic and elegant. Think a classic **layered tulle tutu**, soft colors like pastels or cream, and flowing satin ribbon trim to give it that extra touch of glamour. This look would be beautiful for an evening performance at the ballet or a formal gala. * **The Wild and Free Tutu:** If you want to show off your daring side, the "wild and free" tutu is definitely the way to go! It's about expressing your individuality with layers of textures, pops of vibrant colors, and a playful feel. This tutu is all about embracing movement and pushing boundaries. Think feathers, asymmetrical shapes, bold colors, and a sense of whimsy. This is a tutu to really own, and it’s perfect for anything from a casual coffee date to a spontaneous evening of dancing. I like to wear it with a colorful floral shirt and some leather sandals for a really cool look. * **The American Classic**: This is my go-to choice when I'm paying homage to ballet in the USA! This look draws on the heritage and traditions of American ballet with an emphasis on the use of beautiful American fabrics and classic silhouettes. Think a **traditional ballerina tutu** - made of high-quality cotton or silk, adorned with subtle embroidery or ribbons in the American flag's colors - red, white and blue. For this tutu I love pairing with a white or cream button-up blouse for a sophisticated but comfortable feel. Let's Talk #TutuTuesday! Here are some #tututuesday tips and thoughts for getting the most out of your tutu style: * **Play With Colors**: It’s time to step outside the box with some colors! Maybe ditch the traditional pink for a bold pop of teal, an emerald green, or an ultra-violet hue. The colors are limitless so let your imagination fly and see what your favorite tutu colors can be! * **Experiment with Patterns:** A tutu doesn’t always need to be all one color. Go for stripes, florals, and maybe even animal prints. They’ll help to create a really dynamic look. * **Embrace the Power of Accessories:** When it comes to a tutu look, accessories are everything. A great scarf, belt or a pair of sparkly earrings can really make an outfit pop! Try a matching headwrap for a unified look that’s super stylish. Don't Forget to Tag Me!
