Tutu Tuesday in Lake Oswego, Oregon Hey there, tutu lovers! It’s your girl, Amelia, back with another installment of my favorite weekly tradition – Tutu Tuesday! Today, I'm taking you on a whimsical journey through the charming streets of Lake Oswego, Oregon, where tutu-tastic adventures await! Let's get right to it, because this is going to be a *tutu* fabulous ride. I've been dreaming of a #TutuTuesday in Lake Oswego ever since I saw a photo of a local bakery decked out in pink and ballet-themed decorations. They even had a sugar-spun tutu masterpiece as a display! That's what I'm talking about, fellow dancers – embracing our passion even in the most unexpected places! Okay, I'll admit, finding the perfect spot for a tutu-themed photo shoot in Lake Oswego was like finding a four-leaf clover in a sea of dandelions! But then, just like magic, I spotted this dreamy little park with the most incredible gazebo you’ve ever seen. Seriously, picture-perfect. And it’s right across from this old, charming brick building – can you even imagine a more gorgeous setting?! Of course, no Tutu Tuesday is complete without a seriously killer outfit! So, I decided to break out my go-to romantic pink tulle tutu – the kind that gives off that classic, airy, ballet-dancer vibe. (Remember girls, the goal is to channel graceful movement and elegance, no matter where you go.) This tulle has to be the most delicate material ever – it practically whispers a symphony of "twirl, twirl, twirl!" in my ears. I know what you’re thinking – tulle tutus are great for classic ballet, but what about the modern ballerina? Well, don’t worry, I have the answer: for my look, I paired it with a soft, lavender blouse that tied around my neck in a graceful bow – just the right amount of edgy sophistication. I mean, who says a ballet dancer can't be a trendsetter?! Let’s get down to business with some style tips! A Ballerina's Guide to Tutu Tuesdays: * **Embracing Your Inner Swan:** Let’s talk tulle. We love our tutus, especially the soft, billowy styles of Romantic tutus or the layered drama of Romantic tutus, with their billowy layers. These iconic looks are perfect for the classically trained ballet lover. Don't be afraid to embrace your love for those graceful layers and make a statement, especially on your #TutuTuesday. * **Keeping it Casual Chic:** Maybe you’re a little more “everyday ballerina,” but still want to tap into that romantic ballet look! Try a tutu-inspired skirt, like a playful and airy tulle skirt, in a pretty color. That, my loves, is chic and elegant – and the ultimate outfit for your everyday life. I am *seriously* considering incorporating some of those skirts into my daily wardrobe! * **Add a Pop of Ballet:** It’s the perfect excuse to rock a classic ballet bun and add a few strategically placed rhinestones to accentuate your gorgeous hair – simple yet oh-so-glam! Remember to keep your hair off your face – a flawless bun is the perfect complement to a tutu-tastic outfit! * **The Shoe-perhero Secret:** Your shoe game needs to be as polished as your overall look. Whether you're all about those pointed flats for an extra dose of ballerina charm, or you prefer sleek, sporty kicks, don't neglect the perfect shoe for your #TutuTuesday outfit! It completes the whole aesthetic. I must say, dancing through Lake Oswego was pure bliss. The smiles and happy comments from everyone were the perfect icing on the tutu cake! So there you have it – my Tutu Tuesday adventure in the beautiful Lake Oswego, Oregon! I hope my story has inspired you to make your own Tutu Tuesday a spectacular celebration of your passion and personal style. Remember: Tutu Tuesday isn’t just about rocking a tutu; it's about embracing ballet in all its glorious forms and inspiring other dancers in the USA to embrace the elegance, grace, and beauty of this incredible art form. Keep twirling, and I'll catch you on the next #TutuTuesday! ###
