Tutu Tuesday in Waltham, Massachusetts: A Celebration of Whimsy and Grace
Hey there, tutu lovers! It's your girl, Chloe, back with another installment of #tututuesday. Today, we're taking our twirls to the charming city of Waltham, Massachusetts. A place that might surprise you with its dedication to dance and a hidden gem for tutu enthusiasts like myself. I mean, let's be honest, when you think of ballet, the Boston Ballet usually pops into mind, right? But, Waltham holds a special place in my heart for its quirky boutiques, artsy coffee shops, and surprisingly vibrant dance scene.
For this #tututuesday, I'm sporting a whimsical, knee-length tutu, perfect for a casual ballet class, shopping trip, or maybe even brunch with friends (you never know what the day holds for a tutu girl). This tutu is all about fun and practicality, a delicate mesh of soft, pink tulle that whispers “sweet dreams” without shouting for attention. I’m thinking of pairing it with a light-weight grey cashmere sweater (just because my mama always said we can never be too prepared for the Boston weather) and some cute ballet flats for added sophistication.
Now, here are my picks for Waltham’s hidden tutu treasures. Buckle up!
- Dancewear Heaven - Waltham has a charming little dancewear shop tucked away on a side street that's called "Dancewear Heaven" and let me tell you, they’ve got every type of tutu you could ever dream of: from romantic classical tutus with tiers upon tiers of flowing tulle to the sleek modern tutus that are all about bold angles.
- The Whimsical Yarn – Who knew Waltham would have the most gorgeous collection of upcycled tutus? The owner, Mary, crafts custom pieces, giving new life to vintage tutus by incorporating quirky accessories and upcycled materials. I'm picturing myself sporting one of these gems while grabbing coffee at the cozy cafe across the street - all those tutu admirers would have their heads turned.
- The Artful Boutique – Let’s be honest, if a girl needs a little retail therapy, the best place is always a boutique and Waltham's "Artful Boutique" has been a personal favorite. This spot carries everything from statement jewelry, a must-have for any #tututuesday outing to cute floral prints and a section dedicated to whimsical ballet inspired art prints. Their owner, an aspiring ballerina herself, understands our need for the ultimate tutu ensemble and this shop truly does have it all, darling!
If there's one thing I love about Waltham, it’s the sense of community and the strong support of local businesses and artists. These tutu finds add to the charm and whimsy that truly sets Waltham apart from other cities.
I'm planning on heading over to The Artful Boutique after a quick pitstop at Dancewear Heaven and The Whimsical Yarn because let’s be honest, you can never have too much sparkle. Stay tuned for an updated look and #tututuesday Waltham, I’ll be back with you on this Tuesday to capture more sartorial moments!
