Tutu Tuesday 10912

Tutu Tuesday in Anaheim, California: Tutu-ing it Up in the City of Angels #tututuesday Hey, fashionistas! It’s your girl, Amelia, and it’s finally Tutu Tuesday! You know what that means, right? It’s time to celebrate the iconic and always-inspiring dancewear that makes us feel like ballerinas even when we’re just grocery shopping or taking the dog for a walk (don’t worry, my little chihuahua, Coco, loves twirling!). As a ballet dancer, Tutu Tuesday is like a religious holiday for me. The first time I saw a real, full-fledged tutu, I was mesmerized. It was all tulle and glitter and magic. I knew right then that I wanted to wear that magical garment on stage. Even though I’m in Anaheim, California, and not performing at the Bolshoi Theatre, I can still get my Tutu Tuesday fix! Today, I’m taking my tutu on a little adventure in Anaheim. This isn’t your typical Tutu Tuesday. You see, Anaheim isn’t just about Disneyland and the Mouse; it’s also about culture, diversity, and finding unexpected inspiration. I’m on a mission to find some truly amazing outfits that could be styled with a tutu. So let’s break down the Anaheim Tutu Tuesday agenda, shall we? • **First Stop: Anaheim Packing District**: If you haven’t been here, you’re missing out. It’s a foodie haven, with dozens of unique food stalls offering everything from ramen to artisan cheeses. It’s a colorful wonderland, the perfect place to kick off Tutu Tuesday with a little shopping and some Instagram-worthy eats. The packing district, with its eclectic array of storefronts and diverse crowd, is the perfect place to show off my new tutu, a classic white romantic tutu with soft, flowing tulle that gently sways as I walk. Think Swan Lake meets SoCal sunshine, a tutu that’s both ethereal and carefree, a tutu made for taking on the world, even if that world is a vibrant, bustling food hall. This tulle masterpiece deserves to be paired with something edgy, something that screams "I'm a dancer who loves fashion," right? The Packing District has just the thing! Let me introduce you to my new go-to, a vintage denim jacket with playful embroidery of butterflies and flowers – it’s all about adding a touch of unexpected sweetness to an edgy staple. You know me, always going for that perfect balance! And because Tutu Tuesday is a celebration of everything ballet and all things sparkly, my look wouldn't be complete without a bit of sparkle. My go-to glam piece is a pair of sparkly ballet flats with a touch of gold embellishments, providing a glamorous nod to my ballet roots without sacrificing comfort. It's a chic and subtle way to embrace Tutu Tuesday and stay comfortable as I explore Anaheim. • **Second Stop: Anaheim Plaza**: Anaheim Plaza, in the heart of downtown Anaheim, boasts some truly stunning art murals. My love of art and all things artistic goes hand-in-hand with ballet – so I’ve found a Tutu Tuesday-worthy style perfect for taking a walk and snapping pictures. This Tutu Tuesday is all about playful prints and artistic expressions. I’m channeling a little Frida Kahlo with my bold printed pants and cropped tank top, with vibrant colors reminiscent of Mexican folk art. Throw on my floral print skater skirt to add a bit of a vintage touch, making a statement that celebrates the intersection of art and fashion. For a touch of whimsy, I'm keeping my tutu playful but light - a romantic and flowing white tutu that twirls effortlessly with every step, capturing the joy and dynamism of the mural backgrounds. To make sure I’m in tune with my street art-inspired aesthetic, I've added a sleek pair of black leather ankle boots to add some edginess to the overall look, balancing the playfulness of the tutu with a touch of urban chic. And, naturally, I wouldn’t be on Tutu Tuesday without the appropriate glam! To make the perfect statement, I’m pairing my bold attire with a vibrant and daring red lipstick. You know me - I’m never afraid to add a pop of color, and a red lip is my go-to for creating a dramatic and alluring contrast. • **Third Stop: Disney Concert Hall in Downtown LA**: It may not be Anaheim, but a tutu day trip isn't complete without a trip to Los Angeles and one of my favorite places in all of California, the stunning Disney Concert Hall. What’s not to love? Frank Gehry’s iconic design, world-class musical performances, and the overall beauty of it all. It’s practically designed for Instagram! And you know I have the perfect tutu ensemble for this special outing. I’m going for something bold, something elegant and a little bit glamorous. It's all about creating that perfect blend of classic ballet style and modern couture. The ensemble for my Disney Hall adventures? It's all about showcasing that tutu with a glamorous black slip dress, pairing sleek sophistication with the undeniable magic of ballet. It’s that perfect “cocktail party chic meets classical ballet” look that works with a bit of Hollywood magic! To complete the look, I'm adding my classic black heels with a delicate, glittering embellishment for a hint of glamour. It’s the kind of ensemble that’s both striking and versatile, perfect for everything from strolling around a grand concert hall to soaking up the California sunshine at one of the city's legendary patios. Tutu Tuesday in Anaheim is so much more than a costume. It’s an attitude. It’s about confidence. It’s about showing the world that you love your passion and expressing your creativity. It’s about proving that you can be playful, glamorous, and effortlessly stylish even in a full tulle skirt! #tututuesday #anaheim #california
