Tutu Tuesday in Monrovia, California: A Whirlwind of Tutu Inspiration #tututuesday
Hey Tutu Lovers! It's your girl, Ava, back with another #tututuesday post, and today we're twirling right into the heart of Monrovia, California, for a dose of ballet-inspired fashion that's anything but basic.
I'm a firm believer that tutus deserve their own special day. They're more than just a ballet staple— they're a symbol of artistry, grace, and that unbridled joy you feel when you spin around in a twirl and feel like you're flying. This #tututuesday isn't just about rocking a classic tutu. It's about finding that one piece of clothing or accessory that gives you that same feeling of exhilaration you get when you nail a perfect pirouette.
And guess what? Monrovia, California, has this fabulous vibe that just begs for a #tututuesday extravaganza. It’s got that small-town charm that feels incredibly welcoming. Every corner you turn feels like it's waiting to inspire the next big fashion trend.
Let’s talk tutus—because really, where do we even start? I'm obsessed with all things tulle— from classic, short, Romantic tutu’s for the ballerina in all of us, to the more modern take on tutus with those layers and layers of mesh and netting— the more volume, the better. The sky's the limit when you're wearing a tutu.
And just because #tututuesday is all about tutus, it doesn’t mean it has to be solely a dancewear affair. If you’re feeling brave enough to step outside the comfort zone - rock it as a skirt or layer it with some ripped denim for a touch of street style and edge. Let’s bring a little bit of tutus to the every day—we can definitely achieve this, no doubt.
And the accessories—don't even get me started. There are tons of ways to amp up the #tututuesday vibes. Think glitzy, shimmering ballet flats that can take you from studio practice to a night out on the town, or a sparkling hair comb, just waiting to add that final touch of magic.
My top #tututuesday finds in Monrovia, California were all about discovering pieces that would work in my everyday life.
- A chic boutique with some incredible Romantic tutu skirts — I can't resist the drama of those multiple layers of tulle and lace— they really capture the beauty of the traditional ballerina look
- A cute vintage shop filled with ballet flats— sparkly and shimmery – absolutely everything a girl could want to go with a #tututuesday look. I'm sure I spent at least 30 minutes there, and left with three pairs
- My absolute must-have purchase was at an artsy local shop in Monrovia - it sold this adorable ballet-themed tote bag – that had little ballerina shoes printed on the bag— definitely gonna carry this everywhere— what better way to show off your love of dance.
What I love about this #tututuesday experience— and I think you guys will love it too — it's so much about having fun with it! Embrace the twirl, let your creativity loose and just own that sparkling, confident #tututuesday energy.
