Tutu Tuesday in Beverly, Massachusetts: Tutu Tales from a Ballet Blogger #tututuesday Hey everyone! It's your girl, Maddie, back with another #TutuTuesday blog post. This week, we're hitting the streets of Beverly, Massachusetts, where the cobblestone streets are lined with quaint shops and the air is always fresh, especially after a visit to the ocean! I love Beverly, because it truly embodies the spirit of New England – you've got the seaside charm, a dash of history, and a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes me feel right at home. Today, I'm showcasing how to wear a tutu for everyday wear, proving that twirling and tulle can fit seamlessly into your day-to-day style! So grab your favorite tutu, a pair of comfy shoes, and get ready to unleash your inner ballerina. **My Tutu Take on Beverly:** * **Beach Chic:** First stop - the iconic Beverly Beach! I opted for a classic white tulle tutu, so light and airy, and a vibrant, floral print crop top. The combo is both breezy and stylish! Let me tell you, there is nothing more refreshing than strolling along the beach in a soft, romantic tutu, the waves crashing in the background. Plus, the way the sun glints off the tulle makes you feel like a graceful goddess. * **Coffee Break at The Common:** Next, it was off to the bustling Beverly Common, the heart of the city. A few blocks from the coast, the Common feels like another world! Here I'm showcasing a playful polka-dot tutu, perfect for a day out in the city! To bring it down to earth, I paired it with a simple black sweater and combat boots. This look embodies the perfect balance of sophisticated chic and youthful playfulness! * **Historical Exploration:** For my final stop, I'm wandering through the history of Beverly! Nothing says "time traveler" like a tutu in a vintage setting, right? I picked a dark charcoal tutu, almost a charcoal grey, with delicate sequins and an antique lace pattern. Paired it with a leather jacket and chic knee-high boots, this outfit makes for the perfect walk through the quaint lanes of Beverly! **The History of Tutu Trends:** From the Romantic period with their soft and flowing skirts to the dramatic and longer tulle in the mid 1900s, tutus have undergone a significant transformation in ballet. The ballet scene in the USA continues to flourish. Whether it's New York City Ballet, Boston Ballet, or the San Francisco Ballet, we have so much beautiful artistry. There's also something so special about finding small studios and programs across the country - their passion for the art form is contagious! And, of course, we all have that ballerina inside of us who wants to take on the role of Swan Lake's Odette. **The Tutu's Power**: You see, tutus aren't just for dancers! Tutus have become a symbol of playful individuality, femininity, and of course, ballet! From streetwear to fashion shows to even weddings, tutus have gained popularity far beyond the ballet stage, breaking free from traditional conventions. This embrace of tutus reflects our desire for comfort and style in everyday life! **Tutu Time!** It’s official, #TutuTuesday is more than a day - it's a movement! Let's see those tutus popping up across the nation, from Beverly, Massachusetts to all corners of the USA!
