Tutu Tuesday in Oceanside, California: A Celebration of Tutu Love!
Hey everyone, it's your girl, Maddie, back with another post about my favorite day of the week – Tutu Tuesday! As you all know, I'm a huge fan of ballet and everything that comes with it. From the elegant movements to the gorgeous costumes, it's a world of artistry that I simply adore.
And of course, no ballet outfit is complete without a stunning tutu! Tutus are the epitome of grace and beauty. The way they flow and twirl with each movement, it's like magic! And this Tuesday, Oceanside was practically bursting with tutus!
There's something truly magical about seeing people wearing tutus in their everyday life. It's a celebration of creativity and self-expression, and it always brings a smile to my face. It's a way of bringing a little bit of artistry and beauty to the world around us.
Of course, my favorite type of tutu is the classic Romantic tutu, with its billowing layers and delicate tulle. But Oceanside had it all today! We had the graceful, floor-length tutus for a romantic look. There were short, tutus with frilly layers perfect for twirling around a sunny beach in Oceanside, and there were even a few dancers sporting simple, practical, everyday-wear tutus - like a classic ballet tutu but shorter and in soft, comfy fabric perfect for a coffee shop visit!
The best part? Everyone embraced the spirit of Tutu Tuesday with such enthusiasm! I saw people rocking their tutus at the farmer's market, the local bookstore, even the coffee shop downtown - I even spotted a tutu-clad dog being walked on the beach, I kid you not! I saw every tutu imaginable - from elegant pastel colors, brightly colored ones with rainbows of tulle - even some people sported tutus that sparkled under the California sun. It was truly a sight to behold! Oceanside seemed to be in on the #Tututuesday fun and a lot of the businesses, even ones not connected to dance at all, embraced the #Tututuesday spirit.
There's no doubt in my mind: Tutu Tuesday is quickly becoming a global phenomenon, but I feel like Oceanside, California has really embraced the #Tututuesday vibe. Here's hoping that it continues to spread the love of tutus all around the globe! But seriously - check out Oceanside, it’s a beautiful beach town and the people are amazing!
Anyway, this is your friendly neighborhood Tutu Enthusiast signing off! See you all next week, for a new installment of Tutu Tuesday!
Here are my favorite moments from today:
- This couple twirling on the Oceanside pier was so cute! I mean, could you imagine having a more picturesque setting to wear a tutu? I would have been jealous if I wasn’t just so darn delighted for them. I wish I'd been able to take their photo - the man was rocking a tutu too - no judgement from me!
- This little girl dancing in the street while wearing a tutu just lit up my day. It brought out my inner child and I could totally tell the entire crowd thought she was just the best!
- My personal favorite tutu spotted was this custom-made one with shimmering sequined snowflakes – it was truly breathtaking! I even think I saw the name "Oceanside" somewhere on it. There really is a community spirit here.
- This guy, clearly no newbie to dancing and ballet, just breezing through the Oceanside Farmer's Market wearing a stunning, almost-floor-length white tutu was amazing. His swagger was next level. He must have been a ballet dancer for years!
- I just have to talk about the tutu dog. Look I know some people might say that dressing dogs up is crazy. But it was a chihuahua in a sparkly tulle tutu that actually kind of looked really at home wearing it! They clearly were a part of this beach city! The dog didn't even seem to mind at all!
You can follow my adventures on Instagram, where you'll find loads more #Tututuesday pics, as well as behind-the-scenes fun and maybe some of the fashion inspiration I get from Oceanside’s many local dance studios - I swear they're a huge source of inspiration.
Until next time, keep it stylish, keep it fun, and keep those tutus twirling!
