Bonjour from Aubervilliers, Île-de-France! It’s been a whirlwind of tutus and turns since I touched down in this vibrant city. And what better day to be celebrating tutus than on a #tututuesday? This Parisian suburb is bursting with energy and its own unique sense of style, so it’s no wonder I found myself drawn to the #tututuesday movement – it's the perfect blend of classic and contemporary.
Walking through the streets of Aubervilliers, I felt the history of ballet and dance in every cobbled stone and grand building. It’s a place where ballet legends have danced, where new talent is being nurtured, and where tutus have always held a special place in the hearts of its people.
This Tuesday was all about embracing the tutus that define the very heart of ballet. Think frothy tulle that practically dances in the breeze, the timeless elegance of a classic Romantic tutu, and those more daring, modern-day interpretations. Honestly, you wouldn't believe the incredible tutu options here, it’s tutu-tastic! I've found myself getting lost in a tutu paradise.
Now, I know what you're thinking. "How do I make tutu magic happen on a regular Tuesday?". Here’s the lowdown. For me, it's all about incorporating a hint of ballerina charm into my everyday wardrobe.
- Start with a tutu skirt. There are some incredible vintage stores scattered around Aubervilliers, bursting with treasures, including some magnificent tulle tutus.
- Add a statement top. Think silky blouses, flowy tanks, or a crisp white button-down – a contrast in style brings that "dancing on a dime" vibe. And remember, French chic is all about subtle layers.
- Accessorize like a true danseuse. Let’s be real, who doesn’t love a bit of sparkle? Delicate necklaces, those charming ballerinas that dance on the end of your earrings, a classic baguette bag – all good picks to create a look that’s both chic and whimsical. Don't be shy, think ballerina meets French fashionista!
- Don't forget about the footwear! Ballet slippers are my go-to, but if you're feeling bolder, a pair of heeled sandals or elegant flats will do the trick. The key is to find footwear that dances alongside your tutu skirt.
Aubervilliers has embraced the spirit of #tututuesday with open arms. You can see it everywhere – from the bustling boutiques to the vintage clothing stores. From street style inspiration to that enchanting ambiance in the air, it feels like Aubervilliers is a stage set for a breathtaking tutu spectacle. You really feel the energy – everyone embraces self-expression through fashion and style here, even with a dash of whimsy!
You might find me flitting about the city's ballet studios and schools, taking inspiration from local ballerinas and dancers. You've got to see their incredible dedication to technique and expression. It's a sight to behold and a powerful reminder of how dance shapes life.
It's important to remember that #tututuesday isn't just about looking good, it's about embracing your inner ballerina. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer, a complete novice, or just someone who loves the whimsical joy of a tutu, remember – dance like no one’s watching, because in this charming French city, you’re sure to find the perfect stage to do just that. I am already planning for next week’s tutu adventure, I have a feeling there's plenty more #tututuesday magic to be found here in Aubervilliers! 🇫🇷🩰💃 #tututuesday #aubervilliers #Île-de-France #balletlife #dancinginparis
