Tutu Tuesday in Emerald, Queensland
G'day, fellow tutu enthusiasts! It's your girl, Ava, back with another installment of Tutu Tuesday, and this week we're taking it to the Emerald, Queensland, outback! 🇦🇺
Now, you might be thinking, "Emerald, Queensland? Isn't that, like, a million miles from the nearest ballet studio?" And you'd be right, it is a little remote! But even in the heart of the Outback, we can find some incredible fashion inspiration. Just gotta know where to look.
Today, we're talkin' about embracing your inner ballerina in a whole new way. Think, rugged charm meets classic elegance. Because let's be honest, sometimes the most unexpected places bring the most amazing styles. And believe me, folks, Emerald's got that good good.
So, how can you work a tutu into your look while you're tackling the dusty tracks of the outback? Here's a few tips:
- Embrace the "Western" Look
- Opt for a Romantic and Edgy Combo
- Ditch the Traditional Tights and Rock a Boot
Forget what you've learned in ballet class. Let's mix things up, folks! A killer pair of boots (think ankle boots or even those chic cowboy boots that are so in right now) and a statement tutu can create a whole new look. We're talking about a balance between grace and toughness. Plus, you can wear this style practically year-round! Don't forget about layering up in cooler months for maximum style.
- The Power of Accessories
Think about those classic denim skirts we all love. Well, imagine a denim skirt but made with a twirl-worthy fabric - enter, the tutu! Now, we ain't talking about a traditional pointe shoe-style tutu here. I'm talking about a playful, whimsical layer of fabric, perfect for adding a touch of sass to your daily outfit. Pair it with a button-up shirt or a classic leather jacket for that edgy-yet-sweet combo. You can find those adorable "denim-style" tutus in a million fabrics now. And lemme tell ya, a good chambray, it's lookin' mighty fine on Tutu Tuesday!
Let's embrace the "country princess" look! The magic here? Layering a classic tutu over a flowing maxi dress or maxi skirt. It's like giving your dress a personality transplant! A black tulle tutu can transform a floral maxi into a super stylish night out ensemble. Think about the possibilities!
No tutu is complete without a few trusty accessories! I'm talkin' boots with statement buckles, cowboy hats, or even those adorable felt fedoras with some embellishment! The key is to choose accessories that echo the "country chic" theme while amping up your overall style. A great belt will give you a bit of structure around the waist, and a fun straw hat or cowboy hat can give a country-chic touch. Remember, ladies, always finish with your best smile! Confidence is the ultimate accessory!
And before you head off into the great outback with your tutu on, remember, it's not about perfection; it's about embracing the fun and unique spirit of #Tututuesday. You know, I've even seen a couple of Aussie gals rock a tulle skirt while doing a spot of rodeo roping at Emerald's annual Rodeo and Campdraft! Imagine a beautiful twirling skirt amidst the dust and the cheers. What a sight!
So, whether you're exploring the bushwalking trails in the Carnarvon Gorge National Park or having a fancy dinner at the local pub, remember, your Tutu Tuesday spirit can shine wherever you are, whatever you do! Now get out there, girls (and boys! I love to see the guys wearing a tutu now and again!) and show Emerald that you’re ready for #Tututuesday.
As I say every week, don't forget to send me pics! Show me how you are styling those amazing tutus! Tag me on social media using the #Tututuesday hashtag, or hit me up on Instagram for a chat about how you can bring that tutu style to Emerald. And if you see me around Emerald, come and say hi! Gotta love the outback community! Cheers to you all, and keep on twirling!
Love,
Ava 💕
