Tutu Tuesday 20224

Tutu Tuesday in Wauchope, New South Wales: Tutu Time, Anytime! #tututuesday Hey there, fellow tutu lovers! It's your girl, Ellie here, straight from the heart of Wauchope, New South Wales. The air might be a bit crisp down here, but my heart is as warm as a freshly baked lamington! And you know what gets me truly heated? **Tutu Tuesday, of course!** This week, I decided to ditch my usual black leotard and tights combo and really go all out for a #tututuesday celebration. The challenge, as always, was to pick a tutu that would capture the spirit of Wauchope – that quintessential Aussie small-town vibe. I mean, it's a place where everyone knows your name (and sometimes your dog's name, too!). And honestly, what better way to showcase that friendly, laid-back attitude than with a tutu that was equally fun and charming? I settled on a classic **"Romantic" style** with a **soft blush-pink colour** and delicate layers of tulle that floated like the clouds we have here in the valley on a fine summer day. A hint of sparkle in the netting provided that touch of shimmer that, let's be honest, no true tutu enthusiast can resist. The waistline, adorned with a single, simple satin ribbon, felt oh so effortless, just like strolling down the Wauchope river on a weekend. Speaking of weekend strolls, I knew my #tututuesday attire wouldn’t be complete without a fitting location for a photo op. Wauchope is home to some stunning nature reserves and hidden spots just begging for a photo shoot, but I wanted to add a little historical flavour to my #tututuesday post. The Wauchope Shire Hall was the obvious choice! The gorgeous verandah, with its intricate details and ornate columns, seemed to be made for twirling, and it made me feel like I'd stepped straight out of a 19th century Victorian dance. Just picture it: me, all smiles in a pretty tutu, posing by the building like a Victorian debutante! And then, the moment arrived: photo time! • The sun was dipping behind the mountains, casting an orange glow across the sky – I mean, just heavenly, right? • My trusty camera (and my equally trusty selfie stick!) were in hand, and I struck a series of classic ballet poses. My "arabesque" pose looked divine in front of the Hall’s grand, timbered entrance, while the swirling layers of tulle perfectly caught the golden evening light during my "fouetté". Of course, you don't need a grand backdrop like the Shire Hall to channel your inner tutu queen! Anywhere you choose, any day of the week is your chance to strut your stuff and rock the tutu life, even in a charming coastal town like Wauchope! Whether you’re strolling through the Wauchope Shopping Mall, grabbing a coffee at The Gallery Café, or having a picnic in the magnificent Wauchope National Park, remember to celebrate the unique style that a tutu brings! Just picture all the delightful conversations and the compliments that are guaranteed to flow! Seriously, there's no better feeling in the world than when someone asks, “Where did you get that amazing tutu?!" **But here’s the real magic of tutu wear:** It’s more than just an item of clothing; it’s a state of mind. ** It's a declaration. It's a celebration. It’s a reminder that you are you, and you deserve to express yourself through fashion. And for me, my personal #tututuesday is an opportunity to connect with my passion, to bring a bit of magic to my everyday life, and, quite frankly, to inspire other women in the Wauchope community (and beyond!) to wear what they love, be confident in their own style, and twirl with absolute joy.** Now, let me know: Where will you rock your #tututuesday in style? Share your #tututuesday snaps with me! I’d love to see the amazing tutu adventures you’re having across the land. Let's bring a whole lot of joy to this beautiful, crazy, beautiful world, one tutu at a time. Because really, it’s never too late to twirl! And, when in doubt, always go for the big, fluffy, fabulous tutu – a true icon of Australian fashion and a statement piece that never goes out of style. Just like our amazing ballet scene, you know? The iconic "Australian Ballet" brings beauty and joy to every corner of our land. Catch you next #tututuesday, Ellie.
