Tutu Tuesday in Latrobe, Tasmania: A Tutu-ful Day Out
Hey beautifuls! It's your girl, Chloe, back with another post, and today is all about #tututuesday! So, as you know, I'm all about bringing some sparkle and twirls to my life, and what better way to do that than to embrace the glorious, iconic tutu? Especially when it's #tututuesday. Today's adventure took me to Latrobe, Tasmania - a place that’s bursting with character and history, just like a classic ballet performance. I had to share this journey with you lovely peeps, so let's get into it!
First off, the best part of today's escapade was the sheer delight of sporting a tutu out and about. My choice for the occasion? A blush pink, tulle-tastic dream with a smattering of sparkling sequins that would make even the most jaded critic swoon! It was so much fun to wear, feeling light as air, and I got so many lovely compliments. Seriously, a tutu can make you feel like a princess (or prince!) and, trust me, it never fails to make people smile.
Tutu Styles Galore
Talking about tutu styles, have you seen the fabulous array out there? From the traditional romantic tutu with its voluminous, layers of tulle (think Swan Lake), to the chic and modern-day variation of the pancake tutu that offers a streamlined, sculpted look – you can truly find one to fit every personality. And if you want a tutu that's going to rock your world, take a look at the cheeky, asymmetric versions that have been gaining popularity - you can be a ballerina with an edge. It's an awesome way to put a playful, feminine touch on anything. It's tutu-tally rad!
Exploring Latrobe
Now, let's talk Latrobe! I felt a little like I'd stepped back in time when I arrived. I just adore historical places - so charming! The old architecture with its red-brick buildings and quaint, little shops were right up my alley. It was like a page out of a history book! I had a hot cuppa (with a generous dollop of cream!) in the sweetest tea shop, and it was simply divine! And for the tutu enthusiast like me, Latrobe’s got a treasure trove of beautiful vintage shops and boutiques with those perfectly quirky finds that always make my heart skip a beat. Oh, and the amazing murals! I couldn't resist taking a few pics in front of them - a tutu makes everything so much more fun.
