Tutu Tuesday 20370

Tutu Tuesday in Riddell, Victoria: A Whirlwind of Tutus and Aussie Spirit #tututuesday So, it's Tutu Tuesday, and Riddell, Victoria is buzzing with tulle! Let me tell you, it's a glorious sight to see the iconic fluffy tutu strutting its stuff down the streets of this quaint little Aussie town. Every Tuesday, we've been embracing our inner prima ballerina and letting our tutus flow. It's all about celebrating our love for dance and the beautiful, dramatic tulle creations that embody everything ballet. The #tututuesday trend has truly swept across the globe, but I've got to say, it's got a special flavour here in the land down under. We Australians know how to throw a party, and we certainly bring our unique energy to this celebration of ballet. For our tutu-ific day, the girls and I headed out in our finest feathered and frou-frou ensembles. My personal pick today was a classic romantic tutu with layers of tulle. You know, the kind that makes you feel like you could take flight (pun totally intended!). There's something magical about that swish and swirl, the sheer elegance of a romantic tutu. The airy tulle billowing as you walk? Yes please! But we weren't just limited to one style, the girls rocked all kinds of tutus: * **Romantic Tutus:** You just can't beat the graceful, airy feel of the romantic tutu. These beauties, with their layered tulle and soft flow, epitomise a certain graceful, whimsical energy. Think ballerina on pointe, with every step like a magical floating experience. * **Classical Tutus:** These are the ones you picture when you think of "tutu." The stiff, perfectly crafted tutu with short layers. You just can't go wrong with a classic tutu; it's a symbol of the artistry and precision of ballet. It has such an amazing structure! * **Contemporary Tutus:** We've seen a major rise in the use of more unconventional styles for tutus recently. Whether it's playing with texture, colours or design, it’s truly exciting to see modern twists on a ballet staple! I have to say, this style gives off a very dramatic vibe. **So, where do you find all these tutus?** For all the tutu lovers, the question is never, *if* you should buy a tutu, but *which* one to get. Riddell's vibrant community and passion for the arts have meant that we’re spoiled for choice: * **The local fabric store:** It’s a little more hands-on, but nothing beats picking out your favourite fabrics and creating a tutu to match your unique style! * **Second-hand stores:** Treasure hunts are our favourite, especially in vintage stores that often hold remnants of the beautiful past, like those gorgeous older tutu styles. I love that vintage touch! * **Online retailers:** This is where you find everything from those custom-made masterpieces to ready-to-wear gems. I’ve scored some absolute treasures online, from stunning tutus in various styles to DIY kits where I can let my creative side run wild. **From Tutus to Tea** The highlight of our Tutu Tuesday? After a morning of twirling around the shops and showing off our ballerina-inspired ensembles, we grabbed coffee at Riddell’s lovely local cafe. Of course, we had to coordinate our teacups with our tutus. It wouldn’t be a proper Tutu Tuesday without that touch of extra whimsy, would it? So why do we do it? What’s with this Tutu Tuesday hype? The #tututuesday craze goes way beyond a mere fashion statement. It's about joy, empowerment and the sheer magic of ballet. Every Tuesday, we embracing that childhood feeling of spinning around in tulle, twirling freely with boundless energy and just plain having fun. And for us Aussie ballet lovers, it's a chance to pay tribute to our rich ballet heritage. Australia’s contribution to the world of dance has been significant, with its innovative choreography, renowned ballerinas, and captivating performance. Tutu Tuesday serves as a way to connect with that cultural history and celebrate a form of art we love dearly. **A Final Note: It’s not just about the Tutu** While those tutu twirls certainly steal the show, let’s not forget the other fun stuff: the bold hairstyles, vibrant makeup, playful jewellery – we embrace it all! You just can't help but get into the creative spirit when it’s Tutu Tuesday! And hey, remember it's not just for the ladies. Our husbands have joined the fun, rocking their own interpretations of tutu chic - a patterned bowtie here, a tulle scarf there, and sometimes, a cheeky little tutu dress for a bit of extra fun!
