Tutu Tuesday in Bordertown, South Australia
G’day lovelies! It’s your girl, Maisie, bringing you another dose of dance and fashion, this time straight from the heart of rural South Australia, Bordertown! I’m kicking off this #Tututuesday with a little adventure, taking my ballet inspiration beyond the city streets and into the charming, dusty heartland.
The air is crisp and clean here, with the scent of gum leaves hanging heavy in the morning air. It’s a stark contrast to the bustling streets of Adelaide where I normally train. Bordertown offers a tranquil escape, the perfect backdrop for a Tutu Tuesday celebration!
But don't let the peaceful vibes fool you, darling, I'm bringing the high kicks! And believe me, these tutu choices are anything but dull.
Let’s start with a little style chat, shall we? Now, if you're imagining dainty, poufy tutus fit for a ballerina swan, you’re only halfway there. This Tutu Tuesday is a wild ride into the world of contemporary tutu styles – and a whole lotta cheeky, Aussie flavour, of course.
Firstly, we’ve got the **"Short & Sweet"** vibe – think a tutu in classic black tulle, hitting mid-thigh and skimming the skin like a second skin. I’ve paired it with a killer pair of black boots, a chunky knit, and a hint of red lipstick. This one's for the sassy, street-smart dancer with an edgy attitude.
Next up is a total showstopper - the **"Rainbow Remix"**. We’re talking a custom-made creation with layers upon layers of pastel tulle – lavender, mint green, baby blue – the lot! It’s playful, ethereal, and definitely the most "Instagrammable" outfit in Bordertown right now.
And for those who are ready to take Tutu Tuesday to the next level, there's the **"Urban Chic"** look. This one's for the daring, for the dancer who's not afraid to push boundaries. Imagine a structured tutu, crafted from a geometric pattern of charcoal tulle, flowing gracefully towards the floor. Paired with a slick leather jacket, fierce eye makeup, and some statement earrings, this tutu’s ready to rock the runway - or, in this case, Bordertown’s main street.
This journey has definitely been an eye-opener, teaching me that ballet in Australia isn’t confined to any particular setting. There's magic in each place we explore, whether it's a studio in the city, a theatre stage, or a sleepy town like Bordertown. It’s all about the love of dance and the passion we bring to every pirouette.
So here’s to you, Bordertown, a small town with big hearts, beautiful countryside, and a healthy dose of Tutu Tuesday spirit! It's truly inspiring.
Now, tell me, lovelies! Which tutu style are you feeling today? Let me know in the comments! And don't forget to tag your #Tututuesday pics!
