Tutu Tuesday in Tuross Head, New South Wales So, fellow tutu lovers, let's get real. What's better than a Tuesday? Tutu Tuesday, of course! This week, I decided to swap the barre for the beach and rock a classic tulle creation right here in the stunning coastal paradise of Tuross Head, New South Wales.
I’ve always been a big fan of ballet and the incredible creativity of the costumes and of course, the tutus. It wasn’t until recently that I started to embrace tutus as everyday wear, and my goodness, have I been missing out! They really can work with any look, and I love how they can instantly add a touch of elegance and whimsy to even the most casual outfit.
Okay, I know what you’re thinking. A tutu on the beach? But trust me on this. It works! There’s something undeniably chic about rocking a tutu with beach waves and a sun-kissed glow. Today’s choice? My classic Romantic tutu. That soft, flowy tulle just screams "fairytale" - the perfect backdrop for some coastal beauty. It has a beautiful layered effect which was lovely and airy in the cool coastal breeze. And you know what? I'm absolutely obsessed with this pairing! It’s a look that’s equal parts sophisticated and playful.
Tutu Style Inspiration - **Classic Romantic:** I started my day in this stunning tutu. This iconic tutu, featuring delicate layers of soft tulle, is a timeless classic, embodying the grace and femininity of ballet. Perfect for beachside strolls or picnics under the coastal sky!
- **The Modern Ballet:** While I embraced the romantic tutu for my Tuross Head day out, you could totally try a more modern tutu look for a tutu twist on a night out at one of the lovely restaurants around here. A chic, minimalist midi skirt tutu with a little black top, some cool, colourful heels, and maybe even a bold lipstick, would create an elegant, striking, and totally wearable evening look!
- **For a Day at the Races:** Let’s not forget about the famous races, a key event in the Australian social calendar. Imagine how a sassy, fiery tutu in a bright colour would steal the show in the fashion stakes at the next big race day in Tuross Head or the neighbouring town. You'd need a fabulous hat and statement jewelry to complete the look of course.
#TutuTuesday: Celebrating Ballet in Australia Speaking of celebrating ballet, what’s fantastic to see is that the ballet world in Australia is so dynamic. I was recently reading a fabulous article on ballet in Sydney, the very birthplace of Australian Ballet. From their incredible dancers and artistic directors, to the brilliant schools teaching students from across the country, and of course the dedicated community that makes ballet what it is – Australia really is a force in the ballet world!
Get the Tutu Look It’s inspiring to know you don’t need to be a professional ballerina to have fun with tutus! You can even find some fantastic tutorials online and DIY a tulle creation!
- **Shop:** If you’re wanting a classic look, don’t shy away from some of the big dance supply shops - just ask, you might be surprised at the range they have. And remember you don’t need to spend a fortune, think of a fabric market and a vintage shop – amazing finds there for sure!
- **Online Inspiration:** I get my style ideas from so many great blogs and Instagrammers. Let’s get that Tutu Tuesday community going. I love discovering new trends. Follow your favourite Australian ballet dancers and choreographers and see what they have to say – they’ve got the inside scoop and so much expertise on creating cool, current looks.
And, while I’m talking inspiration, I have a bit of a confession: I also started to notice the popularity of “tutu dresses” for everyday wear a couple of years ago. So versatile and feminine. You know how the modern fashion industry loves a mash-up. And if you want something more casual and on-trend - definitely go for that look.
