Hey lovelies! It's your girl, Chloe, back with another edition of my favourite weekly ritual: Tutu Tuesday! This week, I'm taking the celebration of all things tutu to the picturesque town of Mulwala, nestled right on the banks of the mighty Murray River in New South Wales. Let's just say, I'm channelling some serious Aussie spirit and embracing the laid-back vibes.
Tutu Tuesdays have been my go-to way to spread some joy and add a dash of sparkle to my week ever since I discovered the beauty of ballet in Australia. Itās such a fabulous way to express your love for the graceful art of dance and embrace a touch of whimsy! And letās face it, every outfit needs a touch of ballerina magic, am I right?
Now, youāre probably wondering: how do I celebrate Tutu Tuesday in the heart of Mulwala? Well, first and foremost, I'm sporting a classic romantic tutu that I snagged from a vintage store back in Sydney. This babyās a dream with tiers of delicate tulle in soft hues of rose and ivory, just perfect for those dreamy twirls along the riverbank.
It's all about embracing a relaxed and casual vibe ā a real homage to the Aussie spirit! Iāve paired the tutu with a flowy white cotton blouse and a vintage denim jacket to balance out the femininity and make it a bit more approachable. Plus, comfy sneakers for those long walks exploring the river's hidden gems. Iāve even found a gorgeous local craft market with handmade accessories. Snagged myself a flower crown for some extra ballerina charm - #floralheadbandforever.
Now, for some seriously fun facts about the Tutu, Mulwala, and all things dance: A Blast from the Past - Did you know that the word ātutuā comes from the French word "tutu" meaning āa little ballā? So essentially, a tutu is a little ball of sheer fabric and delicate twirls! - Traditionally, the "Romantic tutu" with its flowing tiers of tulle was first introduced during the 19th century! - Ever heard of the "Classical tutu"? Now weāre talking about those iconic short tutus with a cone shape! Thatās the signature of classic ballet style.
Speaking of classic ballet styles: Did you know that Ballet has been thriving in Australia since the 1800s? That's a rich history full of stunning productions and incredible talents!
For a town with a reputation for water activities and relaxing by the river, Mulwala is truly brimming with artistic spirit. If you find yourself exploring this little gem, donāt forget to swing by The Mulwala Community Theatre!

For all you ballerinas and tutu-loving enthusiasts: Hereās a rundown of some must-haves: - Don't be afraid to mix and match different tutu styles. You can find some stunning pieces online or even try vintage shops like I did! Think romantic, classic, and modern: - Modern Tutues have a more playful and comfortable style and feature layered tulle in striking contemporary colours. - **Be creative:** If a full tutu is too much, try pairing a mini skirt or a layer of tulle over jeans with a ballet-inspired top for a casual and effortlessly chic look! - Remember those essential dance staples like ballet flats or comfortable sneakers. I love a touch of leather, suede, or velvet to compliment the lightness of the tutu! - Donāt be shy to experiment with hair and makeup! I think an elegant bun and a subtle red lip is always perfect for a #tututuesday in Mulwala! Making tutu a way of life!
