Tutu Tuesday in Orange, New South Wales #tututuesday

Hey everyone! It's your girl, Lily, back with another Tutu Tuesday. Today, we're in sunny Orange, New South Wales, a city that's definitely got its own kind of charm, much like my love for tutus.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "Tutus in Orange? What's the deal?" But trust me, this town's got a lot to offer when it comes to fashion, and that includes those iconic ballet beauties – tutus. So grab a cuppa and let's delve into the world of twirling, sequins, and yes, tutus!

It all started when I was invited to an amazing event here in Orange. You know me, I'm a firm believer that every day is a chance to embrace our inner ballerina. So naturally, I thought, "What's a better way to celebrate the day than with a tutu?" Now, we're talking about Orange, not the Paris Opera Ballet, so there's a bit of a different vibe. Think "rural chic" meets "whimsical twirl". You know, the kind of vibe that makes you think, "Wow, someone actually knows how to wear a tutu outside the studio."

I decided to go for a classic style tutu with a twist. It was a gorgeous, romantic-looking, powder-pink, full-length tutu, with layers of soft tulle that billowed out as I moved. It was just enough to turn heads but also felt incredibly elegant. You know, sometimes, a full-on, dramatic tutu is not necessary. A little bit of twirling goes a long way. You could say it was my "everyday tutu" which felt sophisticated and quirky. Now, I know, there are tons of different kinds of tutus, each with its own unique flair: there's the iconic, short, fluffy Romantic tutu, which screams elegance and graceful twirls. There's the majestic, longer, flowing tutu which reminds us of dreams of grand ballrooms. But the classic tutu? Now, there’s a ballet staple that has a place in everyone's wardrobe.

For my accessories, I opted for some funky earrings that had a hint of Victorian sparkle, a pair of chic leather boots (you can't go wrong with a touch of leather in any town, really), and a simple black beret that tied the look together perfectly. And let me tell you, the combination of the bright tutu and my quirky accessories were the perfect mix to make the street a bit more sparkly. You see, a tutu is like a canvas for self-expression. It’s a statement piece that lets your personality shine, much like those Aussie women I've met here.
