Tutu Tuesday in Mount Evelyn, Victoria
#tututuesday
G'day, fashionistas! It's your girl, Olivia, back with another post about all things fashion, dance and life. This week's focus: Tutu Tuesday. Yep, that's right. I'm talkin' tutus - those whimsical, magical garments that scream "ballet" in every stitch and twirl.
Now, I'm not gonna lie, I have a bit of a soft spot for tutus. As a professional ballet dancer in Melbourne, Victoria, they've been a part of my life for longer than I can remember. But lately, they've become so much more than just a uniform - they've evolved into a statement. A statement of confidence, of artistic expression, and of pure joy.
You see, tutu Tuesday is about more than just wearing a tutu - it's about embracing the ballerina within, even if you haven't touched a barre since primary school. It's about letting your inner child loose and expressing yourself through a dance of fashion and creativity.
But let's face it, the real stars of the show are the tutus themselves. This week, I'm focusing on the classics. Picture this: A wispy, powder-puff tutu, spun from layers upon layers of tulle, evoking the elegance of a swan or the ethereal beauty of a sylph. Now, imagine it in a soft blush pink, a rich ruby red, or a crisp, icy blue. You're talking pure fantasy right there!
But there's something equally exciting about the contemporary tutu styles popping up. The asymmetric cut, the bold statement colour, the playful bursts of textures - these tutus are about challenging the norm, embracing a modern twist. They say you can dance through life like it's a stage, and in that case, the modern tutu is your ultimate stage costume.
Here's what makes tutu Tuesday in Mount Evelyn, Victoria special for me. For one, the vibe here is just different. It’s got that whole countryside chill vibe. This place isn’t just for city folk, it’s where the creatives escape, it’s where the imaginations run wild. So, it only makes sense to embrace Tutu Tuesday here, right?
But let's not forget that tutus are a global phenomenon. Tutu Tuesday is about uniting all fashion-loving souls from all over the world, from London to New York, Paris to Melbourne. The power of a tutu lies in its universality; it transcends language and cultural boundaries, simply communicating joy and grace.
So, whether you're a seasoned ballet pro, a weekend warrior dancer, or just someone who loves to express themselves, get your tutu on this Tuesday!
Here's to you, and to all the dreamers, fashionistas, and dancers out there. Happy Tutu Tuesday!

**My Must-Haves For Tutu Tuesday:**
* A Classic Tulle Tutu - Because you can't go wrong with the timeless appeal of this beauty. And in my personal opinion, the perfect colour is pink. Blush pink, dusty pink, soft pink - just choose a hue that speaks to your inner ballerina!
* A Statement Modern Tutu - Go for asymmetry or a dramatic colour, and remember that less is more in the accessory department with this one - let the tutu speak for itself.
* Some Statement Jewellery - For a classic tutu look, some statement jewellery adds a bit of sparkle, whether it’s pearl earrings or a dramatic necklace. You can go with classic, understated earrings with the contemporary tutu look. Let the vibe guide you here, but remember - less is more!
* A Ballerina Bun (or Hair Accessory) - If you’re really embracing your inner ballerina for the day, style your hair in a sleek bun or use a cute headband or clip to hold it in place. **Follow along!**
