Tutu Tuesday 21054

Tutu Tuesday in Tallebudgera, Queensland, Australia: A Ballerina's Dream #tututuesday Hey lovelies! It's your girl, Amelia, back with another instalment of Tutu Tuesday, this time straight from the stunning shores of Tallebudgera in beautiful Queensland! Okay, so confession time. I haven't worn a tutu in ages, not since my days at the Queensland Ballet Academy. Honestly, I thought they were just for, you know, actual ballerinas on stage, not for your everyday average, semi-professional blogger. But then... *drumroll please*... #tututuesday happened. Let me back up a sec. For the uninitiated, #tututuesday is basically this gloriously whimsical trend where you take your fave tutu and wear it out in the real world, all while celebrating the grace and magic of ballet. Now, I've been following this on Insta for a while, admiring all the stylish ladies rocking tutus with everything from jeans and boots to floral dresses and sneakers. It looked SO fun, and after a week of gloomy, rainy Brisbane weather, I needed some sunshine, literally and figuratively. So, picture this: Tallebudgera Creek glistening in the Queensland sunshine, a gentle sea breeze whipping through my hair, and me... in a vibrant pink tulle tutu, swirling around like a fairytale princess! Okay, so maybe I'm not THAT graceful anymore after a couple of years out of the studio, but that's part of the fun, right? It's all about embracing your inner ballerina, regardless of how many years it's been since you last took a plié. Now, let's talk tutus! I went for a classic, romantic style with this one – soft, flowing pink tulle that whispered against my skin, with layers upon layers creating this gorgeous cloud-like effect. Honestly, it felt like I was wearing a mini cloud, which was surprisingly comfortable and totally breathable under the Queensland heat. But it wouldn’t be a #tututuesday post without a little nod to variety! I’ve been drooling over all the awesome styles that are popping up: * **The Romantic:** This one is for all the dreamers out there, featuring delicate layers of soft tulle in dreamy pastel shades. Picture a floaty, graceful vibe. * **The Modern:** It’s about making a statement. Think bold colors, sharp lines, maybe some interesting textures, even a bit of leather for a edgier twist! It’s totally a ballerina going on a date vibe. * **The Performance:** These tutus are the epitome of elegance and are more for stage, but that doesn’t mean you can't wear them to dinner or brunch! I'm talking structured lines, intricate beading, maybe even a bit of glitter, a real eye-catching moment. And guess what? You can find these styles everywhere! Vintage shops, online retailers, even those dusty, forgotten corners of your mum's wardrobe - just remember, #tututuesday is all about embracing your own unique style. My #tututuesday look was all about injecting some girly fun into my weekend. My go-to nude bodysuit and some stylish sandals kept the look sleek, and I paired it with a simple, white, button-down shirt that I tied up around my waist – perfect for a quick change when the Queensland heat starts to kick in. A woven tote bag full of my fave Aussie goodies completed the ensemble. I mean, how could I go out in public without a bottle of my fave sunscreen? Overall, this whole #tututuesday adventure has been a real reminder to embrace your playful side and your inner ballerina, even if it’s been years since you touched the barre. The response was amazing - I was stopped on the beach for photos with families who had also dressed up. I got high fives from giggling children, and my neighbours thought it was absolutely hilarious (the best kind of hilarious). Plus, who knew wearing a tutu could feel so empowering? It’s a little bit of whimsy and fun injected into your daily life, and I highly recommend giving it a go, Queensland or not. And let me know where you go for your own tutu adventure, I'm always up for seeing what everyone is rocking on #tututuesday!
