Tutu Tuesday 21333

Tutu Tuesday in Mount Barker, Western Australia - #tututuesday G'day, lovelies! It's your girl, Chloe here, back with another fab Tutu Tuesday post! Today, I'm bringing you all the glitz and glamour straight from the heart of Mount Barker, Western Australia. As you know, #tututuesday is more than just a day to don your fanciest tutus - it's about celebrating the art form we all know and love: ballet! And, boy, does ballet in Australia have a lot to be proud of. Now, for a Tuesday with such a grand name, a simple tutu just won't cut it, right? I needed something extra, something that screamed "Mount Barker," and that's when it hit me - I had to pay homage to the stunning natural beauty that surrounds us here. My tutu for today, ladies and gents, is a showstopper: • The Fabric: Think flowing, ethereal silk, mirroring the soft grace of the eucalyptus trees that line our streets. • The Colour: I went with a vibrant sunset orange, just like those stunning fiery sunsets we get in the West. • The Embellishments: You bet I added some sparkle! We're talking crystal accents that glisten like the Milky Way above our town, capturing the magic of the outback night sky. And trust me, it wasn't just about the tutu itself. I wanted the whole look to reflect the vibrancy and character of Mount Barker, and that meant nailing the perfect accessorizing game. Here's what I wore to make my Tutu Tuesday ensemble pop: • **The Shoes:** My trusty pair of "pointe" shoes, painted with a sunset motif to perfectly complement my tutu. You can never go wrong with a little extra colour, right? • **The Jewellery:** I paired a statement silver necklace with golden earrings that shimmered like desert wildflowers, adding a subtle pop of rustic glamour. • **The Hair:** Now, nothing says Tutu Tuesday like a glamorous up-do, and I wasn't going to settle for anything less than perfect! A low ballerina bun, adorned with delicate silver sprigs reminiscent of the native wattles in the local gardens, completed the look. • **The Makeup:** I kept it natural with a hint of bronzer to emulate the warm glow of the outback sun, emphasizing my eyes with subtle, shimmering shadow. After all, I wanted to stay true to that "less is more" aesthetic that defines our Australian beauty standards. The location: Now, where else could I take my tutu-fied self in Mount Barker but to the magnificent Stirling Range National Park? With towering granite peaks and sprawling landscapes, it’s a sight that just takes your breath away. As I twirled around amongst those dramatic natural sculptures, it felt like I was part of an artistic performance, a tribute to the beauty of my home. #TutuTuesday is more than just a fashion statement. It’s about celebrating our passion, our joy, and our connection with art. And, in my humble opinion, it’s an absolute gem.
