Tutu Tuesday in North Haven, New South Wales

G'day lovelies! It's your girl, Amelia, here, ready to bring some serious sparkle to your Tuesday. As a proud Aussie ballerina, I'm always on the lookout for opportunities to celebrate this iconic dancewear staple and what better day than #TutuTuesday!

Now, I'm not gonna lie, sometimes when I'm not dancing, a tutu feels like an oversized, glittery hug that you can't exactly fit into the washing machine. But lemme tell you, when you slip into that magical twirly piece of fabric, it's like putting on a costume that transforms you into a whimsical, graceful warrior queen. Talk about a confidence boost!

But there's more to a tutu than just its twirly glory, right? These bad boys come in a myriad of styles. Got your classic, knee-length tutu that makes every pirouette a picture-perfect dream? Then you've got your fluffy, frothy romantic tutus for the sweet and delicate ballerinas. Need something a bit edgier? There are even black tutus with daring, jagged edges that totally scream “punk ballerina.” And then you have your “festival” tutus, all rainbows, beads, and tassels - perfect for expressing your inner fairy! The choices are endless!

Now, for some of you, you might be wondering how to join the #Tututuesday party without having to whip up a tutu from scratch (although that's a fun project for a rainy day!). Luckily, there's a ton of amazing Australian stores with gorgeous tutus available - online and in-store - perfect for both your dance needs and casual #Tututuesday styling!

Remember those "festival" tutus I mentioned? You can totally rock those at the local park, on your way to the pub, or even at a coffee date. Pair it with a flowy crop top, your fave denim jacket, and some ankle boots, and you're set! For a more refined look, try pairing your tulle with a sleek top, leather jacket, and platform sneakers. Or even layer a black tutu over a sheer black maxi dress for a dramatic, ethereal look.

Honestly, the possibilities are endless! Just use your imagination and get creative! This is all about celebrating your unique style and having some fun with it! Don't be afraid to show your personality!

So, whether you’re rocking a vintage, handmade tutu or simply giving your favorite ballerina skirt a spotlight moment, I encourage you to share it with the world using #Tututuesday! Don't forget to tag your pics with #NorthHaven and #NSW so we can see all the amazing tutu styles making waves around our lovely Aussie city! Until next time, stay twirly, darlings!

Here are some ideas to add extra flair to your #Tututuesday looks:

  • Add a splash of colour! Tutu colours are limited, so let your top and shoes have some fun with pattern and colour! Think tie dye, neons, and all those pretty pastels.
  • Play with textures! Don't forget to add a statement piece or two to your tutu outfit! A wide-brimmed hat, some chunky jewelry, or a pop of faux fur are perfect ways to add that extra *something-something*.
  • Think beyond the standard! If you’re looking for a fun DIY project, there are tons of tutorials online for making your own tutus. Just pick your favourite colour tulle and let your creative juices flow! It's like creating a mini work of art. I even love a tutu over jeans when I need some fun in the casual wear wardrobe.

And remember, darling, there’s no right or wrong way to do #Tututuesday. This day is all about spreading a little sparkle and joy! So go forth and be the twirling, radiant goddess you truly are! And most importantly, have fun with it!
