Tutu Tuesday 21427

Tutu Tuesday in Bridport, Tasmania #tututuesday G’day, fellow dance enthusiasts and tutu lovers! It’s your girl, Lily, coming at you live from the sun-kissed streets of Bridport, Tasmania, and guess what day it is? That’s right, #TUTUTUESDAY! You know what they say, “Once you go tutu, you never go back!” This little piece of fabric (or shall I say, layers of glorious tulle) holds the power to transform us from everyday civilians to ballerinas, prima donnas, or even mystical fairies! I mean, what’s not to love? And today, Bridport, Tassie has embraced its inner tutudom. I’m talking tutus of all styles, from the classic romantic pointe-shoe-ready tutu (oh, how I love the floaty layers of those beauties) to the playful and sassy mini tutu. **Here’s the lowdown on my Tutu Tuesday Bridport adventures:** * My morning kicked off with a trip to The Corner Store (gotta fuel up with some good old Aussie brekkie!), and I almost died from cuteness overload when I saw the local shop assistant rocking a teeny tiny ‘black swan’ tutu. Now, you know me – I love a bit of drama! The little tutu was paired with some chic black boots, and it just proved that you can elevate any look with a dash of tutu! * After my brekkie fix, I cruised through Bridport’s bustling little markets. This place is a gem! Found the most divine hand-painted porcelain ballerina figurines with their own mini tutus, just the right touch for a dancer’s studio or dressing room. And speaking of studios, a small dance studio, Ballet Tassie, even held an impromptu tutu-themed flash mob! The locals, young and old, put on a tutu extravaganza and showed the world that even in the smallest town, the love for ballet is real and alive and kicking. It was so good to see the joy of movement, even if it wasn't the professional caliber we see in the city ballet companies! * The afternoon saw me soaking in some sunshine by the beautiful Tamar River. I grabbed a picnic blanket and set myself up next to a bunch of families having a lovely time, some with their own tutu-wearing tots, of course. * My Tutu Tuesday Bridport escapade finished with a dinner at the delightful cafe, ‘The Old Mill House’. Imagine a cosy, timber-lined setting with fairy lights twinkling, and I was seated next to a table with a young girl in the sweetest pastel pink tutu with a fluffy matching cardigan. She even showed off her ballerina skills, doing little pirouettes, making my heart melts like a good Australian Pavlova in the sunshine! **Bridport and #tututuesday, a perfect match.** Bridport, with its stunning natural beauty and charming atmosphere, proved to be a truly fantastic canvas for my Tutu Tuesday escapades. It’s one of those towns where you can wear a tutu on any given day, and you’d never bat an eyelid! Let’s talk Tutu Style:** * Tutus for the every-day diva: It’s no longer about confining tutus to the studio. They’ve broken out of their stage-only territory and landed in a full-blown fashion revolution. I mean, what’s better than adding a dash of elegance and whimsy to an otherwise ordinary Tuesday? * Pointe shoes, optional: Remember that tiny black tutu I saw at The Corner Store? It shows that you don’t need a classic pointe shoe look to embrace the magic of a tutu. * Express yourself! Tutu styles are evolving, offering a wider range for expression! From soft, flowy tulle for a romantic look to bold and colourful designs that embrace the power of individuality, it’s all about finding what feels right! * Tutu trend, from Bridport to Broadway: Tutu fashion has taken the world by storm. Think about it – the fashion designers have gone nuts for this look, adding tutu-inspired accents to high fashion dresses, tops and even coats. * **Tutu trends in Australia:** Ballet in Australia is as dynamic as our landscape, from world-renowned companies in our major cities, to community ballet groups that blossom across our nation, the Australian dance community truly is a spectacle. **Let’s spread the tutu love** So there you have it, my #Tututuesday in Bridport, Tasmania! It was a day filled with sunshine, dance, and endless possibilities. So join the tutu fun! Share your tutu Tuesday adventures using #tututuesday! And remember, let your tutu spirit shine through every Tuesday. Because if there's one thing I’ve learned from ballet, it’s that with every twirl, with every grand jeté, we soar. You've got this! Love, Lily x
