Tutu Tuesday in Boddington, Western Australia
G'day, fashionistas! It's your girl, Amelia, here, back with another #tututuesday post. And this time, we're heading to the heart of Western Australia, Boddington, a town that might not be known for its haute couture, but trust me, we're about to change that.
Now, I know what you're thinking. A tutu in Boddington? What's the go with that? Well, let's just say it's a bit like finding a gold nugget in the outback - a delightful surprise, unexpected, and totally fabulous. And while we may not be strutting down a red carpet in Boddington, we're definitely bringing the glam, and showing everyone that the dance spirit can thrive anywhere.
The inspiration for this #tututuesday? Well, a couple of things, really. Firstly, I had the chance to head down to Boddington last weekend to visit my aunty's family farm. Now, if you're picturing sweeping fields and picturesque sheep, you're on the right track. It's a breath of fresh air, that's for sure. But what's even better? There's a local dance studio there, and these guys are seriously dedicated. Their passion for ballet was infectious, and it got me thinking - what could be more uplifting than bringing a bit of tutu-inspired fashion to the heartland?
Secondly, and this might seem like a weird link, I've been diving deep into the history of ballet in Australia, which actually started way back in the late 1800s. I was surprised to find that some of the first ballet companies were established right here in the West! That really opened my eyes to the amazing legacy we have, and it’s an absolute inspiration to carry that on, even if it’s just through our fashion choices.
And let's be honest, a little bit of tutu magic goes a long way, regardless of where you are. So, for my #tututuesday outing in Boddington, I channeled my inner ballerina (minus the pointe shoes, though I did almost do a grand jeté on the back porch, thanks to those cobblestone steps - ouch!) and donned a classic, tiered, tutu in a bold shade of teal. Imagine if Ariel from The Little Mermaid could rock a tutu - that’s what I was going for. It’s definitely not your traditional ballerina look but that's what I love about this trend - there's no rulebook!
Now, I'll admit, walking around a dusty outback town with a teal tutu isn't exactly your average Friday night. But, here's the thing - the locals absolutely loved it! Everyone stopped to chat, share stories, and even take photos with me. We laughed about the whole thing, and it truly brightened up my day. And let's face it, isn't that what fashion is really about? It's about making a statement, having fun, and feeling good.
For this outfit, I opted for a fitted, white linen shirt to tone down the ballerina vibe a bit and balance out the dramatic tulle. A pair of simple white leather boots rounded out the look. Think casual elegance – ready to walk through paddocks and explore a town where even the cows are chic! You know, it’s kinda hard to resist a little bit of glam no matter where you are.
Here’s a list of ways I took inspiration from my outback #tututuesday adventure and how to give your look a dash of Boddington flair:
- Go Bold: Don’t shy away from bright colours. We’re not all about dainty pastels here!
- Mix Textures: I love the combination of a classic white shirt with the soft, billowing tutu fabric.
- Embrace Casual Glamour: A pair of simple boots transformed my tutu into something totally wearable - perfect for exploring any dusty outback town!
- Don’t Be Afraid To Be Unique: Fashion in Boddington, WA is all about making a statement and standing out. Own your look, you’ve got this!
So there you have it - #tututuesday in Boddington, Western Australia. Whether you're in the city or the outback, remember that fashion is all about expression and having fun with it. Don't be afraid to try something new, something unexpected, and something that makes you feel like you're strutting your stuff, no matter where you are.
