Tutu Tuesday in Bullsbrook, Western Australia: A Ballet Lover’s Dream

Hey there, fellow tutu enthusiasts! It’s your girl, Amelia, back with another dose of dance-inspired fashion. This week, I’m taking you on a whirlwind journey through the vibrant streets of Bullsbrook, Western Australia, where #tututuesday is more than just a hashtag, it’s a way of life. And let me tell you, it’s absolutely fabulous!

Bullsbrook, for those of you who don’t know, is a charming little town just north of Perth. It’s a place where the pace of life is a little slower, the skies are wide open, and the community spirit is strong. It’s also a place where people have a real appreciation for the arts.

And what better way to celebrate the beauty of dance than with a tutu, right? From the moment I stepped off the bus, I was struck by the sheer amount of tutu-wear on display. The local cafes were filled with ladies rocking their romantic, soft tulle tutus with a touch of floral lace, paired with chic sandals. There were even a couple of young blokes in their ballet class wear - seriously, the tutus in this town have a personality all of their own!

You see, in Bullsbrook, wearing a tutu isn't just about ballet. It's a statement, a conversation starter, a symbol of joy. And when I say joy, I mean it! I caught a couple of kids bouncing down the street in their little tutus, beaming ear to ear - it's so refreshing to see a little bit of that whimsical magic in everyday life, and I'm sure those tutus were causing a whole lot of happiness.

One of the things I love most about #tututuesday in Bullsbrook is the sense of camaraderie it fosters. There was this gorgeous, bubbly lady who runs a little arts supply shop in town. She even does ballet workshops with the local school children. Her store, decorated with tutus in all sorts of colours, is the perfect place to find everything a budding ballet enthusiast needs. When I stopped in to chat, we talked about everything from the best fabric shops in the area, to the perfect pointe shoe for a beginner. I left feeling completely inspired.

As the day went on, the tutus kept rolling in. There were sassy, full-length tulle tutus worn by some amazing ladies hitting the shops, graceful “fairy” tutus flitting about the park. Even a bunch of cheeky chaps wore tutus during the local “Bullsbrook Bake Off” - they all seemed to enjoy being a part of something fun! Honestly, it felt like a whole community had embraced a bit of fancy and put their best foot forward - a dance into fun.

Then, as the sun started to dip below the horizon, I caught the tail end of the town’s weekly market. This is where I truly got a sense of #tututuesday’s spirit. Imagine, if you will, stalls selling everything from locally made pastries and sourdough to handmade jewellery and vibrant fabrics. Now picture all that, with people sporting the most vibrant and colourful tutus you’ve ever seen - some even incorporating their outfits with unique handmade jewelry. Talk about a fusion of fashion and craft!

The energy was contagious, and it wasn’t just the tutu-wearers who were enjoying it. Local artists had booths set up showing off their creative talents, and even a few families joined in the #tututuesday festivities - with tiny tutus dancing amongst the crowd!

Bullsbrook taught me a valuable lesson on this trip: sometimes, all it takes to make a day magical is a little bit of “Tutu Love” and the willingness to embrace something different. This place is truly special, and if you ever find yourself in Western Australia, I highly recommend taking a trip to Bullsbrook and checking out #tututuesday for yourself. It's a tutu-licious experience, I promise!

Now, for those of you at home, let’s get your creativity flowing! If you want to show off your #tututuesday spirit, be sure to follow my tips:

Here are some of my favourite Tutu Tuesday style ideas for inspiration:

  • **The Classic:** Think soft tulle, light, feminine, and maybe a little sparkle.
  • **The Modern Take:** Add a modern edge with a fitted top and a pair of stylish sneakers.
  • **The Edgy Chic:** A leather jacket over your tutu? Now we’re talking! Pair it with some combat boots, and rock that statement look.
  • **The Dance-Ready Look:** Grab a soft or full tulle skirt, a pair of dance flats and your favourite ballet leotard, and unleash your inner dancer.
  • **The Rainbow Fusion:** Don’t be afraid to be colourful and experimental with different textures and colours for a bold and dramatic style.
  • **The Fairy Tale Flair:** Imagine something more whimsical - like a chiffon tutu or a pastel skirt with ribbons flowing in the breeze.

Whatever your style, make it fun! Embrace the tutu and get ready for some fabulousness.
