Tutu Tuesday in Anglesea, Victoria: A Fashionable Adventure on the Surf Coast
Hey fashionistas and fellow dance lovers! This week's #tututuesday adventure took me to the stunning coastline of Anglesea, Victoria. It's hard to resist a day of salty air and sand dunes when you're a ballerina at heart, and let me tell you, this little surf town didn't disappoint. I decided to ditch the usual leotard and tights and opt for a tutu, after all, a tutu never goes out of style!
Now, you might be thinking "a tutu on the beach?" and you're right, it might sound a bit unusual, but that's the beauty of #tututuesday – it's about embracing individuality and having fun with fashion. I chose a classic Romantic tutu, the kind with a fluffy, layered tulle skirt that just screams "fairytale." The powder blue shade perfectly complemented the ocean backdrop, and the delicate silk bodice with its pearl detailing made me feel like a whimsical ocean princess.
I strolled along the beach, the wind whipping my hair and swirling the tutu around me like a soft cloud. It was a truly liberating feeling, just me and the sea, feeling the power of the waves against my bare feet. I paused for a photo shoot amidst the golden sand and rugged rocks, the camera capturing the movement of the tutu against the vast expanse of the ocean. It was like stepping out of a dream. You know, they say Australians are pretty good at outdoor lifestyle, but who knew that a tutu could make a beach walk feel even more glamorous?
But let's talk about the tutu itself – because, yes, they are truly a piece of art. My Anglesea pick was definitely more romantic than the rigid, sharp lines of a classical tutu that I'm used to in the studio. And I'm pretty sure it wouldn't go down so well at a ballet class, especially a "practice-hard, no fuss" ballet teacher like Mrs. Wilson, who taught me the intricacies of arabesque when I was just starting out. She'd probably shout, "Too flouncy!" or something like that.
This trip made me realise that tutus, with all their graceful twirls and delicate fabrics, can be enjoyed in more places than just a stage. From seaside promenades to bustling city streets, a tutu can add a touch of magic and personality to any ensemble. Just imagine the impact you can create! A bright yellow tutu at a picnic, a classic black tutu with a rock'n'roll vibe, a silver shimmering tutu at a disco! You can never have enough tutus in your life, my friends. After all, who wouldn't want a bit more magic and movement in their everyday?
Anglesea is a beautiful place with lots of opportunities for dance-inspired fun. Did I mention the incredible sunset I caught with the tutu? The sky painted itself with hues of pink and purple, perfectly mirroring the tulle layers of my skirt. It was an ethereal spectacle. The beauty of #tututuesday is its freedom – you can experiment with style, find your own creative expression, and celebrate the artistry of movement and fashion wherever you are.
So, embrace your inner ballerina, dare to be bold, and wear a tutu, wherever your heart desires. Whether it's for a whimsical picnic in the park, a walk on the beach, or a night out on the town, let's make #tututuesday a weekly celebration of dance, style and personal expression! And, when you get the chance, come to Anglesea. It's one of the best places to get in touch with your wild, free-spirited side. That's all for now from Anglesea, Victoria. Stay fabulous and never stop dancing. #tututuesday #angleseavictoria
