Ravenswood, Western Australia - #tututuesday
G'day, fellow dance enthusiasts! It's your girl, Olivia, here, ready to spill the tea – or should I say, the tutus – on the most delightful dance-filled day of the week: #tututuesday! As a ballerina in the vibrant heart of Perth, I’m obsessed with all things tutu and today's blog is dedicated to this dance-inspired day.
Now, before I get carried away (which I totally will), let me tell you about why #tututuesday is my favourite day.
- It’s the perfect excuse to embrace my inner ballerina. There’s something magical about the feeling of swirling tulle and the way it captures the essence of movement and grace. #tututuesday allows me to wear the garment that defines who I am as a dancer.
- It's all about the 'gram! From the graceful spins to the perfectly-captured twirls, I can unleash my inner dance-loving fashionista, taking pictures all over Perth - it’s practically the most Insta-worthy day!
- A moment for community: It's amazing to see the diverse community of tutu lovers across Perth and around Australia come together and celebrate a shared love for dance. #tututuesday is a reminder that we are a tribe. And I wouldn’t have it any other way!
Now, I’m a firm believer in finding the perfect tutu to suit your personality. Whether you prefer a classic romantic tutu, a glamorous poupee tutu, a contemporary lyrical tutu, a cheeky demi tutu, or a daring modern tutu, #tututuesday gives you the chance to flaunt your style and rock the most spectacular fashion piece.
There's no rulebook for wearing a tutu. If you feel it, own it! Throw on that tutu, strike a pose and join in on the fun. Let’s break down some styling tips for each tutu type:
Classics with a Twist: A romantic, white tutu will never go out of style. This is the ultimate ballerina aesthetic that makes you feel like a real fairytale princess. For a classic look with a modern twist, consider wearing a bold red lip with a vintage-style jacket or try incorporating playful, modern jewelry for a touch of urban edge.
Contemporary Flair: A demi tutu offers a perfect mix of versatility and sophistication. Paired with a modern fitted tank top and statement earrings, you'll be rocking contemporary style effortlessly. Remember to always go for bold and bright colors that match your fierce personality!
All that glitters... A poupee tutu is pure glamour, all about catching the light and making a dramatic entrance. If you are a dramatic, glamorous fashionista, embrace a sparkly top and heels, but remember to let the tutu be the center of attention and add subtle but fabulous pieces!
Whether you're a seasoned ballerina, a ballet enthusiast, or simply someone who loves to have a bit of fun, #tututuesday is for everyone! So put on your fanciest tutu, rock it with confidence and get ready to share the dance magic.
