Murrumburrah, NSW, Australia - #TutuTuesday

Hey darlings, it’s your girl, Poppy here, ready to talk tutu Tuesday. You know what they say, "Tutu Tuesday comes but once a week, so make sure you wear it right."

And you know I love my tutus! Now, some of you may be thinking, "What on earth is this tutu Tuesday business?" It's like a special day dedicated to celebrating our favourite fluffy and voluminous undergarment. I love putting on my tutus and dancing my heart out at the barre. Who knew something so poofy could be so empowering? Honestly, tutus give me that extra spring in my step and make me feel ready to conquer the world - or at least a pirouette.

Now, in the dance world, tutus are practically an institution, especially in Australia, where our ballet scene is bursting with talent. We've got a wide array of tutus out there - from classic romantic tutus with multiple layers of tulle and fluffy, gorgeous skirts, to sleek modern tutus that are minimal, sometimes even using a single layer of tulle or even other fabrics for a more contemporary look.

This Tuesday, I’m rocking a dreamy classic tutu, complete with those beautiful soft tulle layers that dance and swirl around you with every move. It’s absolutely the perfect tutu to wear for a light, airy class and it feels like a gentle, swirling cloud every time I twirl. For my class today, I picked a traditional pink, it's perfect for showcasing that soft, delicate feel. For a more modern look, you can go with bolder colours like black, navy or even red, and throw in some statement jewellery to create a dramatic edge.

But don't just take my word for it. Go out there, be brave and put on your tutu, darlings! I promise, once you put it on, you’ll feel like a queen! It’s not about how good you look in it, it’s about the confidence it brings and the joy of twirling, and let me tell you, that’s infectious! We all need a bit of sparkle in our lives, right?

Here's a bit of inspo for your next Tutu Tuesday:

  • Be adventurous: Try on a tutu that's outside of your comfort zone. If you love classic romantic tutus, maybe try out a sleek, contemporary one. And if you’re feeling daring, don’t shy away from adding some accessories for a touch of playful personality!
  • Embrace the fluffiness: I love getting lost in the layers of tulle on a traditional tutu, it’s so much fun to twirl and move. It really brings out the magic in us!
  • Get creative with colour: Don't be afraid to experiment with bright colours! This week, I’m rocking a classic, airy, traditional pink, but next time it’ll be something bolder, for sure. It's time to showcase your personal style!
  • Post it on the ‘Gram: Don’t forget to snap a picture of yourself rocking your tutu and use #tututuesday - don't forget #murrumburrahand #tutus. You could even do a little twirl video - go on, show us what you got!

Here’s the thing - when you put on a tutu, you put on your best, bold, fabulous self! You don't have to be a professional ballerina to join in on the tutu fun. Every girl needs to rock a tutu at least once! And let’s be honest, who doesn't love a little extra fluffiness in their lives, right?

So grab your tutu and get ready to shine! You got this, girl!
