Tutu Tuesday in Longwarry, Victoria: A Whirlwind of Tulle
Hey there, tutu-loving friends! It's your girl, Chloe, back with another installment of #tututuesday, and today we're taking it to the streets of Longwarry, Victoria.
Now, I know what you're thinking. Longwarry? That's a bit of a long drive from the big city, right? But trust me, you wouldn't believe the hidden gem of tutus waiting to be discovered here. And the thing about tutus, my dears, they are a universal language, no matter the postcode.
It was an absolute scorcher when I rolled into Longwarry. With temperatures hitting the high 20s, you might think a tulle tutu is the last thing you'd want to be wearing. But, just like a good pair of swimmers, a tulle tutu knows how to cool things down with its light and breezy style.
Now, Longwarry, I have to say, didn't disappoint. We're talking some seriously fantastic tutus here, all kinds, shapes and sizes:
- Classic Romantic Tutus: Oh my god, these beauties were just swoon-worthy. Think layered, soft tulle in blush pink or a delicate pale blue. The perfect pick for that ethereal ballet-inspired look.
- The Contemporary Tutus: Now, we're talkin' real trendsetters! Think asymmetrical cuts, daring colours like sapphire or burnt orange. They really pack a punch on the runway.
- And don't even get me started on the '80s revival of the big tutus. Forget the tiny, poufy versions we all associate with classical ballet. These babies are more like tulle explosions, seriously big, and you know what? It’s all about embracing your inner fashion icon.
Seriously, you just have to embrace the fun. And I'm here to tell you that Longwarry is not just a place for the casual tutu wearer, it’s for the serious aficionado. But honestly, you don't need to be a ballerina to rock a tutu. Tutus are, like, the ultimate statement piece, and it's not about the dance itself, but about the power to turn heads.
From the vintage tutu shops I found nestled between the antique furniture stores to the new shops bursting with colours, you’d swear you were on a shopping spree in Paris. The owner of "Vintage Tutus Galore" gave me the best tips for mixing and matching tulle textures and colours. Seriously, who would've thought that pink and silver would look so good with that vintage pale yellow? But this shop owner in Longwarry had the secret sauce.
Honestly, Longwarry just gets it when it comes to embracing a little sparkle in life, and the tutus here were definitely more than just a fashion accessory. It's a feeling! You've gotta feel it. That rush of feeling like a princess in a magical fairytale... yeah, you can find that magic in Longwarry, Australia!
Now, it wouldn't be #tututuesday without a little dose of inspiration, would it?
- I recommend everyone pick a spot where you can really get into the #tututuesday spirit. Find your perfect spot with some killer lighting - think a field of wildflowers, the city's skyline, maybe even your favourite café. The best lighting really makes a tutu sing.
- Be fearless! You don’t need a formal dance background to twirl around, own it! A little dance moves and a smile can work wonders on your self-confidence!
- Tutus are the best way to show off your creative side. Add some statement accessories, experiment with makeup, find some vintage pieces in second hand stores... anything goes.
- Finally, let's spread the love for tutus, let’s keep the #tututuesday community rocking, and always remember, be proud to rock that tutu.
Don't forget to post your Tutu Tuesday photos and videos with the hashtag #tututuesday. Now that I’m back home from Longwarry, I am planning my next adventure, a tutu expedition to find more inspiration in Victoria. Maybe I'll head out to Melbourne next? We’ll see, but stay tuned for my adventures!
