Tutu Tuesday in Berrigan, New South Wales: A Celebration of Pointe Shoes and Whimsy
G'day lovelies! It's your gal, [YOUR NAME HERE], and guess what? Tutu Tuesday has finally hit the streets of Berrigan, New South Wales, and I couldn't be more chuffed! It's been a whirlwind of sequins, tulle, and some seriously gorgeous tutus that would make even prima ballerina Sylvie Guillem green with envy.
So, what is Tutu Tuesday all about? It's a celebration of the iconic tutu - that whimsical, swirling symbol of grace and elegance. Forget your boring, old everyday wear, this is about embracing the dramatic and celebrating everything ballet and beautiful. The day is a reminder to channel your inner ballerina, even if you've never stepped foot on a stage, and embrace that tutu love!
I’ve been following #tututuesday for a while now on Insta and was thrilled to see that it was finally gaining momentum in my home town! So, armed with my camera and my favourite tutu - a classic pale pink with a sweet little ribbon tied at the waist (classic!), I hit the streets ready to snap up all the tutu inspiration I could get!
Now, let me tell you, the Berrigan crowd embraced the challenge. I saw some seriously stunning creations! From the classic powder pink, layered, tutus that we all adore, to a daring black feather tutu that really made a statement (my inner ballerina screamed ‘amazing! ’!).

Here are a few of my favourites:
I spotted one young mum, who clearly hadn’t let motherhood dampen her style, sporting a bright blue, fluffy, tutu, with sparkly blue sneakers (I might have borrowed that idea). The look was fun, fabulous and perfectly expressed her love for ballet! I had to grab a snap before the crowd snatched it up! You know we all love a ‘classic ‘ tutu. I loved the gentleman sporting a long, floaty pale pink tutu and matching pink shirt. He was clearly embracing the theme to the fullest and it looked absolutely magnificent.

A tutu for everyone!
There were plenty of creations for every taste: a bright yellow tutu with polka-dot accents with a matching polka dot handbag was super cute and reminded me of the gorgeous sunshine on these beautiful winter days! One group of young teens even turned the occasion into a costume party! They were dressed in fairy costumes, complete with glitter, wings, and, of course, some stunning tutus.
