Tutu Tuesday 23096

Tutu Tuesday in Mount Dandenong, Victoria #tututuesday Okay, fellow tutu enthusiasts! It's Tuesday, which means it's time to whip out those frothy delights and celebrate the most fabulous of garments, the TUTU! I'm your resident Tutu Queen (yes, that’s my official title), and I’m ready to share some serious tutu love with you all. If you know me, you know my passion for ballet – it's ingrained in my soul, from my years at the Victorian College of the Arts in the city, to now when I'm just dancing around the lounge in my fluffy ballet slippers. I've always adored tutus, ever since the first time I glimpsed a professional dancer on stage, soaring and twirling with an ethereal grace that just left me speechless. There's a magic to the tutu, it’s an instant symbol of fairytale and magic, but you know what else? They are comfy, and they make you feel amazing. Let's face it, a little bit of tutus in your life just brightens up your day! Today's #tututuesday theme? "Tutu Styles" – from the grand romantic tulle classics, to the sleek contemporary variations. There are SO MANY OPTIONS to get you through this week's wardrobe decisions. Let’s get into the details… **Here’s how we are breaking down the world of tutus:** * **The Romantic Tutus:** These are your big, dreamy, airy affairs. Think "Giselle", think "Swan Lake". All those layers of delicate tulle swirling and twirling, creating an atmosphere of pure romance and magic! This is the kind of tutu you wear when you're feeling a little bit extra, and a lot bit glamorous. * **The Classical Tutus:** We all know the classics. The "La Sylphide" – that single-tier, full circle tutu that gives that timeless, ballet dancer silhouette – a pure icon. Or the "Paquita" tutu with multiple layers of lace, tulle, and ribbon, this one adds a little more dimension, giving us structure but still remaining oh so airy! If you want a tutu that will always be in style, look no further than the classic styles. They're the timeless ones, so you can just twirl with the confidence of knowing you're wearing a piece of ballet history! * **The Contemporary Tutus:** These tutus are not about frills and fluff, but instead about sleek lines and minimalist styles. They can be constructed with fabrics that are as much silk as cotton, they can be fitted or flowing, long or short, just be sure it's designed to compliment the contemporary dancer's dynamic movement. Perfect for the modern dance devotee! This tutu says, "I'm a bold, fearless individual, not afraid to challenge the norm and make a statement, even with a hint of a ballerina vibe." **My Go-To Tutu Combinations:** I always get the question – what to wear with my tutu? Now I'm not just a tutu devotee, but a self-proclaimed Fashionista (although some say it’s more FashionistA – see what I did there?!), so this one’s easy! Here are some fab combinations to get your look popping: * **Black Tights and Leather Jacket:** For a contemporary edgy feel, team up that classical "Paquita" tutu with a tight pair of black tights and a rock ‘n roll leather jacket. Toss on some platform boots and some dramatic makeup and be ready for an urban, streetwise, ballerina vibe. Don't be afraid to rock that unexpected blend of softness and edge. * **Fringe Boots & A Crop Top:** Love that 70s throwback style? A contemporary "leotard style tutu" (like something we’d see in “Giselle”) paired with some fringe boots and a crop top with just the right touch of sparkle! The 70s are alive and well and they are embracing the tutu, who’d have thought?! * **Sweater and Ballerina Flats:** When the temperature starts to dip, I love to mix in some warm textures! A fluffy mohair sweater tucked into a simple “La Sylphide” tutu – just the right combo of elegant and cozy. You’ll feel feminine and fabulously prepared for the Australian winter – even in Mount Dandenong where those evenings can be quite chilly! So there you have it, fellow tutu lovers! The Tutu Queen is out! Time to rock your favourite tutu with confidence. Remember, the right tutu can transform any outfit into a fashion statement. Now, get out there and show the world how beautiful you are. It's Tutu Tuesday – make it a fab one!
