Tutu Tuesday in Mundijong, Western Australia: #tututuesday
G'day, darlings! It's Tutu Tuesday here in Mundijong, Western Australia, and I'm absolutely buzzing with excitement. For those of you who haven't joined the Tutu Tuesday movement, let me explain. It's a day to celebrate all things tulle, and, let's face it, it's a celebration worth having! We're talking about the iconic garment of dance, a symbol of grace and artistry that sparks a smile in the heart of every ballet enthusiast (and even those who aren't, if you ask me!).
Today, I decided to channel my inner prima ballerina, and guess what? I actually feel like one. It's not about the skill, honey, it's about the feeling! Now, I know what you might be thinking – "Tutu Tuesday in Mundijong? Are you kidding?" Believe me, darl, you don't have to be at the Royal Opera House to appreciate a good tutu!
For those of you not familiar with Mundijong, it's a gorgeous little town just a stone's throw from Perth. It's a haven for nature lovers, and, if you’re lucky enough to catch the cherry blossoms in springtime, you'll feel like you've stepped into a fairytale. Honestly, it's the perfect place to unleash your inner ballerina.
Today, I'm wearing a classic, Romantic-era tutu, you know, the fluffy ones with multiple layers of tulle? Just picture a fluffy, marshmallow cloud on your bottom half. They are so incredibly graceful and twirly, you can't help but feel like you're gliding on air! This style of tutu was incredibly popular during the Romantic era in ballet. If you're looking to achieve the epitome of classical ballet chic, I can’t recommend this style enough.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: tutus can get pretty expensive, right? Well, darl, let me share a little secret – I found this absolute beauty in a vintage shop for a fraction of the price. Don't get me wrong, those custom-made tutus from a specialist dance store are amazing, but if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, you can totally score a winner at your local thrift stores.
