Tutu Tuesday in Monto, Queensland: A Ballet-Inspired Fashion Adventure! #tututuesday

Hey gorgeous peeps! It's your fave Aussie ballet blogger, Chloe, here, and I'm SO excited to share my recent #tututuesday adventures from the charming town of Monto in Queensland! This place is a hidden gem, with stunning scenery, friendly faces, and, you guessed it, an abundance of opportunities for a fabulous tutu-fied fashion moment! 😄

Let me tell you, folks, Tutu Tuesday is NO joke. Every week, the whole town transforms into a whirlwind of tulle, sparkles, and all things tutu-tastic! I’m talking frothy classical tutus, the dramatic ones like in Swan Lake, romantic and soft romantic tutus and even some whimsical modern creations perfect for those contemporary ballet inspired looks. Whether it's a full-on ballerina costume or just a dash of tutu flair, it’s all about celebrating our love for ballet in Australia!

My day began with a leisurely stroll through the town square, which was bursting with locals in their finest tutu-inspired outfits! I was simply amazed at the creativity on display. From grandmas in elegant tutus over jeans and blouses to young lads rocking sparkly tutus with their skateboards – it was an absolute spectacle!

One of my favourite highlights was definitely the "Tutu Tea Party" at the local cafe. Imagine: dainty teacups, delicious scones, and all our guests decked out in fabulous tutu outfits! You've never seen such a perfectly whimsical tea party! We chatted, shared stories, and laughed together, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Later, I decided to try my hand at a little DIY tutu creation! You won't believe what I found: a charming fabric shop nestled in a side street. After sifting through mountains of lace, ribbon, and shimmering tulle, I emerged with all the makings for a show-stopping "Tutu-fied Cholo" masterpiece! (You know I gotta rep my fave dancer – Cholo!)

And of course, no Monto #tututuesday is complete without a visit to the local ballet studio. I was lucky enough to witness an inspiring ballet class filled with young dancers who, believe me, have all the right moves and serious talent. It's so rewarding to see ballet thriving in Australia and Monto really embraces it with open arms!

Now, let's get to the real meat of the matter, the fashion inspiration! Here are my absolute fave #tututuesday looks from my trip:

  • **Classic Romantic Tutu + denim jacket + cowboy boots:** This was my go-to for a fun, casual look with a touch of elegance!
  • **Rainbow Tutu + colourful tights + comfy flats:** A whimsical, playful take on Tutu Tuesday perfect for exploring the town and indulging in a sweet treat!
  • **Modern tutu (think structured, minimalist lines) + sleek jumpsuit + statement earrings:** A modern and stylish twist for the fashion-forward Tutu Tuesday participant.
  • **Black Tulle Tutu + flowy top + bold lipstick:** Dramatic and chic for a night out on the town.

From the hilarious "Tutu-rific" costume competition to the soulful ballet performance at the community hall, #tututuesday in Monto, Queensland, was an absolute riot. It’s definitely a must-do for any ballet-lover in Australia and even for those who just want a fun excuse to dance, laugh, and let their inner tulle queen shine!
