Tutu Tuesday in Cantley, Quebec: A Celebration of Ballet and Style #tututuesday Okay, so you might be thinking, "Tutus in the fall? What’s going on here?" But trust me, it’s not as out of place as you might think! 🍂 Every Tuesday, I try to do something a little different. I take risks and challenge myself. Today, my challenge is to prove that even though fall is officially here (Pumpkin Spice lattes everywhere!), the ballerina inside me still needs a tutu moment. And with the breathtaking foliage in Cantley, Quebec, providing the perfect backdrop, how could I resist? 🍁 There’s something about a tutu, it's a magical piece of clothing that truly elevates any look! Today's outfit has a decidedly autumnal vibe – think "forest fairy" – and is about combining those essential elements: whimsy, elegance, and just a hint of badassery. I chose a classic, **short-waisted Romantic tutu** with layers of delicate tulle. To ground it and give it that edgy, real-world spin, I paired it with a warm, vintage knit sweater in a rich burgundy hue and some cozy brown leather ankle boots. The way I see it, every woman should have a go-to tutu. Whether it’s a **short and whimsical Romantic**, a **graceful and airy classic** or something bolder like a **layered tutu skirt**, these versatile pieces of fashion history will elevate any outfit. But let's talk a little about my current faves: - The Romantic tutu: This classic silhouette was born in the 1830s during the Romantic era in ballet and still defines elegance in a tutu. The shorter-length gives off a vibe of playful freedom and grace. It's the tutu to choose when you want to channel a soft, ethereal vibe but still exude confidence and style. - The Classical tutu: You know that long, dramatic skirt, often used in full-length ballets and those majestic Swan Lake routines? Yeah, that's a classic! If you want to add an air of theatrical drama and sophistication, this is the go-to option. This style is more about graceful fluidity than airy movement. It will add some serious elegant-factor to your wardrobe! You might be thinking, "How does one rock a tutu without being mistaken for a ballet student on the way to rehearsal?" There’s a whole world of ways! Today's #tututuesday outfit combines my ballerina spirit with fall's effortless, laid-back charm. I paired a Romantic tutu with a classic sweater and boots to bring out its hidden practicality. This combination adds a playful twist to the typical cozy sweaters and tights combo. But what about accessories? Accessorize like your life depends on it. I chose delicate gold jewellery - because sparkle is always in style. My necklace, a tiny gold ballet slipper pendant, whispers to anyone watching what it is all about - my passion for dance! My makeup is natural with soft, subtle eye shadow. I don’t want my face to overshadow the main attraction, the tutu, after all. I am feeling strong and beautiful, ready to show the world what #tututuesday in Cantley, Quebec, is all about. 🍁 I invite you to join me – let’s spread the joy, let's embrace our love for fashion and embrace our individuality, no matter where life takes us, and in what attire.
