Tutu Tuesday in New Richmond, Quebec: A Tutu Tale of Canadian Style #tututuesday Bonjour from New Richmond, Quebec! This little town nestled along the St. Lawrence River may be best known for its stunning natural beauty, but today, Iā€™m here to tell you it's also a hotbed for Tutu Tuesday vibes. As a proud Canadian ballet dancer, I find it's practically a civic duty to wear a tutu whenever possible - and what better day for it than a sunny, bright Tuesday, right? So, let's get down to the tutu business! Today, I'm rocking a gorgeous, flowing **romantic tutu** in the most delicate shade of pastel pink. You guys, itā€™s just magical! The delicate layers of tulle are so dreamy and ethereal, and they swirl so beautifully as I twirl my way through the cobbled streets of this charming town. And you know what they say: you can't wear a romantic tutu and not feel fabulous. My journey to New Richmond has been inspired by the amazing dance scene flourishing across Canada. From Vancouverā€™s diverse arts hub to Montreal's electrifying contemporary movement, Canada is home to an inspiring array of ballet talent. But here in New Richmond, the ballet love shines a little brighter. You know why? This community truly embraces its artistic soul. I can feel it, even as I stroll along the quiet waterfront paths. I was absolutely floored when I discovered that New Richmond hosts an annual ballet festival that draws dancers from all across the province. Honestly, how cool is that? It was after seeing their adorable ā€œLittle Tutuā€ workshop (teaching the tiny tots the joys of twirling!), that I realized I had to take part in Tutu Tuesday. The kids here are so full of passion and joy - the embodiment of the sheer magic of dance! I truly believe the world needs more joy. For today's tutu style, I paired my whimsical pink tutu with a fitted ivory sweater - an ode to classic Canadian winter elegance - and chunky white sneakers. Yes, I know, the ballet gods are likely shaking their heads. But my girls, it's a #tututuesday situation, and a girl gotta stay comfy! My love affair with tutus has been blossoming ever since my first ballet class as a little girl. You know that feeling, right? The freedom and grace of a twirl? It's simply intoxicating! That's exactly what sparked my #tututuesday movement. And today, with the picturesque backdrop of New Richmondā€™s riverfront, it just feels like my ballerina spirit has really bloomed! Now, you've heard the tutu tale, so let's break down what truly makes this Tutu Tuesday so special: * **Tutus of every shade** ā€“ From the brightest pinks to the deepest blues, you can't help but be inspired by the vibrant tutu displays on the streets of New Richmond today. Seriously, even the cafĆ© is serving tutu-shaped cookies, and there's a tutu-inspired painting on display in the town square! * **Fashion Inspiration** ā€“ I'm all about blending a love for fashion with my dance roots, and here, that feels effortless. And who better to give us some #tututuesday outfit inspiration than the talented students from the local ballet academy? I'm so impressed by their creativity ā€“ and a little jealous, too! Theyā€™ve nailed those fierce and confident tutu looks that are absolutely worthy of being Instagrammed! * **A true celebration** ā€“ In a small town, everyone seems to have a special reason for rocking a tutu, and thereā€™s an undeniable warmth to the shared sense of excitement about the day. The local ballet troupe is leading the celebration with a series of pop-up performances throughout the town square, with kids getting in on the action, twirling and leaping alongside the seasoned dancers! So, I say this: let's embrace our inner tutu queen wherever we are, on whatever day it may be! Letā€™s share a moment of lightheartedness, joy, and creativity with the world.
