Our tutu adventure kicked off at the Wabush Historical Society, where we explored the captivating history of the town and admired its strong community spirit. You can't have a Tutu Tuesday in Wabush without acknowledging the town's unique heritage. There’s a certain sense of raw beauty here.

Their lattes were especially delightful and the perfect accompaniment to a twirl-worthy afternoon. Let's be real, every great tutu adventure needs a caffeine boost! Then, we danced our way to Wabush Lake, where the mesmerizing serenity of the icy blue waters simply captivated us. With a picturesque backdrop, it was impossible to resist capturing a few Insta-worthy snaps of our tutu ensemble against the tranquil landscapes.

Tutu Trends in Wabush: - *Black Swans and Midnight Blues:* This classic combo never disappoints! There’s something so chic and dramatic about a black tutu. I love the juxtaposition of the bold, almost intimidating blackness against the delicate fluidity of the tulle fabric. - *Whimsical Whites and Ballet Blues:* These lighter colours brought a sweet and ethereal touch to the Wabush landscape. It’s the ultimate dreamy combination. There were several ladies rocking the soft pastel blues with delicate detailing that resembled tiny flower petals on the tulle, I even saw one grandma sporting a beautiful white tulle with dainty little stars. Absolutely charming! - *Bold and Beautiful Bright Colors:* A few brave souls brought a splash of boldness with brightly colored tutus! From electric blues, shimmering pinks, to emerald greens – these tutu designs were an ode to celebrating self-expression and pushing the boundaries of tutu fashion! Wabush’s scenery felt alive!
