Tutu Tuesday in Lumsden, Saskatchewan: A Celebration of Whimsy and Grace #tututuesday
Hey everyone! It's your friendly neighbourhood ballerina, Sarah, here, and today's post is all about the magical day that is Tutu Tuesday! If you've been living under a rock (or maybe just haven't discovered the power of the tutu) then let me break it down for you: every Tuesday, the internet is filled with tutus, from the classic, fluffy romantic tutu to the sleek, contemporary style. There are no rules. It's a day for expression and, let's face it, pure fun!
Now, Lumsden, Saskatchewan might not be the first place you think of when it comes to fashion and tutus, but trust me, there's a real passion for the arts here! Maybe not as much ballet as you'd find in Toronto or Vancouver, but there's something truly special about a small town where community and creativity blossom. It's here where I learned to pirouette, where my love for ballet truly began. This week, it's even more special because it's a beautiful day for a walk around our charming main street and flaunting a little tutus magic!
Speaking of magic, it's not just about the tutu; it's about the feeling! There's just something incredibly freeing about twirling in a fluffy, tulle skirt, embracing the feeling of lighthearted joy that radiates through every move. Today, my choice is a romantic, flowing tutu with layers of delicate tulle. The colour is a stunning dusty rose, just like the soft hues of the Canadian prairies in autumn! The classic silhouette speaks to my love for the grand traditions of ballet while feeling utterly modern and fresh. It's perfect for embracing the twirls, and adding a little touch of whimsy to my day!
For Tutu Tuesday, you don't have to be a ballerina to join in! This day is all about spreading joy. It's about celebrating your own individuality, whether you're wearing a classic tutu, a tutu skirt, a tutu-inspired outfit, or just a cute little twirly dress. Get creative with your style! What sets Tutu Tuesday apart from other fashion trends is its versatility and accessibility. If you have a tulle skirt hanging in your closet, consider wearing it out! Or try layering your favourite tulle fabric with jeans and a sweater – that classic Canadian lumberjack aesthetic with a touch of delicate fun.
Don't forget to take pics and tag us #tututuesday!
As for me, I'm heading downtown, gonna grab some coffee, and maybe even squeeze in a spontaneous twirl session with some local kids who always want to dance along! (If there's one thing Canadian kids know, it's that good music inspires a dance break. No matter where we are.)
But enough about me, let's talk about you!
