Tutu Tuesday in Mayerthorpe, Alberta: A Fashionable Canadian Ballet Dancer's Take on #tututuesday
It’s #tututuesday, and let’s face it, even in little ol' Mayerthorpe, Alberta, we can always find an excuse to celebrate the tutu! As a ballet dancer with a penchant for fashion, I'm always on the lookout for fun ways to incorporate the classic dancewear into my everyday style.
This Tuesday, I'm rocking a classic **romantic tutu**, that floaty, layered confection of tulle, perfect for a twirl or two even on a busy day. Now, don't get me wrong, Mayerthorpe may be a small town, but we've got style, just ask the local dance school! A good ballet studio knows the importance of having a great tutu selection – after all, there's no feeling quite like wearing one and knowing that you’re carrying the history and elegance of ballet on your shoulders.
This #tututuesday, I want to shine a light on how you can incorporate this quintessential piece of ballet into your wardrobe – from a sophisticated office look to a weekend getaway, there are plenty of ways to rock the tutu.
* **Tutu for a Casual Weekend Look:** * I love the versatility of a classic **layered tulle skirt**. It's not only incredibly comfortable, but also incredibly flattering. Throw on your favourite jeans or leggings and a plain tee, and let the tutu add a whimsical touch to your look. * **Tutu for the Office:** * Let's get this straight – we’re not talking about the stereotypical pink ballerina tutu here! Try layering a tulle skirt over a classic business suit for an unexpected touch. Or even opt for a tulle midi skirt, paired with a blouse and blazer – it’s the perfect way to infuse a touch of romance into your professional wardrobe. * **Tutu for a Night Out:** * You can definitely dress a tutu up for a night on the town. Look for a dramatic tulle skirt in a darker hue, or one adorned with embellishments like sequins or feathers. Add some stilettos and a clutch and you’re ready to hit the dance floor (or your local watering hole). * **Tutu for a Wedding:** * Don't dismiss the tutu as a wedding-day option! A classic **layered tulle skirt** paired with a lace top is incredibly chic and effortlessly elegant. It's the perfect alternative to the classic ball gown and adds a touch of playful whimsy to any celebration. * **Tutu for Everyday Wear:** * There’s nothing quite like adding a touch of tulle to an otherwise ordinary outfit. Embrace the spirit of the tutu. A simple, soft **tulle scarf** will bring a pop of fun to any casual outfit.
