Tutu Tuesday in Terrace, British Columbia: #tututuesday Okay, so it's a little chilly for a ballet class out in Terrace, but that doesn't mean we can't embrace our inner prima ballerinas! I'm talking about #tututuesday, my fellow Canadians. This is a day for all things tutus. We're channeling our inner prima ballerinas, whether we're hitting the barre or just strutting our stuff downtown. It's about finding the perfect tutu to match your personality – and Terrace has the most amazing boutiques that cater to every fashion sense! There's the classic **romantic tutu**, the quintessential airy, delicate confection in soft tulle, often finished with a satin ribbon. These were designed for dancers performing classical ballet and often featured in works like "Sleeping Beauty." Then there's the **modern tutu** designed to make movement less restrictive for a more modern contemporary style like the popular and versatile "Swan Lake." These usually incorporate stretchy mesh fabrics and more modern designs that are still visually appealing and have a more whimsical flair. Let's Talk Tutus in Terrace, BC! Now, if you’re looking for inspiration in Terrace, head to the shops on Lakelse Ave., that’s where you'll find a plethora of beautiful ballet stores and fabulous boutiques – some carrying the most beautiful tutus, for both performance and casual wear. I’m starting off my day by getting a cup of coffee and grabbing the latest fashion magazine – maybe a copy of Flare, because fashion magazines always feature the best inspiration. Oh, and while we're talking about #tututuesday in Terrace, there's also a super cute little bakery I'm thinking about trying later, “Sugar and Spice,” has these heavenly macarons and croissants. I heard they even serve champagne! Sounds like a fab #tututuesday plan! I know the rest of you Terranians (a name I made up! Do they have a cool name for people in Terrace? I must check) are rocking the tutu scene. My favorite Instagram fashionista, @DanceTerrace posted a fab shot of herself with her little princess in matching tutus in the historic heart of Terrace. They looked like they were having a ball! Talk about #tututuesday inspiration! Terrace Is for Tutus!

This city is embracing that whimsical "ballerina on a Tuesday" vibe.

For a truly creative #tututuesday vibe, grab a few layers and throw them on top of your tutu. That could be a fitted tee with some graphic art or maybe even a band tee for a grungier aesthetic!

You could even combine your favorite tutu with a casual chic look – think fitted jeans or leggings – I even have this friend who rocked a black tutu and leather jacket, and trust me – it worked!
