Tutu Tuesday in Coldstream, British Columbia #tututuesday

Hey, fashion-forward friends! It’s your girl, Chloe, back at it again with another #tututuesday post. The crisp mountain air is settling in here in Coldstream, British Columbia, but the heat of my love for tutus burns hotter than ever. This week, I'm taking a break from the rigorous routines and elegant movements of ballet to explore the magical world of tutu style. Because honestly, who says you need a stage to rock a tutu?

Before we dive into the tutu trends sweeping Coldstream, let's rewind a little. As a professional ballet dancer in Canada, I've worn my fair share of tutus - from the classic romantic tulle of the "Giselle" to the structured power of the "Swan Lake" white swan tutu. These beauties have become ingrained in the fabric of ballet history, defining eras and inspiring countless artistic expressions.

But tutu-loving peeps, I'm here to tell you, tutus are not just for the stage! They are a versatile garment ready to sashay into any corner of your wardrobe.

Taking Tutu Tuesday to the Streets

Let's talk trends! The "athleisure" look is so 2020 - this season it's all about "Tuteleisure" (don’t ask me, it's just happening!). Imagine this: you're strolling through Coldstream's bustling farmers market, picking out local peaches. Instead of jeans, you're rocking a soft tulle tutu layered over a cozy sweater and sneakers. BAM - style redefined. This trend is all about juxtaposing delicate elegance with casual comfort, perfect for that "I just rolled out of bed looking amazing" vibe.

Then there’s the **"Tutu Pop"** movement. Imagine pairing a bright pink tulle tutu with a graphic tee and a denim jacket for a playful, almost rebellious look. This is about letting your personality shine, breaking the mould, and embracing your inner ballerina.

For a more classic touch, you can't go wrong with the **"Romantic Tutu"**. A tutu with a delicate flow, perhaps layered over a slip dress or even a simple t-shirt and jeans. Think dreamy summer evenings on the lakeside, sipping on a craft beer, and letting the light breeze play with the tulle.
