Saint John, you're truly a gem! I was completely smitten with the colourful houses lining the streets, the glistening waterfront, and the majestic Reversing Falls, which were so breathtaking that I could almost hear a grand ballet score playing in the background.
Okay, back to the tutus. Today, I decided to channel my inner romantic ballerina with a delicate, flowing tulle skirt tutu. This style really let me embrace the gentle breeze and twirl with abandon. It was perfect for showcasing the ethereal beauty of the cityscape, with the tutu adding a soft and airy element to my outfit. And, speaking of twirling, let's talk about the incredible feeling of dancing down the cobblestone streets of Saint John. I may have even accidentally gotten a few surprised stares and smiles from locals as they went about their day. Hey, who doesn't love a little spontaneous ballet magic in their routine?
As I explored the heart of Saint John, I found myself drawn to a lovely little boutique filled with handcrafted treasures. And wouldn't you know it, they also carried a delightful array of tutu-like garments! I snagged the most darling velvet skirt, adorned with sequins, and felt a burst of joy imagining how beautifully it would pair with my current tutu style. Imagine a black velvet tutu layered on top of the delicate tulle skirt I was wearing earlier! This, my friends, is where I start planning my next tutu adventure!
Speaking of the future, my tutu plans definitely include returning to Saint John soon! And next time, I want to experiment with a shorter tutu style, maybe one with some playful ruffles or intricate detailing. For the fall, a velvet tutu with a hint of shimmer and a classic black turtleneck sweater would look amazing against the vibrant fall colours! Can't wait to embrace the versatility of tutus and how they seamlessly blend into my everyday outfits.
This little trip reminds me that even though I am a professional ballet dancer, exploring the city through a "tutu-toned lens" rekindled a joy I thought was reserved for the stage. And who says ballet in Canada is only limited to studios? The whole country is our stage!
My #tututuesday adventure in Saint John was nothing short of magical, and I encourage you all to embrace your inner ballerina, no matter where you are.
