Tutu Tuesday in Moosomin, Saskatchewan #tututuesday
Hey everyone! It's your favourite Canadian ballet dancer and blogger, here to bring you some fabulous #tututuesday inspiration from the heart of Saskatchewan – Moosomin, to be exact. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Moosomin? Seriously?". But trust me, this small town has big fashion potential, and when it comes to tutus, well, let's just say we're stepping outside the box and onto the runway (or should I say, the prairie?)!
First things first, I need to give a shout-out to the amazing dance community in Moosomin. It's incredible to see such passion and dedication to ballet here, even in a smaller town. It just goes to show, you don't need to be in a big city to express yourself through the art of dance! Speaking of expression, today's #tututuesday theme is all about bringing those vibrant prairie colours and textures into our tutus, so buckle up, it's gonna be a wild ride!
A Field of Dreams: Saskatchewan Tutus
When I think of Saskatchewan, I think of fields of gold, swaying fields of wheat, and the deep blue of a Saskatchewan sky after a summer thunderstorm. Now, I'm not saying we need to go full wheat-sheaf-and-farm-themed on our tutus, but incorporating those colours and textures in subtle ways is just *chef's kiss* perfection! Imagine a classic white tutu, but instead of white, it's the warm golden yellow of Saskatchewan wheat, or a navy blue tutu, the deep colour of a summer storm. You could even add a touch of the deep red of the prairie sunsets!
Prairie Chic: Tutu Style Ideas
- Go for a Romantic, Ruffled Skirt: A full-bodied tutu with layers and layers of tulle – imagine a prairie wildflower in full bloom!
- Try a Ballerina-Inspired Wrap Dress: A flowing tutu-like skirt with a stretchy top that makes a perfect statement! It's practical enough for daily errands, but still glamorous enough to catch attention at a dinner party.
- Experiment with Color Blocking: Combining bright prairie blues with sunlit golds for a modern and dynamic look that pops on the prairie. Think blue bodice and gold tulle. Or reverse the colours!
- Play with Prints: This might sound a little wild, but hear me out: what about incorporating wheat stalks, prairie skies, and wildflowers into the print? It’s bold and totally unexpected. If you’re looking for a simpler approach, go for a floral print with an airy tulle, the colour of Saskatchewan wildflowers.
From Ballet to Brunch: Your Prairie Tutu Guide
No matter where you are in Saskatchewan, from Moose Jaw to Meadow Lake, we can make #tututuesday a celebration of our Canadian prairie! Now let’s get real - most of us probably aren’t rocking full tutus at brunch (though it would definitely be an amazing sight). Here’s how to translate this prairie chic inspiration into something more everyday:
- Add a little tulle: Think a fluffy skirt with layers of tulle. Think of the textures and layers as representing those beautiful wild prairie grasses.
- Go for a loose, flowing silhouette: Just like those fields of golden wheat blowing in the wind. Imagine flowing maxi-dresses in those earthy shades. Think pale golds, burnt umbers, and sunset hues!
- Accessorize with your favourite prairie motifs: Find some statement jewelry inspired by Saskatchewan wildflower blooms. They're everywhere - sunflowers, wild roses, and crocuses in every colour of the rainbow!
- Keep the makeup natural: Don’t overwhelm your look, just enhance your natural beauty! Remember those Saskatchewan prairie sunsets!
