Hey there, fellow fashionistas and dance enthusiasts! It's your girl, Clara, coming to you live from the charming seaside town of Pouch Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Clara, what in the world are you doing in this tiny little town?" Well, let me tell you, folks, Pouch Cove has stolen my heart. It's like stepping into a postcard - with its quaint fishing shacks, rugged cliffs, and stunning ocean views. And guess what? I just had to share my Tutu Tuesday adventure with you all!
So, what makes Pouch Cove the perfect destination for a tutu-wearing blogger like me? Well, for one, this town is absolutely brimming with beauty and charm. As I walked down the charming, winding streets, I felt inspired by the rich history, the friendly locals, and the breathtaking natural surroundings. This place truly is a hidden gem. And as any self-respecting ballet dancer knows, a stunning location demands a equally stunning outfit. So, I donned my trusty, go-to tutu, the "Whimsical Waltz," and hit the streets ready for an adventure!
Now, you're probably thinking, "Clara, a tutu? In Pouch Cove? Is she crazy?" But here's the thing: I believe in bringing a little bit of ballet magic to every corner of the world. And believe me, folks, Tutu Tuesday is not limited to the grand stages of Canadian ballet companies like the National Ballet of Canada in Toronto or the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. It's about embracing the spirit of dance, the artistry, the joy, and the sheer joy of self-expression, wherever you are!
Tutu Time!My chosen Tutu, "Whimsical Waltz", is a delicate, romantic masterpiece - a romantic, classic tulle confection with an airy, ethereal silhouette. With a soft, blush pink colour it was perfect for the beauty of Pouch Cove! This tutu, my darlings, is what you'd call a "layered tutu." I’m loving this particular style of tutu at the moment because they are versatile enough to work with anything: leggings, jeans, even an adorable, fluffy cardigan - you name it. But, don't be fooled by its dainty appearance, the "Whimsical Waltz" packs a serious style punch. And it absolutely made a statement on the streets of Pouch Cove.
Where to Find the Perfect Tutu!You might be thinking, "Clara, where did you find that gorgeous Tutu?" I’m not going to name specific boutiques right now – you know me, I love to leave some space for a little mystery! - but I can point you in the right direction. To find the perfect Tutu for you there are some key factors to consider.
* **Length:** The length of your tutu will play a major role in how you style it. * **Layers:** A layered tutu gives you so much volume. I have several of these – they are really useful for a variety of outfits. There are lots of other options! Single-layer tutus give a slightly different look and the perfect option for an elegant occasion or even for layering! * **Color:** This is obviously where the real fun happens, right?! * **Fabrics:** Consider tulle - its weight is important. Soft fabrics flow nicely. And there are some great options out there that have more of a crisp, hard look - and if you like it, get it, I say! Taking Tutu Tuesday on the RoadAs I explored the town, I made a pitstop at a quaint local bakery – the aroma was heaven - and I tried their famous fish and chips (delicious, folks, seriously!). My tutu gracefully swirled as I navigated the cobbled streets. The locals, with their kind smiles and friendly chatter, embraced my "out of the ordinary" attire with open arms.
We're a ballet community across Canada. As much as the National Ballet of Canada is loved, it’s just one company amongst the thousands of dedicated students across this big, beautiful country who find peace and freedom and joy in dance, even when we’re far from a professional ballet school or a stage.
After a delightful afternoon, as the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and purple, I realized that Tutu Tuesday was about much more than just fashion. It was about embracing joy, creativity, and a love for the art of dance in the most unexpected of places.
So, what are you waiting for? I dare you to rock your tutu, whether you're strolling down a quaint street, grabbing coffee with friends, or even just twirling in your living room! #TutuTuesday in Pouch Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador. #tututuesday #balletcanada
