How to... dance like a ballerina!





















Or at least dress like one. I've always loved the clothes that ballerinas wear to dance, especially the shoes. I, of course, cannot dance ballet; nor have I ever taken lessons in my life. But! I like to pretend to be a ballerina because I never really got over that fantasy as a little girl and I so wish I could look that graceful while doing something so painful. An awesome place to find really cheap ballet supplies is dance4less.com, but if you don't want to go as far as wearing real ballet slippers and costumes, there are many look-alikes out there. Go to Etsy.com and search The Generation under sellers. This Etsy shop sells organic ballet flats for a price tag much smaller than other organic flat sellers. When you think of ballerina clothes you might think of tutus, and yes they do wear tutus, but there are some beautiful- and wearable- tutu-esque skirts in the world. Ballerinas also wear legwarmers and wrap sweaters. When I think of ballet I think of that beautiful pale pink that is so typical of ballet shoes and everything else associated with ballet! Ballet-inspired everyday style clothes come in a variety of colors now but work best in romantic colors such as pale pink, nude, burgundy, cream, and black. Love,
Belle

I rode my horse to a tea party while i attempted to dance ballet...










...awed and amazed the onlookers stared as I handed the reins to the valet. Lovely little limerick right off the top of my head. Hope you loved it. Okydokey. So, here is today's outfit. I wore my riding boots again with my ballet-teaparty shirt, olive legging-pants, green cardi, multicolored scarf, and little key earrings that remind me of steampunk. I look weird because I was eating licorice while my mom tried to take pictures of me.
I also included Street style! Well, people at my school with cute clothes (which are- believe me- few and far in between). My friends Anna and Shannon looked adorable, so I shot them! With a camera... And Sara from Harry Potter club and Sam- our fearless leader and Head Mistress of the Harry Potter club are also included! The blonds are my friends and the brunettes are fellow Hogwarts students. They're so cute. Anyhoo... Love,
Belle
