Not Exactly Your Prima Ballerina



Black Tutu eBay | Plaid Blazer Thrifted | Tank Evans | Shoes BFT | Bag Dorothy Perkins

HELLO everyone! How are you all doing!? I feel like I've awakened from the dead or something, it's been way to long since I've posted anything. As you can tell from the aimless power cord in the background, I'm scrambling to work out the lighting and location of my outfit photos. Things have been hectic and I've been left without a place to take photos or a person to take them for me... #LifeStoryOfABlogger!

I've always wanted a tutu. I'm pretty sure it stems back to my childhood days of dress up, but it was something I was determined to find, and make work for my body type. I'd been eying the popular petticoat from American Apparel for months, but it just didn't fit how I'd like it too. I also couldn't justify spending $80 on a skirt I would wear 3 or 4 times. So I hopped on over to eBay and found this lovely black layered tutu (in plus sizes!) and thought I'd give it a shot. For $18, I was willing to take the risk of it being a disaster!
