\"\"<\/p>\n

Every little girl, at one point or another, has dreamt of being a prima ballerina. She would go to bed at night in her little tutu, unwilling and a bit stubborn when her mother told her that it would get wrinkled. Dreams of pirouettes and perfect buns, pretty pointe shoes and the Nutcracker would appear each night. A waltz would be played ever so gently by the pianist in the orchestra pit as she would be whisked away, on her toes, of course, by a handsome dancer.<\/p>\n

And she would wake up in that tiny tutu, a bit frumpled, but still much loved. Years later she may have forgotten the dreams, as most girls do, and replace it with a black pencil skirt or a pair of J Brand skinnies. Yet the photographs from recitals and open houses at the studio would always be with her.<\/p>\n

So it would be safe to assume and to conclude that ballet itself could be considered the epitome of all things feminine. Almost every little girl idolized the elegance a ballerina possessed, and the endless layers of pink tulle and satin ribbons she could wear. Because preparing for her first recital was when a girl fell in love with makeup: the lipstick, the blush, the colorful eyeshadows. Ballet is where it all began.<\/p>\n

At least for me it did. Ballet had been my life when I was oh, three or four, and onwards until my mother refused to let me transition to point, fearing for my feet’s state of health. And so, in all my pre-teen headstrong angst, I quit altogether. It’s the one thing I truly regret, but have come to accept; at least dance is still a part of my life. I do believe rather strongly that it was at my first ballet class where I truly fell in love with the elegant, streamlined silhouettes. I think it has influenced my taste and personal style; what else could possibly explain my obsession for tights and bows, and a color palette of black, white, pink, and neutrals? I blame it on the black leotard and soft pink tights. With great reason, too.<\/p>\n

And fashion had taken upon itself to draw inspiration from the very icon of femininity into everyday wear. Ballet flats emulate the comfort of the slippers worn; cardigans were much like the fitted wraps worn during the colder months in the studio; tights, well, obviously; stretchy, jersey fabrics from the soft leotards; etc. The list goes on and on. Sometimes the influence of ballet would be quite obvious (Michael Kors Spring 07 – it was actually this collection that made me fall in love with Michael Kors!); sometimes it would be an implicit hint, hidden amongst trends.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite collections, by Michael Kors, oh way back then. You really can see that simplicity and femininity have been made one seamlessly (both\u00a0figuratively\u00a0and literally). The collection is gorgeous, proof that a limited color palette still offers a myriad of varieties. I love the soft knits; how it hangs loosely, yet drapes about a woman’s best features. The chiffon is breathtaking: light, ethereal, how a woman and a dancer should feel. The layers were done in a languid, light manner; I can picture a ballerina changing quickly out of her leotard and tights into a simple, hassle (and wrinkle!) free outfit. She would run out, in little boots or flats and a thick scarf and a favorite bag draped loosely over her shoulder, leaving her perfect bun in place. Perhaps she would throw on her all-purpose cardigan. I’ve always loved that particular look; clean, sophisticated,\u00a0minimalist, with tiny details in the ribbon or rhinestone. Everything is soft, even the makeup: there, but rather natural. Please do excuse my rather inept collages; I’ve managed to put together my favorite looks (which happened to be a great majority of the entire show!)<\/p>\n

Emulating this look is rather easy; look for soft knits, in a neutral or beige color. Avoid bulkiness to channel that streamlined silhouette. A loose, off the shoulder top paired with a flowy skirt, cinched at the waist and worn with a pair of flats would work perfectly. Butterfly sleeved tops (my absolute favorite!) work impeccably; let one side fall off your shoulder for that demurely sexy yet utterly classy feel. Floor length maxidresses, in jersey or chiffon, achieve that elongating and ethereal quality. Pull your hair back in a neat chignon – but little bits of loose ends are allowed, after all, ballerinas work quite hard dancing away in the studio. Makeup should be very neutral and almost natural; healthy skin is a must, so a bit of bronzer should be used after applying liquid foundation. Nude lips, in a semi-matte shine, and smudged brown liner (with a touch of beige shadow, the universal shade) would finish the ensemble.<\/p>\n

In short, it explains my obsession with this tutu-inspired dress<\/a> from Etsy. Impractical, yes. But I would overjoyed to own this & find the perfect occasion to wear this! It’s so gorgeous; the exposed back with criss crosses is utterly sexy with a touch of sweetness by way of the little flowers.<\/div>\n
