I have a really strange fascination with tulle and big poofy skirts like this. The strange part of this fascination is that it didn’t start when I was a young un and watching Angelina Ballerina … it started when I was about 14! What I like best about this tulle skirt is that its layered instead of just flouncing out at one length. This means that it is a lot of fun to twirl in to make for some great action shots.
I know I’ve been referring to it as a skirt but I’ll let you in a sneaky secret: the tulle skirt is actually my prom dress from year 10! I’m happy to say its not something i would cringe at all these years later but it makes me sad that I never wear it which is why I popped it on, Christmas day. Then I decided to dress it down with a plaid shirt cinched at the waist, popped at the collar and rolled at the arms so I could give my outfit some silhouette. To finish off the ballet vibes, I went with a big poof on my head and some bow heels that shouldn’t be leaped around in!
Love it! I am a sucker for those tulle skirts too.. I don’t know about you but I am constantly spinning to see my tulle skirt flare out haha xx

After seeing this yesterday, I went out shopping to find me one of these tulle skirts, but to no avail :c Also, I absolutely love the shoes and the top! Anyway, thanks for inspiring many of my fashion decisions when I go out shopping; it has made me a lot more open to new styles and now I don’t have enough clothes hangers for all my new outfits.

Hi!
I absolutely share your fascination!!! ❤ I love tulle! ❤
And with me it only started at the age of 18, which was a bit weird, but I can't help it!
I actually just bought one like yours a week ago and I love how you wear this plaid shirt with it, so I am totally gonna pulled that look off in summer….
