Tutus

It seems tutus are a must have in today’s little girl’s closet.  According to where I have seen tutus, there is an age limit on tutus. Most seem to be limited to the toddler set.  If you are an older girl, as in 5 and up, you need to go to a dance or specialty stores.  Even then it seems they would like you to keep your tutu wearing to dance class and photo shoots.  If you are an adult female, just keep it to the privacy of your own home unless you want weird stares and questions about your mental state.

This is all great news for Evie.  She LOVES tutus.  She wears them almost everyday and on days that she isn’t wearing one she put up a good fight to wear one.  Lucky for me there are more options for tutus beside Chasing Fireflies, dance stores and $80 price tags.  Target, the store that will forever have my undying love, has tutus and at rock bottom prices.  There is a a slight tutu, which is basically just a knit skirt with some tulle over it for $5, then there is a fuller tutu for only $10.  I was shocked when I first stumbled upon them.  I had gotten a nice full tutu at Marshall’s for $10.  After a few wearings, the wire in the tutu started coming out and once that started the tutu was a goner.  Evie’s first tutu came from Gymboree, but I prefer the Target ones.  While the Gymboree has multiple colors it is not holding up well through washings and wearings.   After multiple wearings, the Target tutus are holding up well.  And when I say multiple wearings, I am talking 3/4 times a week.  Evie currently has a black tutu (Halloween, of course), pink (for everyday princess fare) and hot pink (for when she is feeling a sassy, which is often).

Take a look for yourself:

This would be Evie’s Halloween outfit for this season.

The socks were the perfect addition to the tutu.
What girl can have a black tutu without some pink skull socks?
