Francophile Friday: Et Tutu, Repetto
 |
| {Et Tutu Repetto Paris : ink pen and watercolour illustration by Shell-Sherree} |
When I was little, like most young ladies, I daydreamed of wearing a tutu {and still do!} The dancing side of it ~ hmmm, not so sure of. My sister and I had a short-lived flirtation with some dance classes but I'm hazy on the details aside from using the back of a dining chair as a practice barre ~ and not often enough to continue on with the classes. {Fair enough and probably a wise move ... though I'd never have been rejected for being too tall.}
A little something from Repetto in Paris for a fancy dress occasion would be a gorgeous way to see those tutu daydreams through. Their exquisite window displays are more than enough reason to press your nose to the glass ~ and today's illustration was inspired by this one.
If a street-wear take on the tutu is more your cup of tea, may I suggest this with your tank top colour of choice. {And possibly an extra foot in height ~ fortunately for me, what I lack in ballet genes, I make up for in those of the high heel variety!} And on that note ...
Happy Francophile Friday to you!
PS: Time is nebulous Chez Shell Sherree. Friday ... Sunday ... let's not concern ourselves with such minor details ...
I like the ling black one. Very cute
ReplyDeleteThanks, Margaret ~ I think our dear Blogger ate part of your comment but I get the general gist. :)
Deletemy days of getting away with a tutu are behind me - but I still relish a beautiful chandelier
ReplyDeleteAnd you don't need to figure out which shoes to wear with a chandelier, PA.
DeleteA lovely illustration, chere Shell. And a witty title!
ReplyDeleteThanks, dear Petrea! Coming from you, that's chuffed me twice over.
DeleteLovely! And Kitty looks content in her tutu, too. Meanwhile, I say that if you dream of wearing a tutu, then go for it. I'm sure you can pull it off, ma belle, toes shoes or no toe shoes (a pair of Louboutins, peut-être?).
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love it when you speak Louboutins, ma chère... I'd want to colour the soles pink or aqua, though ~ I'd be run out of town. :)
DeleteFun to dream...and dance. Lovely illo, and Kitty looks demure in her tutu.
ReplyDeleteShe does look demure, doesn't she. Let's not imagine how the back of that tutu probably looks now that she's climbed up there.
DeleteDelightful illustration, especially kitty! I don't think I could pull off either tutu, but there's just something so wonderful about that look (both for dancers and urban ballerinas). I'd like that chandelier however!
ReplyDeleteThanks, dear Katie! Actually, I think you'd wear both styles with derring do. :)
DeleteI think we should slip into our tutus, tip-toe down Swann's Way, and sample some madelaines, neh say paw?
ReplyDeleteI like the way you think, hiker...
