I have many dreams.
And one of them was to be a ballerina.
I remember owning musical boxes that opened up to reveal little ballerinas twirling
and how content I would be to while away my time staring at them.
The little tutu skirt represents the desire I had as a child
to be as graceful, lithe and nimble as a ballerina dancer.
Sadly I never had the chance to be one.
But that would not keep me from wearing a tutu skirt ♥

Over the years I have caught bits and pieces of it when it airs on cable but finally saw the entire movie yesterday. And I'm reminded of how great an actress Winona Ryder is, growing up I used to adore her movies during her Johnny Depp era. Oh, and Christina Ricci was hilarious! What a fantastic debut, she really stole the show in every scene she appeared, I laughed the hardest at the pumpkin scene! And of course, who can help but fall in love with the theme, 'The Shoop Shoop song (It's in his kiss)'! The ending scene where they all danced to 'If you wanna be happy' was just about the most perfect thing I've ever seen.
By the end of the movie, I was happily dancing along too:)

You look like a beautiful ballerina indeed. Ohhhh,is that top/dress from Topshop ? heeee and the tutu skirt is stunning with everything.
I love and miss dancing ballet so much.The gracefulness of it I love it all.
Ohhh,I've not watched the Mermaid movie before.Is it really good?
I saw on Maria's(lululetty) blog that your boyfriend got you the heart tights already! Yeahhhhh,so happy for you. Guess you won't need me to get you another pair? As you've gotten yours,must be so exciting that your boyfriend is returning and also with beloved goodies.

Your skirt is precious! And you look fab in it! I love how you paired it with that leotard-looking top!
You're right...even though you aren't a professional ballerina that doesn't mean you can't wear a tutu or dance your heart out!

I love the tutu skirt. Great photos!
too bad you haven't become a ballet dancer. I've always wanted to become a princess... didn't happen :P
loves
You look too cute!
I love ballerinas - so elegant, so classic.
Hy!Thanks for the comment!
Just wanted to say that if you dream of being a ballerina you should go after it. You are probably two old now(you're not old old but old for becoming a ballerina), but maybe you can be a dancer of smth.
kiss
I loved that song! Even now, whenever I hear it I can't stop dancing.
Great tutu :)
you're just adorable!
and that skirt is too cute!
i'm too much of a klutz though to even dream of being a ballerina ;)
I don't think girls ever grow out of tutus...

i love the massive scoop at the bck ^^
i love ur outfit too :3
I think i wanted to be a princess :p
I LOVE that outfit. The tiered tutu skirt reminds me of my own favorite skirt (actually a tiered ruffled semi-sheer white petticoat from Hanky Panky), only I think yours is prettier. It goes very nicely with the black lace top. The photos of you as a ballerina are beautiful.
Mermaids is a great film, I love it!!
Yaaaaaaaw Sher, I think that when we all were young ladies, we dreamed about being ballerinas... I wanted too! But I think that my most beloved dream was being a fairy... great times!!
Thanks for congratulationg me in my birthday!! <3
you're so lovely!

Re:Surely I will show my tattoo to you all soon. Getting it next Friday,so of course I will be up with a update too!
Christmas gift buying is indeed so hard.But I know I will be able to sort it out. So exciting huh ? heee
I guess I because I really love love Topshop items and I actually wanted to get the dress too! But I didn't in the end. Awww,its alright girl! But if you need an extra pair of tights. Just let me know yea
I will have to catch that mermaid movie too!
love the sheer-ness of this skirt
and im in love with your "favorite books" list. great minds think alike!

"if you wanna be happy for the rest of your life..." God i LOVE that movie !! i first saw it when i was just a kid and i watched a hundred times since then !! Cher is AWESOME !!!
I took dance classes for 10 years and never raelly felt i looked like a ballerina, but still, i got to wear some tutus... you look lovely !!
I bought a dress not to long ago that is really tutu style, i need to show you !
Thanks for the comment on my hair, i m actually wondering if i should cut it...
I had the same dream...which explains my obsession with tulle!
Sweetie pie, you're so young! Find a good teacher and do some ballet conditioning classes. I started in my forties and my teacher has a student in her eighties! You just need a good teacher. You look as if you would be a billion times more flexible than me! No excuses! xx
That's so cute. Love ballerina cloths
Love it. They have great tutus in H&M at the moment :).
i love your backless top. you'll look great as a ballerina!
I used to love ballet when I was a child and I also adored music boxes. Its very nice how your outfit draws inspiration from your dream. I love both your skirt and top.
I definitely believe we express our desires and childhood fantasies through our clothing (well, those of us who are in touch with our clothes, that is).
'Mermaids' is one of my all time favorite movies. Classic Winona. Another great one of hers is 'Reality Bites'.
ah, gorgeous lady in a gorgeous outfit! is this skirt f21? i have one in black that looks just like it and i LOVE it. i wear it too much. :)
wew..
you are soo sweetie dear!

Hello ! You are in my blog roll ! Thank you for your lovely comment !
http://mimietnini.canalblog.com/
You'll still make a pretty ballerina! :)
Your posts are full of such magic! I love it! You look GORGEOUS, and that backless lace top is to DIE for. :) Never seen that movie, I gotta check it out!
When I was a child I took ballet classes. For 3 years I think, but I didn't enjoy them too much. I changed to rhythmic gymnastics.
Love your tutu skirt, gorgeous.
Thanks for your comment! Kisses!
This is such an amazing outfit! I love the tutu-- I need to seriously get me one. And, the lace top is cut beautifully with a great fabric!
Love this outfit, tutus are always my favorite to look at! I also much watch Mermaids sometime!
You look so cute as a ballerina, I love the outfit and the feelings you're expressing through your photos:)
Hope you're doing great.
xoxo,
Gia.

In an earlier comment I mentioned how I LOVE this outfit and how your tiered tutu skirt reminded me of my own favorite skirt (a tiered white semi-sheer white petticoat from Hanky Panky) I recently did a new post on Lady Gaga featuring a photo of myself on a Halloween wearing that petti. Comparing them side by side, your outfit is prettier, and probably much more suited for being the ballerina you've dreamt of being. Love your pretty outfit and the photos.
wow girl, this look is great!
