to tutu or not to tutu?

i enjoyed some much-needed girl time this weekend, catching up with my pal caitlin on saturday. before brunching at my favoritesouthport grocerywe popped into anthropologie where i spotted a few gems. namely...
the tutu | the bib | the wishbone

im normally not a huge fan of bib necklaces, but this one by pam hiran is something special. the wishbone is meant to be a jewelry holder, but i love it as just a decorative token. something whimsical and shiny on display. but the real item of the hour is that tulle treat: the tutu skirt. i grabbed it as soon as i saw it and think it's quite fabulous. perfect for cocktail events, holiday parties, and whenever else i feel like dressing up. i was pleasantly surprised to see it got a great response on instagram. of course i'm not sure it would be the most practical purchase, but it's been two days and i'm still thinking about it.

so readers, i ask, to tutu or not to tutu? that is the question.

It's a must - something different and extra special for the Holiday season! I know Shabby Apple has one for about $65, in navy, black, and white. Might be a little bit more bang for your buck!

I love the look - so as long as you have an occasion to wear it, great purchase! I love the bib necklace too. And I totally agree with your wishbone as a decoration piece as opposed to a jewelry holder. Great finds!
