Ballerina-chic

All of a sudden, I feel like I am seeing ballet – esque pieces of clothing everywhere … and especially with all of these nude shades coming into play this season. Is anyone else seeing this besides me?



This Old Navy wrap dress is in a yummy mint green shade, and I swear, it looks exactly like the dresses my ballet teacher used to wear when I took dance classes at age 7. Totally cute for Spring and Summer, and it’s only $15.

I also love the draping of this jersey knit skirt from American Apparel — comes in a whole mess of colors, and it’s a great basic to have around … it’s only $30 and you can pair this with lots of different tees & tanks during the warmer months, but could still layer it over tights or leggings when it’s cold outside.

These stirrup leggings from Forever 21 also have a little bit of a Flash Dance feel to them, but could be really cute when paired with the right outfit. And they’re a steal for $13.

This isn’t exactly a ballet-style top in the traditional sense, but the lovely draping on this lace-trim top from the ELLE line at Kohl’s is still a nice nod to the ballerina. And it’s on sale for $21.

Last but not least, if you want to add a little ballet feel to any outfit, why not go straight to the source and pick up a pair of Capezio Ballet Slippers? They’re in that perfect nude color, they’re soft, and most importantly they’re only $24.
