As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I love ballet and ballerina style. So I was super excited when I got an email from Elle magazine with a link to a slideshow of 15 ballet-inspired pieces to wear now. Unfortunately, though, all the pieces are crazy expensive — a few were several thousand dollars. And while most of them were indeed beautiful, I don’t anticipate spending $400 on a headband anytime soon.
So, I decided to make my own list of ballet-inspired pieces that cost $60 or less. Check them out and then get to pirouetting!
Row 1: Sweater ($60), Flats ($25), Flower headband ($5.80), Bodysuit ($17.99)
Row 2: Headband ($14.95), Mesh dress ($24.95), Cap-toe flats ($24.99), Earrings ($48)
Row 3: Tulle skirt ($50), Headband ($19.90), Sweater ($49.95), Spiky flats ($9.98)
Row 4: Flower earrings ($30), Cream tulle skirt ($44), Floral flats ($12.80), Wrap-style top ($25.90)
Row 5: Skirt ($22.99), Robot necklace ($58), Dress ($12.95), Necklace ($45), Hair clip ($4.80)
And two more that were a bit more expensive but too fabulous to exclude:
OMG! My inner ballerina is doing fouettes! I saw that tulle Top Shop skirt in Hong Kong in ballet pink and for much more expensive. I think I’ll just have to add this to my must-buy list!
