“Life is always better with a closet full of tulle, frills and glitter!” -Anonymous
Though I am not sure who said this cute quote, I agree with it fully! Does anyone else have visions of being Carrie Bradshaw running around NYC in a tulle skirt and heels? It is so feminine and badass – all at the same time! The pic above is my own little Carrie moment – but in the Bay Area. It was a hot day and I felt super sassy in this nude skirt and white crop.This perfect skirt is from Chicwish and I’ve linked it below. Might I add that it’s on SALE?!? Keep scrolling to see some family photos where tulle was a must! Scroll to the bottom to shop my look. Muah!
Tulle has a special place in my heart and always will. It is so fluffy and fun, and feels a lot like playing dress up, but in an adult appropriate way! Haha! You can put a tulle skirt with a tshirt, denim top, soft sweater, crop top, leather jacket, booties, heels, cute flats…I mean it’s crazy how versatile tulle can be – and really is! Dress it up or down…make it look fancy or edgy. I’m clearly a fan of tulle in its many forms.
For both of my maternity photo shoots (for Gabriel and Sofia), I chose tulle because there is something so soft and elegant about it. I think it works beautifully for maternity and baby photos. One of my all time favorite photos was taken while I was pregnant with Sofia. Gabriel (who was 1 at the time) was hugging me. We staged the same photo after Sofia was born, and the photos turned out absolutely beautiful. The photos have such a softness and glow from the tulle, that works perfectly with the tenderness of those special moments. I’ve included one of the photos below so you can see what it looks like from our newborn photoshoot. I’m sitting on a white bed and the tulle is almost like a puffy, white, soft cloud. I was clearly in heaven with my babies! 🙂
We’ve also used tulle for some of our fun family photoshoots. Sofia’s 1st birthday was a perfect reason to put both of us in tulle dresses (see photo below in pink and gold). For our holiday photos the last 2 years, I chose tulle but in different colors. Last year was black tulle (see “JOY” photo above) and this year was red tulle (see my latest holiday post). Tulle is fun and flirty and festive. It is also very forgiving and photographs really well!
As you can see, anytime we have an event or photoshoot – I always find a way to incorporate tulle skirts or dresses. To properly show my love for tulle – I’ve pulled together my favorite items that will help to round out your closet. Think holiday parties, New Years, birthdays, family photos…trips to NYC where you can get your inner Carrie on! Do it all!!!!
I hope this roundup helps you find a new fave tulle item for your next event! Happy shopping!
