Inspired by Bunheads

 (Image)

 I am in love with the new ABC Family series Bunheads. Have you been watching? I was a dancer up until age eight and it's one thing I regret giving up so badly. I've always admired dancer style - the flowy skirts over tights, classic black leotards, and those beautiful pastel, pink shoes. I'm always inspired by unexpected pieces in fashion - why not wear a leotard as a top and go straight from practice to an evening out?!

(Or simply pretend you're a dancer and do it anyway!)

I've regretted giving up dance too. I haven't watched Bunheads yet, but it sounds great. Lovely picture and cute outfit!

The cutest, I absolutely love this. SO wish I could have been a dancer.... well or a gymnast! :) GUess I'll have to settle for dance moves around my bedroom, haha.

I too took ballet when I was younger but chose to continue on with tennis instead. I still find myself intrigued with the graceful sport and always love going to the Nutcracker in December. Happy Monday!

My girl in now in 13 of dance, since she was three. I had the pleasure of teaching all girls for two years, and I cotaught ballet once a week with a grand recital! I miss it terribly! Take lessons again! You will fall in love!

Ooh, I haven't been able to see Bunheads yet but I want to...I need more time in my day...def. plan on catching up on Hulu. I did dance when I was very little...I kind of wish I had never given it up now. I do so love how graceful dancers are. :)

I watched the first episode and it was cute! I am loving The Breaking Pointe too... it is a new reality show about ballet!

I do dance classes as my workout and it is so great! I had an hour and a half of ballet tonight and my butt is already feeling it! I agree that the style is wonderful... I always wish I could buy a million leotards and skirts!!
