As someone who has danced their whole life and ripped more pale pink tights than I'd like to admit (I've never been the graceful type). I LOVE J. Crew's use of Russian ballerinas in their latest catalog to model their cashmere sweaters.
Ballerina style has always appealed to me; these looks are inspired by my favorite pieces; black leotards, tulle skirts, and lace up shoes. Top knot bun not required, but would look incredibly cute with these styles.
