Ballet Moderne: Girly Fashion & Finds for Mother & Daughter
If you have a little girl, there's a decent chance at some point she'll go through a dance phase. Whether it's a toddler who loves to don ballet slippers and do her own version of Swan Lake, or a tween who dresses up in twirly skirts and rocks out to Miley, there's something about ballerinas that always delights.
Still, as moms, we're not always into the super frilly, over-the-top ballerina duds, so we hit the web in search of more modern versions of dance gear. And along the way, we found some cool things for grownup girls as well! Who can forget Carrie Bradshaw in her famous tutu and tank top at the beginning of Sex in the City? Who doesn't want to have a bit of that magic?
Check out our fun roundup of finds for moms and their little divas - and enjoy!
