So... 
Whether it's lace, flouncy skirts, delicate fabrics, flat shoes and tiered maxi dresses, we can happily revisit our long-forgotten fantasies of being as graceful and as poised as ballerinas while staying ultra-fashionable at the same time.
So, how can we achieve the ballet-inspired look without looking old-fashioned or too hippy? The number one recommendation is the knee-length frothy skirt - whether it's ruffled or tiered. Choose solid colors or printed fabrics and wear the skirt with a sheer top or a corset-style, slim-fitting blouse in order to achieve a modern yet unitary look.

Embellish your outfit with subtle ballerina details - a nice V or scooped neckline, a flounce of lace at the hem of the skirt or dress, dresses made of silk or satin in nice, vintage colors such as pearl, muted pink, a light silvery-lavender, washed-out blue or green. If you go for an outfit that's got multiple colors, accessorize it with nude colored shoes to keep the soft feeling about you, and add a single theatrical piece of jewelry - a cuff bracelet or a sparkling necklace with one single gem. An embroidered satchel or a petite ruffled purse will make the style work even better, giving you a quirky yet creative and romantic air.
