There is always something so elegant about ballet inspired clothing. We Thread Ethic girls lived for some time with the School of American Ballet dancers in New York City, due to housing shortages at The Juilliard School where we were enrolled. Yes, it was a little strange to be pianists surrounded by ballet dancers, but also a little fun to get an inside peek into the lives of dancers. Even when they were rushing around, sweating and exhausted they always looked so polished and chic with their hair in tight little chignons, wearing leotards, tissue thin wrap skirts, tights and toe shoes in shades of blush and pale nudes. The Chloe Spring 2011 collection captured this elegance beautifully. There's just something so timeless about full, pretty skirts, ballet slippers and hair pulled back smoothly and elegantly.
