broadway week: day 4 - billy elliot

Today's Broadway week show is 'Billy Elliot.' I will admit, this isn't on my top see list, but I love a good dance-based show, and this show is all about ballet. I chose to style a look based on the ballet theme, but since the show is about a boy who is a ballet dancer, I chose to keep the color palette more in the tan/neutral zone, and have delicate accessories to keep the look feminine.
