Up on the roof


I realize this outfit isn't very stylish, but it is warm and casual. Also, jumping. Ridiculous, I know, but posed photos are so boring.

Today I bought a hat from a hat store on Riobamba. The owner helped me pick it out and told me about her life in Buenos Aires. One of the things I like most about clothing is the people I buy it from and the memories I take away from our interactions. Photos to come.

Belt: Vintage (was Mom's, stole it, now mine)
Jeans: Wanama- usually expensive, but I got mine 50% off!
Shirt: Vintage hippie
Shoes: Converse- a must-have in Argentina.

Family Dollar

My sister and my dad thrift. One of my dad's favorite things to talk about is how many shirts he can buy for five dollars, for example:"How much did that shirt cost you? Ten dollars! I can buy 10 shirts for five dollars!" And my sister has started thrifting as well. No more Hollister and A&F. All Something Old, Something New and The Village. Two skirts, two windbreakers, three shirts, and two sweaters all for fifteen dollars!

Bargain hunting. Must be genetic.
