Pipi Cucu!

Bought a futuristic stewardess-like dress at Pipi Cucu la tiendita (Defensa 975) -- officially the CUTEST store name of all time. The store that carries only local designers with really wacky designs. The fabric is a bit sketchy (Argentine, so sort of shitty) but the dress is tight as a glove and shows every curve of my body. And the top has collar that rises in the back, but has a really low cut.

365 days of sustainable fashion

Sheena Matheiken has taken it to the max with The Uniform Project. In order to promote sustainable fashion, Sheena has pledged to wear the same dress for an entire year. She has a dress for every day of the week (thank goodness) and accessorizes with jewelry, tights, hats and other items of clothing.

One of the things I like best about Sheena's idea is her creativity. Sure, it's easy to look nice wearing a dress from any old store. But it's not exciting and different. Sheena not only promotes sustainable fashion, but innovative fashion as well.

Oh...and I also have a girl crush on her.

Fall hat

Skirt: Old Navy
Shirt: Zara
Tights: Purple
Hat: Romer
Cardigan: It's Our Time
Belt: Vintage

The hat is growing on me. At first it seemed a bit ridiculous, but now I'm enjoying it. And I've started noticing people wearing similar hats. Unsurprisingly, it's mostly old men.

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.

Fall in Palermo

Dress: United Colors of Benetton

woof!

Vintage dog scarves

Dogs. I hate them. They smell, make a lot of noise, always want attention. In a battle between cats and dogs, I would choose cats even if I knew they were going to lose. But somehow I always end up buying clothing that has dogs on it- a shirt, these scarves.

I may have a dog around my neck, but I'll always have a cat in my heart.

PS. Does anyone read this? It would be nice if you did, but I also like cataloguing the things I buy so I remember what I have. My blog is like a virtual closet...so come take a look around.

PPS. I wore my white 80's jacket today and got a lot of complements. It is so ridiculous that I wore it with a black shirt, shoes, and pants to tone it down a bit.

PJS!

Vintage peach mens pjs

It's weird. Even though I have a fashion blog and loads of amazing clothes, I still spend most of my day wearing pjs. No joke. At least now I have something that matches my aesthetic.

I've decided to stop adding the prices, because everything I buy costs one peso and the clothes that aren't seem way to expensive comparatively.
