Claire’s Buenos Aires Blog

One of my favorite things to do in Buenos Aires is shop. Shop, shop, shop. Especially if the clothes are on sale. Below are some of the things I’ve bought:

Skirt, Las Pepas

Flashy, but 100% cotton and really light

Skirt, La Coquette

A bit pricey, but it has a neat rising back. Works well with a black shirt and leggings.

Shirt, adorhada guillermina

A ridiculous pattern. I bought it to wear with black jeans (still to hot to wear those) and to piss off my ex-boyfriend, who hates mint green.

Shoes, Lady Comfort

These are fall shoes, and weren’t on sale, but all my other closed toe flats have been destroyed by BA sidewalks.

Shirt, Lupe

Comfortable, light. I bought this a size up because it looks better loose.

Jeans, Wanama

So you know those really odd shades of skinny jeans that Argentine girls with mullets wear? I bought a pair in an inoffensive color (though I was tempted by mint green).

Now, I spent a lot of money on these clothes. But most cheap Argentine clothes are made out of polyester and viscosa, a rather shady sounding fabric. So I’ve started spending more to get something that’s well made. At the very least, whenever someone in the USA compliments me, I can say “Why, this old thing? I bought it in Argentina!”
