I usually travel a lot for work.
Last year during one of those travels
I had a weekend off in one of my favorite places in
South America: Buenos Aires, Argentina.
One of my favorite things is their markets,
the most touristy one: San Telmo.
It's every Sunday and it's endless.
Last year while at San Telmo, there was this lady selling
vintage dresses and I fell in love with this purple one.
She did not have a place for me to try it on so I did what I could
and undressed (just a little) in the park so I could try it on.
I paid about 20.00 USD for it.
When I got home after that trip I tried on the dress
and it was a bit tight and had tiny holes at the hem.
Today is my very first time wearing it.
The dress had no tags so there is no way to know size,
maker or place of manufacture.
This morning I am just happy it fits.

I think I had been afraid of trying it on as it was tight before, but I
am trying to wear all the unworn items I have in my
closet and this was one of them plus a year seems too long !
Also during my trip to Buenos Aires I visited
Buenos Aires design where I picked up these textile barrettes which
I am also wearing today to show off my haircut.
