Dr.'s Note - Buenos Aires Fashion!

Hola! Be kind dear readers, this is my first post!

We've only been here for 2 days, but I quickly started compiling a list of how to better fit in with these gorgeous Argentinian ladies. Here's just a few:

1. Shrink 3 inches. I'm only 5'5". but ladies are pretty petite on average.

2. Shrink 80 pounds. Again, ladies are petite here! Makes me feel even more like a big fat American, but "es la vida".

3. Start chain smoking. That might actually help me better accomplish #2.

4. Wear platform shoes. Like, massive platform sandals. They are everywhere, it's pretty awesome (see examples).


If I had any room in my luggage I'd be rocking a pair right now. I have a theory that platforms are popular instead of high heels here because the roads and sidewalks are in pretty bad shape. Walking in heels is just asking for a broken ankle.

5. Wear minimal makeup, but just be naturally model-beautiful. So many stunning women here.

6. Wear the hell out of either skinny jeans or super short daisy duke denim cut offs. Like, borderline indecent exposure short. Adam seems to enjoy this short shorts trend. Dress is pretty casual here but they could also wear a garbage bag and make it look hot.

7. Speaking of garbage, avoid throwing your trash in a garbage can at all costs, even if it's right next to you. No one seems to care about cleaning up after themselves, which makes the Seattle in me rage a bit.

That's it for now, I've got to get back to people-watching and starting on the above list!

xoxo (signing off with the wave of my very first ciggy),

PS - I'm just kidding about smoking, that's gross.

  4. Thank you all for the comments! Much appreciated!
    I forgot an important one on my list - I need to get at least 7-10 shades more tan, asap. Our albino-ness is especially prominent here.

  7. Platforms are gorgeous but there's no way I'd be walking in an upgraded geisha sandal!
