The hotel phone rang at 7 a.m., and it was my friend Antonella, a "blogopher" (her word) who has 22,300 Twitter followers and that was yesterday, who I dimly remembered was picking me up to show me the "real" Buenos Aires.
Fortunately, I remembered I was in Buenos Aires at the time.
All is forgiven when I see this dress staring at me.
Café con leche and medialunas at Las Violetas was a two-hour affair.
Empanadas and pizza for lunch at La Mezzetta, an out-of-the-way hole in the wall in Colegiales, took a while longer.
A "short" walk where everyone greets her.
("Mis amigos.")
At night, it's Tango at La Viruta, and she has pulled a spectacular belt out of her bag, and slipped it on.
It swayed with the rhythm of her steps as she danced with a number of partners but kept coming back to her "special" Juano.
I was exhausted just watching.
However, I did notice that her dress stood up to the rigors quite magnificently, and cut quite a figure.
Antonella's Sweater Dress (No. 3328). Great V-neck slipover in 100% extra fine merino wool. Rib and pointelle details around front neck. Tubular finish on sleeves.
Sophisticated double hem action.
Don't forget the belt.
