Well you already know about my tango shoe obsession, but I’ve recently been updating my tango clothes collection.
When my friend Venetia came to Buenos Aires a few years ago, she thought she would dance tango. So she went out and bought this beautiful (and obviously very expensive) black silk chiffon skirt. Then she decided tango wasn’t for her, and she forgot about the skirt. She recently unearthed in in a cupboard and gave it to me. I love it! It’s cut on the bias and swirls beautiful when I pivot!
I bought this skirt on Friday afternoon and wore it Sunday night! Red crushed velvet with a fishtail — the milonga is the last bastion of over-the-top dressing!
At Sueño Porteño, where I went last night, they take random photos of the dancers for their Facebook page. This is me with one of my first partners of the evening. What a great dancer he was!
As if all this weren’t enough, I went shopping again today and bought more! My challenge tonight will be deciding which outfit to wear.
And today I secured another new client — so you know what that means! Stay tuned for photos.
