Agostina

We met our personal shopper, Agostina today. We met at a mall somewhere in BA. We had to take a subway and it was kind of on the outskirts of town where not a lot of tourists go. We had some time before meeting her and the neighborhood is all about tango. You can buy tango shoes, dresses, etc.

Agostina was so funny and told us how if you don't have a boyfriend in Argentina it is customary to dress like a whore. She also told us how the Europeans she takes around like the stores that sell "trashy whore" clothes. It made us laugh.

Turns out she is a teacher in the inner city schools and they are not allowed to wear jewelry to teach in since the kids don't have much. She also took us to different neighborhoods and made sure everyone gave us the tax free stuff.

We shopped for about 3 hours and she is going to call around and send us an email with suggestions for tango shows tonight that won't be too much of a rip off. She is also going to give us lists of stores that sell good jewelry and bags.

If you ever come to BA I would highly recommend getting in touch with Agostina and going shopping.
