copy+paste 02

cowgirl cottagecore

copy+paste is a series of attempts to either digitally or physically recreate an outfit I saw and admired IRL. (You can find all installments here!) I love seeing street style photos, but ethically, I feel uncomfortable including my iPhone creep shots in a public newsletter unless I’ve explicitly asked someone for permission to share. So the actual photo will remain on my phone, but you will still be able to share in the essence and hopefully appreciate the outfit as much as I did!

I saw her in Peru, waiting at a ticket booth in Cusco. A deep tan, yellowy-brown, almost a suede shirt, not even jacket. A long, gauzy skirt in white cotton with a woven grid pattern. Low-profile black and white cowboy boots, and a chocolate brown felted wool hat she was holding in one hand. The skirt took it out of costume-y territory. I might have also added a piece of jewelry (turquoise is so tempting, but maybe something red and modern to further cut the cowboy vibe.)
