Alter Shoppers: Chillin' in Chile

Suzy, an Alter customer, sent us this great photo of herself rocking a Kitchen Orange sweatshirt and some Cheap Monday Tight fit jeans while on work/study in South America!

"I am studying in Buenos Aires in Argentina but that photo was taken in Temuco, Chile. We were helping an indigenous family build a "ruka" which is the traditional house of the Mapuche Indians in Chile and Argentina. Ruka's have dirt floors, so we were shoveling and packing the dirt to lay a foundation.

If you have images of yourself wearing Alter gear we would love to see them! Show us how you wear it, style and work it- and you too can be featured on our blog. Post them to our Alter Facebook page and we will showcase our favorite ones on the blog.
