TIBETAN STREET STYLE

Like most women who idly trowel the internet, I'm a sucker for street style. Plus, my post about our Korean friend's unique fashion got me thinking about the other rare birds I've spotted in places like Portland, Shanghai, or Ouagadougou. I encountered this lovely lady sipping milk tea and catching up with her friends at a Buddhist nunnery one autumn afternoon in Lhasa, Tibet. When I picked up my camera, she immediately assumed this regal pose, as if having her photo taken by a stranger was the most natural thing in the world. I imagine one's posture has to be good to wear such heavy hair accessories.
