So I did what every Southern girl would logically do (at least the one's I know)-> I went shopping!
So the first place that I ended up gong to is one of my favorite haunts here: H&M. I know, I know, not all the Korean and most of the clothes i can find in stores back home. But I like it because I am able to find clothes that fit in with what I brought here from home (i.e. Black), while at the same time, I know that they will have my size available in majority of the clothes. I was looking for a new white dress that I could wear for ceremonies that my sorority has and also because everyone needs a little white dress since it goes with most everything and very versatile. So the first H&M I went to had the dress in a medium, which truthfully would have worked, but I am not sure how much weight I am going to gain when I go back to the states, so I wanted to have something that has a little bit more wiggle room just in case. So since there was not a large in the store, I have to go to Myeongdong (aka one of Seoul's most popular shopping areas) and go to the H&M there. Well they had the dress in a large and also some more cool clothes that I am waiting to go on sale before I decided if I want to get them or not.

Since I was in Myeongdong, my friend and I decided to go check out the new clothing store STAFF since we had walked by opening day when VIXX was there promoting the store. We had seen the clothes from the outside and they looked right up our ally style wise, so we thought it would be a good chance to check them out. Well if you are ever in Myeongdaong, go check out STAFF. The clothing is a little bit more expensive than H&M and Forever21 (more closer to pricing here in the States like Gap and Lands-in), but the quality of the clothe and the construction of the clothes is worth it. The staff is really helpful, friendly (and they have English speaking staff!), and pretty good looking too if that is important to you. I ended up getting one dress from there that I know I am going to get a lot of use out of. It is a high collar sleeveless dress that is perfect for dressing up or dressing down per the occasion. But seriously I am in love with this dress and with this store. I mean even the bag was high quality and soft to the touch (does that make sense...)!
I also got a long maxi skirt from Forever21 in a really pretty black with a white daisy pattern on it. It has two slits along the sides, so it is really flowy. I actually wore it to my Korean speaking midterm and my teacher really liked it. I needed something floraly since the weather is getting hotter, yet also something that was able to fit in with what I already brought with me and that I would wear when I get back home in a few months. I freaking love this skirt! I have been wearing it every chance I get to!! Sorry for the picture that I got of the Internet of it, I tried to get a good one, but I think its beauty is better shown while it is being worn, rather than on a hanger:
Also, not clothing, but equally interesting are these gems that I picked up in a convenience store. They are designed to go on our fingers to protect your wet nails from smudging during the drying process. I have used them a few times now and they really seem to work! Just not on my thumbs for some reason, still trying to figure out the reason why though.
Well, time for me to go! Will try to be more consistent with my posts and will be giving y'all more of a range of topics, rather than just updates all the time!
