I've gone shopping, I do go shopping a lot here in Seoul, but the value and styles just aren't there. I don't think paying $40 for a skirt is so dirt-cheap that I deserve to have it fall apart in the first wash, and it's exhausting to schlepp around trying to find things w/o frills and bows and furbelows -- or w/o scrawly text all over them. I like simple, clean lines, close-fitted but not tight, somewhat basic but flattering to my body shape.
Anyway, my colours are hard to find here too -- basically I wear pinks of all shades, greys, white, a little lavender . . . not much else. I do have a yellow skirt w/ pink stitching, and a brown skirt w/ pink floral appliques (from Australia), and a few black skirts (w/, yes, correct, pink detailing!) -- so there is a narrow range of what I'm looking for.
Another thing that pushes me to online shopping: sales! I can't believe some of the great bargains out there now, my MIL is always bugging me to visit outlet malls w/ her (YAWN there's never anything good for me) but w/ some of the sales I;ve found it's better than outlet malls!
I'll have to post pics when i get my stuff . . . actually I should post the pics I already have of my outfits and such . . . bad blogstress!
