Oh Hey Friday Five: Fall Fashion in Korea

Let's face it, Koreans know style. But it's a different type of style here. A lot of the pieces are still the same as in the US, but they are just so well put together. You will see someone in a top, skirt, and sneakers with socks, but it's coordinated so well. I am going to have to go out and sneak pictures of people so you know what I'm talking about.

In the meantime, I've got to step up my mom wardrobe. I don't stay in my yoga pants ALL Day, although if we aren't going anywhere that day, I might. I do actually put on pants and a shirt most days. But I believe it's the accessories that make Korea so fashionable.

Another catcher here, is that my closet is small. We even had to buy a separate armoire closet for Steve because there was no way we could fit all of our clothes in the one. Heck, I can barely fit all of my clothes in the one. But, I've also always talked about skimming down my wardrobe. I've heard that we wear 20% of our wardrobe 80% of the time. So out when the old. I took out anything I did not wear in the past year, plus some. I was left searching pinterest with ideas to amp up a smaller wardrobe.

So here ladies (and gents) are my top 5 fall outfits for Fall in Korea. Happy Friday!

The green Army jacket is big here. So big, I went out and bought one from the local H&M for 69,000 won, and I love it. It pairs with everywhere. But the style here with the brown boots, long T, and leggings just looks so comfortable and fashionable. Can't forget the long necklace to add length to the look. I have all of these already and will definitely be wearing this style this fall.

Black and White striped shirt. Small stripes, big stripes, you see it all. I already have most of these pieces in my wardrobe, minus the name brand bag and Tory Burch earrings and belt. A girl can dream, but I have less expensive versions of these that will make it work.

Dress and boots. I don't have this adorable dress, but any dress will do really. Koreans love their dresses and skirts. Add some stockings and you're set for the colder weather. It's simple and sweet. 

four.

Here we are with the striped shirt again but much smaller stripes. But the focus here is the quilted vest and rain boots. These two are a must over here especially with all the rain from the end of monsoon season. Pair with some heavy socks and you're set for snow too. These are added to my "must buy" list. 

five.

Simple and chic is what this look is. Button up shirt, skinny jeans, flats, and an oversized bag. Done. I wore this look yesterday. Not only is it comfortable but stylish.

  4. Hey, we're practically neighbors! Okay. Not really, I live in China, but still, same side of the globe. Dresses and skirts are really big here, too--so are high heels, but I avoid those since I'm already a head taller than most.
