Shopping Shopping Shopping! (Part 1)

As if I have not emphasized enough yet, there is so much SHOPPING to be done in Korea! Omg...I get so overwhelmed just walking into the shopping areas and yet I always end up coming back and I never leave empty handed. Below is the start of many more shopping adventures to come especially when Sindra and Mary arrives. I am really holding it in so I can shop my heart out when they come. The only bad thing here is that their largest shoe size barely fits me!!! I know I have big feet, but can't Korea cut a girl some slack? There are soooooooooo many shoes around here and yet I have a very limited choice. Well, so far that I have seen.

Dongdaemun Shopping!
So in this area there are huge department stores and also underground shopping. The department store here is not like ones we have in America but rather things are sectioned off into little shops and it gets CRAZY!!!
These mannequins are so skinny! I don't think I will ever fit into their pants. -_-
They have such cute business clothes, I do need more for work. ;)
People shopping and oh my! On the left is in a department store and on the right is underground (that thing is endless, I get so confused everytime).
More casual clothing, a bit colorful though.
Some things I bought for my sister already: Mickey Mouse PJ pants & lots of earrings ($1 each).
The more traditional side of Korea. Their Hangboks (한 벜) are so pretty, I want one but I don't know what I would wear it to. Maybe in place of an Ao Dai I would wear one of these to a wedding? Haha.
SHOES! There are rows and rows of them.

There was a sale going on here and omg the madness. These girls were flipping through scarf after scarf trying to find the perfect one. I got this pretty blue one for $3!
Today right before work I had to go underground to cross the street and had my hands at these two items. -_- I need to find an alternative route and avoid this shopping area. The bag is both a purse and an across the shoulder bag, one that I have been looking for awhile. The necklace I bought just so I can wear to work today since I was looking a little plain in black and gray.
Ahhh and yes, a store dedicated to ME! =)

*Thank you SOOOOOOOO much for reading and keeping updated with me. It gets me motivated to write and makes me happy to know that I'm just not writing to the internet.
