Be more stylish

Yesterday I finally bought two new purses. One was 40,000 won ($26). It was more than I wanted to spend, but it was the most attractive one. It is very stylish and it beats my little Vespa tote bag, especially for going out to nice places. I also found a larger purse in the clearance bin for only 9,000 won. It will replace my bag that I take to work each day—that bag has holes in it and the cloth is faded and I was starting to feel embarrassed for taking such a dingy bag to work.

I also found a tan cardigan in a clearance bin for 4,000 won.

I’ve been trying to wear mascara everyday so my face doesn’t look totally washed out. I want to get some tinted lip gloss but I’m anxious about shopping in Korea—the salespeople swarm you everywhere, even if you don’t speak the language.

I used to be complimented on my clothes and style but for a long time, I was broke & depressed and my sense of style went out of the window. Now I’m neither broke nor depressed but I still dress frumpy.

My goal is to start buying clothing, jewelry and makeup. I’d like to buy one piece of clothing, jewelry and makeup a month for the next year.
