I can have my dress, and my bada$$, too.

Dress-street vendor in the streets of Seoul. Leather Jacket- Dongdaeumun, Seoul. Shoes-H&M.


I bought this dress from a lady who haggled me everyday at Sinchon Exit 3 Subway. I suppose darting my curious eyes at the collection of dresses and sweaters is largely to blame. She told me that it is how she made a living and to "take it home, try it on, and if you don't like it..return it" (in Korean of course). Well, I did frequent the vendor, but to her satisfaction and my gratification, never returned the dress.


This outfit is perhaps the epitome of Korean style. A feminine dress with asymmetrical cut, combination of fabric: sheer and cotton, and statement leather jacket. This is my simple look for a “hi I want to twirl in my dress but yo look at my jacket, don’t mess with me” style.
