Yeoju Premium Outlets
Yesterday I went to the Premium Outlets in Yeoju to see if I could find some jeans. As most of you know I had lost about 30 pounds (since February) before leaving for Korea. Well in my first month I lost another 10 pounds, which is great but the limited number of jeans I brought no longer fit me so I have been relegated to wearing dresses and skirts. Needless to day, when I got my first paycheck I decided to go shopping for pants. This outlet is awesome (http://www.premiumoutlets.co.kr/eng/01_centers/main_yeoju.asp), with all sorts of high end brands and brands that are hard to find anywhere else in Korea. I mean Gap and Banana Republic only have 2 stores in all of Korea. However, I am still considered big in Korea (a size 8), so finding jeans was not fun. I found some really awesome jeans at Guess but they did not have my size (the size up and a size down but not my size!). :( Oh well. After about an hour of looking throughout different shops, I gave up. The person I was with wanted to go to the other "less expensive" outlets across the street because he wanted to get some Lotteria (which is a fast food burger chain from Japan: but the Koreans think is theirs: No idea!?). The reason these stores are considered "less expensive" is because 1. they are and 2. they are all Korean brands and stores. So I thought why the heck not. In my first shop I found some jeans and tried them on, they were great! Weird how American brands didn't fit or were wrong sizing but I go into a Korean store and bam I am done. I was so happy! I decided to get two pairs of pants and this really cute sweater. The biggest thing, though, is I can finally wear pants to work and half of my wardrobe!!! So excited!
