Got Style: Korea

Here is a post I wrote when I was maybe six months into my year in South Korea about fantastic fashion in Korea. I'd like to add hiking attire to the list of great, iconic Korean looks.

Your Own Beauty

As my dental bills loom over what might have been in my bank account, I think about how my definition of beauty and style has evolved. I have become more willing to recognize that I do care about how I look because I am proud of the attributes I have. I like dressing to impress myself. 

With that, I am more willing to invest into that look nowadays. My dental work, while much was medical (root canals and cavities), a large portion of that work was bridging over gaps left by four baby teeth with no permanent teeth to back them up. I was getting by - eating steak, popcorn, and everything else. But at the end of my treatment, the dentist said to me, "Now your eating is much more comfortable and easy." I must also say, my bottom row of teeth has never looked prettier. 

Borrowed fashion sense

This morning I'm excited about my brand new Lifefactory turquoise waterbottle. One of the Dinos has one in orange and I knew I HAD to have one.

I'm not sure whether my outfit works this morning, but that's the beauty of working in a preschool -- one is surrounded by the fiercest dressers around. There are some serious fashionistas spilling milk and flying down the slides at CLP. I aspire to be so bold and to care so little: they shop and dress with care but don't worry about life's messes when it comes to exploring and learning. They only stop in front of mirror to wave or make faces at their reflections.

Fashion. Icons.
