A Teacher in Korea's Obsession with K Fashion

Posted on Mon, Aug 20, 2012 @ 11:36 AM

I am currently obsessed with the Korean style, so much that I have been spending a lot of money shopping here while teaching English in Korea. There is definitely no harm in shopping, especially to add a new touch to a girl's closet. With this said, I have been obsessed with Mootta, a website that was recently launched in Korea, bringing South Korean fashion to the rest of the world. It is a fresh and innovative website that brings the world South Korea's trend setting fashion designers. Collections consist of a mix and match between designers to fill your closet with goodies from the head down. 

One thing to keep in mind when shopping in Korea is that almost all clothing is Free Size. I have recently touched about it here. Not all women have the same curves in the same area so it can be a bit frustrating when shopping. I am grateful that Mootta offers a handful of stylish pieces that are not free size which makes shopping in Korea easier.

This easy to work website is in English (great for English teachers here in Korea!), providing you with photos for all their looks, a collaboration of all designers to complete your everyday wardrobe. The best part about Mootta is their extremely quick and easy international shipping which reaches the United States within 3 days and the rest of the world up to 7 days. Shopping internationally has never been so easy and limited to one region. I love that they are trendy and it is exactly what the Korean celebrities are wearing as well!

A few recommendations that I am obsessed with is the Pocket Tank which reflects the loose fitting style in Korea, the Lounge 8Eight White Pants which is cropped at the ankle, a perfect match with heels, Hayley Kiel's Mic clutch, and of course a handful of the Vintage Hollywood accessories that are trending in Korea: the Crown Skull Bracelet, the Lindsay Wish Two-Way Bracelet, and the Lindsay Leather Bracelets

Graduating with a double major in Communication and Chinese from Rutgers University, it wasn’t long after working in the Big Apple that Cindy Ung decided to take a break from the cliché 9-5 lifestyle and move to Korea to teach English for CDI. Making the bold step to leave her comfortable, mapped out life in the States, she has fallen more in love with the Korean culture as each day passes.  With weekly mountain hikes, weekend road trips, discovering great foods and beauty products, constantly meeting new people, her life in Korea has been everything but mapped out.
