Hello from Korea!

Anyeong from Korea and Happy late Thanksgiving! It's super freezing here - I've never been this cold! These past few days have been 20-25°F, and after being spoiled by the warm California weather, I was definitely not ready for this. 


To try and stay warm I packed a lot sweaters, my H&M jacket (here), and my blue J.Crew jacket. Unfortunately the XS petite size doesn't allow for much layering since it's form fitting, so I couldn't really move my arms and shoulders much after layering on a few sweaters. However, it really does help block out the wind. So a note for you ladies who are planning to endure weather below 30°F, get a size up to account for layering. I went on a hunt for a warmer jacket that also fit nicely and ended up finding a long down coat from Uniqlo that was super comfortable and fit perfectly!


On our first day we headed to Gyeong Bok Gung, the main royal palace of the Joseon Dynasty. It was similar to the Forbidden City in Beijing but on a smaller scale. I wish it wasn't so cold as I would of loved to enjoy the picturesque gardens and walkways a bit longer.
Outfit: Corso Como Laura Over the Knee Boots (here), Ann Taylor scarf (here), J.CREW peacoat (here), Uniqlo (mentioned here) and Tory Burch Kira Quilted Crossbody Bag (here)
