10 month's Worth of Purchases

I figured I would catalogue all the things that I bought this year. Obviously, this doesn't include things like food, travel, alcohol, etc. This is pretty much just clothing, accessories, and make-up:

-10 pairs of 1,000 won earring from 못된고양이 = 10,000 won
- 3 pairs of not 1,000 won earrings from Forever 21 and Hongdae Free Market: 20,000 won
- 2 4,000 won necklaces from 못된고양이 = 8,000 won
- 2 5,000 won headbands from Bupyeong underground = 10,000 won
- 6 1,000 won headbands from 못된고양이 = 6,000 won
- 1 10,000 won headband from Hongdae = 10,000 won
- 2 skirts, 1 dress, 3 shirts, 1 coat from Forever 21 = 225,000 won
- 4 5,000 won t-shirts, 1 cardigan from 동인천 underground = 40,000 won
- 1 coat, 3 shirts from H&M = 150,000 won
- 2 pairs Converse Chuck Taylors (one hi-top, one low-top) = 120,000 won
- 1 pair Nike Air Legends = 60,000 won
- 1 pair Puma sneakers = 65,000 won
- 1 cardigan, 1 dress, 1 t-shirt, 1 sweater from Uniqlo = 115,000 won
- 1 t-shirt from Codes Combine = 25,000 won
- 1 sweater dress from Spao = 35,000 won
- 4 scarfs from various locations (인사동, 주안 underground, 명동)= 40,000 won
- 1 black cowl neck sweater from ehwa women's university shopping district= 25,000 won
- 2 pairs of gloves/mittens = 30,000 won
- 2 knit hats = 40,000 won
- 8 pairs of tights = 50,000 won
- 2 10,000 won purses from Bupyeong underground = 20,000 won
- 2 white, 1 blue Korea ultimate jerseys = 100,000 won
- 1 dumbfoundead t-shirt = 30,000 won
- 1 pair fake fob glasses = 10,000 won
- 20 bottles of nail polish (holy shit) = 33,000 won
- 2 lipsticks = 16,000 won
- 1 eyeshadow 4-way = 12,000 won
- 8 individual eyeshadows = 30,000 won
- black & brown eyeliner = 18,000 won
- all-over glitter = 5,000 won
- 1 dress from Thailand = 10,000 won
- 1 limited Edition silk screen t-shirt from Hongdae Free Market = 10,000
- 1 Coach wristlet = 60,000 won
- 2 belts = 15,000 won

Grand total: 1,418,000 won.

Now, I'm sure I've forgotten several things. Probably more than several. And of course, my prices are estimates. Some things I know for sure (eyeshadow 4-way, earrings, nailpolish, coach wristlet) and others are estimates (some more generous than others... I def over-priced some things, I def under-priced somethings). also, this doesn't include other purchases such as a cactus (I needed company), new comforter/sheets,

Now, add in my tattoo and my computer, and the roughly 150,000 won I've spent on Hello Kitty shit (sad, but true) and those purchases total out to 3,500,000 won, which is roughly 2 months of my salary (after taxes). I have spent 20% (2 out of 10 total months) of my pay on shit like clothing and make-up. Oh. My. Fucking. God.

I guess I should look at it this way: I got a lot of cool new shit. Actually, I should look at it this way: what the fuck is wrong with me and my addiction to buying shit?

That's depressing.

xoxo,
A
