Before my trip to Seoul in October, I was worried about not being able to withstand the cold. I had a very bad experience many years ago while in Cameron Highlands in December. I didn’t anticipate that it’ll be that cold so I didn’t bring any sweaters at all. Alas, I caught a very bad cold and I became asthmatic. It’s under control now and I am very careful with cold/flu.
Ever since that experience, I am paranoid when it gets cold because I am worried that it may trigger the asthmatic symptoms. So months before my trip to Seoul, I have been buying knitwear from my favourite neighbourhood stalls. Yes, the stalls that sell branded clothes for less that is bringing me lots of joy also have knitwear and sweaters too. All the clothes are new and are stock overrun from the factories in Bangladesh that produce clothing for brands like Zara, New Look, Primark, Esprit, MNG, American Eagle, and many more from Europe and Japan. What’s best is that they all cost RM15 a piece. What a steal right? Below are some of the outfits I wore in Seoul.
Blue sweater with wide leg denim. Yes the denim is also from Ah Fatt’s stall.
Chunky black sweater with grey knit skirt
Grey turtleneck dress
Long sleeve denim top
All the knitwear are very good quality and they kept me warm. I just wore a heatech underneath and it’s enough without a jacket for temperatures between 8 to 18 degree C.
