10000원Korea Shopping Find~ Pretty Bow Shoes ♥

10000원 Man Won Finds!

The other day around Sillim Station I found a new 10000원 (about $10) shoe store with lots of CUTE finds! I fell in love with these pastel school girl shoes with pretty big bows~ can’t say no to stuff this cute…especially when it is only $10. Seriously!

I decided to buy the light purple, which looks adorable with the new lace socks I snagged last weekend around Edae! These are shockingly comfy as well, I just am a little paranoid about scuffing them since they are white~ but so far they have remained undamaged! yes

I also grabbed these adorable 10000원 wedges for summer~ I guess I have a thing for pastel purple atm

and I was SUPER excited that the shop also had a NICE pair of bow black high heels!!!  I bought a pink variation of these last year for around 45000원 and really wanted a black one to add to my collection since… well black goes with everything! Usually bow heels here are fugly and the bows are jacked, but these are *really* nice irl and the material takes abuse well + feel great on with a heel zipper ~ again, I bagged these babies for 10000원!

And adding to this post are some ACK ADORABLE shoes I found at this amazing shoe shop connected to the metro here (as usual). I will do a full post on the shop in another post, but for now here are the 10000원 shoes I snagged from them!!

I wanted the mint, but they only had one size left that was not mine~ damn.

Buying cute shoes for 10000원 (or anything in general, you can find so many cute things for that amount if you get good at spotting and know where to look) takes a sharp eye sometimes in Korea, but once you get good at it shopping cheap is a piece of cake.

I make it a point to stick my head in and check out the stores that are just selling this price of shoes (they slap signs everyplace outside and are often little hole in the wall places or temp set up around the metro stations) and swoop in to sift through the racks of ugly ajuma shoes + check the stitching and quality plus feel how secure the glue is.  Some shoes are butt ugly and you see why they are so cheap, but if you are fast and inspect the quality you can snag some great shoes that are often marked up to 50000won in normal stores.
