Yet another Gmarket Order

one of my smaller Gmarket orders
I again bought a few items on Gmarket!  I couldn't seem to find a nice orange blazer locally so I turned to Gmarket and found it!  I also picked up a pair of orange jeans, jean shirt and a pair of nude fabric flats.  This was one of my smaller online orders from Korea..lol

Lets start with the flats(with slight wedge)!  I ordered a size 245 instead of a 240 which is roughly a size 8 US.  Last time I bought a size 240(size 7 US) and it felt a tad tight.  This shoe is a little loose but wearing an insert makes it perfect! It's so cute that is is not plain flats, this shoe has a slight wedge...I was totally not aware of that fact until I unboxed it.  There is not much of a grip on the bottom though...perhaps I will need to buy a non slip sticker for the bottom of the shoe.  I really like the hint of stripes in the shoe that slightly shows when you wear them.  They remind me of my leopard toms flats with the fuchsia silk lining. This shoe is so versatile! :D
It was roughly $14.00USD,  not including shipping.

there is a hidden wedge inside!
cute cute cute stripes on the inside of the shoes
not much grip on soles
you can kind of see the lining
Lets get to my orange blazer!  It's a bright orange with patterned lining.  It's fairly light weight as it is intended for spring, summer wear.  It's a boxy boyish fit and goes passed my bum.  It's fairly cute and I am pleased with this purchase as well.  I love all the blazers I have bought from Gmarket, they never feel cheap at all and costs significantly less then what I can get locally in Vancouver or even from the States.  Forever 21 blazers feel cheap and H&M blazers dont fit my body very well.  Aritzia blazers are of good quality but are roughly $100.00CAD+ and they also dont fit me too nicely.  I have trouble with the bust, when the rest of the blazer fits, I cant seem to button the blazer because of the bust size, when I try on a larger size and it fits the bust, then the rest is too big.  This orange blazer came in the below package and came with a hanger!
This blazer was roughly $21.00USD without shipping

came exactly like this but folded, it was already on the hanger
taken out of the plastic
cute silky patterned fabric inside
nice detailing on the button
I guess the brand is Irine..lol
I like my blazer's arms folded up
another long boyfriend blazer!
Next is the jean shirt.  I thought is was pretty cute with the lace detailing on the collar.  The length is long and can be worn with leggings.  The material is pretty nice and thick.  I dont love this shirt but it's okay for the fact that I have trouble finding cheap jean material shirts that is long enough to cover the bum.
The shirt was about $12.00USD, not including shipping

pretty lace detail on collar
Remember I said I bought a size 28 jeans from Gmarket?  They were the orange jeans below!  Ironically they fit perfectly!!  I wear a size 26 in the forever 21 and H&M pants and I wear a size 2-6 in AE jeans, depending on the jeans and this size 28 Korean jeans fits perfectly.  Sorry for the bad pictures, my legs looks so short because of the angle.  These jeans are not cheap material, its reasonably thick and its not too bright.
The jeans were roughly $18.00USD, shipping not included.

    1. Hi Monya Walker,

      Well I guess you can match up the item that you want to buy and search for it in the drop down bar..but I know that it gets pretty overwhelming...perhaps zipia.net might work better for you than Gmarket?

    1. The blazers I buy are a size 66. I buy size 66 because it fits better around my bust. The size 55 I cant button up at my bust..lol
      Size 66 to me feels like a size s-m whereas a size 55 fits like a xs-s.
