I tell you, Japan had her ways of making me buy things. I thought Uniqlo was awesome, but then I realised Uniqlo had a sister store called GU and almost everything in GU was priced at 990yen (~S$12) so I went crazy at GU. Then I thought okay, Forever 21 and H&M should be priced similarly or more expensive than in Singapore right? NO, I WAS SO SO SO SO WRONG. Forever 21 pricing was just the direct exchange rate of US$ versus Japanese Yen. So if something was US$12.80, it will be 1280yen in Japan's Forever 21. THAT IS CRAZY. Like got no tax meh? I found a pair of shorts (upcoming in next haul post!) that was 1780yen (US$17.80) and it can easily be priced at S$59 in Singapore. WALAO SINGAPORE FOREVER 21 WHY YOU LIKE THIS?! Also, H&M was cheaper. A normally S$17.90 shirt is around S$14.90 in Japan. And yes, I'm scary like that, I can remember the prices from local stores because I frequent them so much and I grumble at the prices so much.
Then Japan has Pokemon Centres, money fly away. Then Japan has Studio Ghibli stores, money fly away again.
See? How to not spend money in Japan?
A set of pretty socks from GU for 490yen. 5 pairs of socks for ~S$6. BUY.
I went a little Eevee crazy in the Pokemon Centre. HAHA. I love Eevee and all its evolutions (maybe I don't like Vaporeon as much), so I had to get almost everything!! Socks, pencil with Eevee tail (CUTEEEE), makeup pouch and many many files (not in photo).
More socks. :D
My finger thingamajingz (I just created that word out of nowhere) from Studio Ghibli. Why did I buy them? I completely have no idea. I figure they make nice decorations? But now I realise I have no space to display them. I AM A GENIUS. Maybe I should visit Daiso soon.
Forever 21 accessories. The accessories were so affordable! As I said F21 is much cheaper in Japan than in Singapore. :')
The arrow necklace was 180 yen. 180 YEN! S$2.25!! Confirm priced at S$7 here loh. =_=
Loving everything that I got. I can't wait for work to start so I can use my Eevee files. HAHAHAHA. Next up is my fashion haul post! Brace yourself for that one because it's gonna be HUGE. :D YAY!
