Shopping Diary: Muave Pink Butterfly Top + Earrings Haul

I've discovered a new favorite boutique. It's in the shopping center (near the night market) that I told you about a few posts earlier. The name is "ViVi". A few times I passed through this boutique, it looked too crowded with shoppers that I decided against going in there for the ladies' elbow war. Now that I've seen the cute stuff on their racks, I know I'll be back for sure. This is what I got: a muave pink geisha/butterfly sleeves top. I love the oversize butterfly sleeves, the nude shade, and how well it goes with a pair of denim jeans. I haven't worn this top yet, hence the lack of a photo to show you how feminine and romantic this top truely really is. But you'll see me in this top soon as I can't wait to put this on for a date with hubby.









I also ventured into the night market for a little treasure hunting. A low-price accessory store had these earrings on sale. Wow..on sale items at a low-price store... we're talking low low low pricing! I snatched 3 pairs which cost less than the 3+ hrs parking. Not too thrilled about paying for parking fees while shopping, but glad I did find something I like.

Shopping Diary: Peachy Pink Checker Ruffle Top

I thought I'd let you all in on the fun I have shopping in Taiwan. Going back a few years, Gap/Express/Banana Republic used to be where I satisfy my shopping cravings. But being an Asian girl, shopping in Taipei should be way more fun than the malls in the States, right? I'll attempt to blog more about the many fantastic boutiques and shops I go here, while at the same time trying not go broke..ha!





"Chocolate", conveniently located near hubby's work place, is a clothing boutique specializing in Korea imports. Here's a view of the strip mall nearby. This is one of my favorite areas of the city because of the strip mall.








The storefront with its display window:


This is what I got a few weeks ago from there. A very romantic peachy pink checker ruffle top. "Chocolate" tend to stock very feminine, very girly, semi-formal pieces, mostly from Korea.

I paired the top with a pair of denim short shorts from my own eBay store. I'm carrying a Powder Pink Bowtie Dumpling Tote. And you're not seeing my feet because I had on my flipflops coz I was intending to walk a lot and do some shopping - a pair of high heels/wedges would have been a better choice for my look.
