District Gal BLOG www.districtgal.com NAME Yvette Cruz, 30 COUNTRY From Chicago, USA now living in Seoul, South Korea TREND Colored denim and checkered patterns All the fashion kids in South Korea love wearing check-patterned blouses. They’ll tie them around their waist with layered tees. Colored denim has also become the newest obsession. In 2014 they’re following colorful trendsetting designer collections. Tartan, mint green and cobalt blues are hot this season – the pops of color compliment coats and booties. Find a nice inexpensive pair of colored jeans at a trendy thrift shop to give the trend a try. If the style isn’t working for you, don’t feel guilty since they only cost a few bucks. I am a Girl Gone International because... It makes my heart beat faster. Living in another country has filled my mind with endless ‘happy thoughts’. My experiences in Asia, specifically Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam have changed my life, specifically my diet. I can’t imagine the day Kimchi (Korean spicy cabbage) isn’t within reach, my body will certainly go into shock.
