Nooo!! I’m so sad, JUSCO is closing! JUSCO is a chain of Japanese department stores that I absolutely loveee. Not only do they have tons of shopping places, but as a kid I loved going to the arcade there! All my past trips were filled with countless trips to the massive department store, and I spent so much time there! JUSCO was like the only store in Japan I knew of as a kid (besides the Dollar Store … stay tuned for a video about those!!) so it’s so sad they are closing them all down :(. But there’s some good news! There is a JUSCO near my apartment, and it is officially closing on January 31, 2018 so EVERYTHING is on sale! So I have a pretty nice haul from my last shopping trip to JUSCO! And the grand total was less than 7,500 yen ($75), so that’s always a plus!

First things first, most JUSCOs have a Mister Donut inside, and I actually love donuts so much! I don’t like strawberries at all, but this is the only place I will eat a strawberry donut because I like it so much! Their donuts are different too, they are almost sticky or seem like they have a mochi characteristic to them. This time, the first of many, I just stuck with a classic donut though!

So I’ve been looking for a nice Denim skirt everywhere, and I ordered a really nice one from Forever 21, but it didn’t fit properly, so I was back to square one. But, I found one at JUSCO! It was so cheap too because of all the sales! I got it from Earth Music & Ecology, which is a popular Japanese clothing line. It is super cute and I found a nice sweater from Pentagon to match it! The maroon hat is a cute accessory to add a little colour to the outfit! Love it!

Then I found this pink sweater / sweater dress and grey hat with a pom pom on it, super cute too! I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be a dress or not because it’s a large size so not sure if it’s just big on me or is supposed to be longer but I’m going to wear it as a long top! It’s a nice pastel pink (more pastel than the picture indicates) and stripes are apparently my thing right now.

So Japan is a lot colder than I thought it would be, and I only brought my thin mock Trench coat from Forever 21, so I needed a warmer jacket. I found a jacket at Earth Music & Ecology, and the sale price was 4,000 yen down from 11,600 yen, and I was going to buy it but I didn’t want to carry it around while I shopped so I just figured I would come back for it. When I finally looped back around, all the signs had changed and everything was on a 1 hour timed super sale! So I ended up buying 2 jackets, totaling to 3,000 yen!! It was such a good deal it almost seemed wrong not to buy them. So now I have 2 cute cozy jackets!

Last thing, I also bought this super soft minty sweater, and this hexagon necklace (ironically from Pentagon). I bought the necklace because I study Nanotechnology Engineering at university, and it looks like carbon rings, so I’m calling it my Nano-Necklace. (For any of you that know where I go to school you know that it is plastered across the entire building I study in. And for my fellow geeks, the first thought that came to mind when I saw the necklace was that it looks like a steroid / cholesterol molecule :P).

Anyways that’s my final JUSCO haul for ever I guess! Hope you enjoyed 🙂
