View post on imgur.comCan you spend only RM100 for 1 week worth of work wear? Well, I can. Ever since Jalan Jalan Japan first opened in Malaysia way back in 2016, I have been buying nearly all my clothes here. Yes, this is a preloved store with all kinds of things from Japan, mainly clothes for ladies, men and kids, baby item, kitchenware, furniture, toys and camping gear. It has just about everything. The only thing is you need to shop with an open mind, and you need time to search for your treasure.
Last week, I was there to look mainly for clothes for office wear. Most of the clothes are in mint condition, but do take time to check every piece properly. They do have changing rooms here, so I always try it before buying it. For RM100, I managed to come out with a few looks and even two branded handbags. Check it out.

You might have heard that most Japanese people are slim, therefore, there are lots of S sizes in JJJ. However, there are quite a number of L sizes clothing as well, as Japanese also love to wear lose fitting clothes.

View post on imgur.comI fell in love this this bag from Lookinn Japan. It was a little pricier at RM40 but being totally flawless, I just had to get it.
View post on imgur.comWell, original Lookinn bags goes for over RM200 and we also can’t get it in Malaysia. In the same photo is a baby blue cardigan from Uniqlo for RM10.

Yes, I do get all my jackets whenever I have to travel. Instead of spending all my money on 1 look that cost RM100, I get 6 looks for under RM100.
View post on imgur.comFor those with boys in the house, there is a galore of Japanese toys available here. My boys are so into Beyblades recently, but we won’t get them the China fakes. So in JJJ, put another kids’ preloved toys to good use by getting the original Japanese Beyblades, they only go for about RM3 each.
Mean while, JJJ has opened more branches all across Malaysia and I am so excited that the latest one will open in Kip Mall Bangi which means that is where you will find me every weekend.
