i hate monday

korean socks that manage to be adorable (jin jjah kiawa!) without resorting to the overuse of cartoon animals!  considering that 90% of life in korea takes place minus shoes, i hate monday is a godsend for those who have begun to tire of hello kitty, shin-chan or (heaven forbid!) the rainbow sock wall at uniqlo.  

equally adorable packaging

i picked up a pair at a kitschy design shop in the hongdae area of seoul (more on hongdae coming soon!).  also for sale: plastic men in downward-facing dog position that hold the top of your instant ramen in place, disgruntled stress balls and the occasional item whose purpose was sadly lost in (a lack of) translation.

apparently i hate monday also has a sock vending machine somewhere in seoul, which, it goes without saying, must be tracked down and pillaged.
