I gotta say, when I think about my top 10 favorite stores (yeah, 10 is excessive, but it is what it is) to shop for clothes, Walmart definitely isn't on the list. But when I think about where I normally do shop for clothes, Walmart makes the top 5. Because, you see, I live in the Midwest, and as much as I hate to admit it - we go to Walmart - a lot. Between diapers and food and toiletries it seems like we're making a trip about once a week, sometimes more. I'll blame it on my kids, because I don't remember basically living at Walmart before we had them. Calm down, they're totally worth it ;)
Walmart kind of gets a bad rap & I'm not exactly sure why, but because of this I think a lot of bloggers stay away. Since our move to Kansas I've found myself exploring their clothing section a lot more. Especially since my favorite stores are a couple hours away. While most of Walmart's selection is probably what you'd expect, from time to time I find some awesome pieces, and I'm excited to share those with you today!
FYI, this post isn't sponsored by Walmart. Just little old me trying to find cheap, cute clothes. I dig a good challenge, and for some reason I feel like I'm discovering hidden treasure when I find something cute at Walmart!
Recently, hats have become part of my momiform. I put this hat on to take these pictures and Everett said: "Mommy, are we going to the park? Let me get my shoes!" Apparently I wear hats every time we go to the park these days, haha. I found a goldmine of hats at good old Wally World the other day. They had so many great colors, and the best part? They were only 3 bucks a pop, so obviously I got a few... I sifted through a bunch of crap online, but I couldn't find the exact hats. I bought mine in store, and there were a bunch of solid colors to choose from for $2.97 a piece.
This dress. I saw this dress at Walmart and had to stop and ask myself where I was. If I saw someone else wearing this dress my first guess as to where they got it would be a cute online boutique, and then maybe Target after that. I have a recurring dream that my closet is full of brand new shoes and it feels so realistic that I have to check my closet when I wake up only to find that all the shoes are gone. Well, I got this same feeling when I bought this dress, I was pretty sure it was going to disappear at some point when I woke up. How much would you pay for this dress? I've seen similar for $30+. I snagged this one for $14. YUP.
And in the very same section I found this beauty-of-a shirt too! I really hit the jackpot that day, I must have had some good karma stored up. They had a few different colors, and while I almost got white, I'm a sucker for a good jean shirt. And, let's get real, white with kiddos can be just a tad difficult. I paid $14 for this baby & it's on clearance now for $12.
I genuinely love these outfits, and the fact that they were so cheap makes me love them even more. Thanks, Wally, for sometimes making some amazingly cute clothes. You da best.
