Can We Talk About Walmart!?

I mean really, Walmart is SERIOUSLY upping their game. I have always loved a deal, and honestly try hard not to spend money on clothes…. Which is funny that I’m blogging about fashion. Sorry!

We moved to a tiny town in Iowa and there are two cute boutiques, but otherwise the “big city’ is FAR away. The Walmart closest to us is a 30 minutes drive, so you can bet-your-booty that while I’m shopping for groceries, I sneak to the clothing isle on the reg. It goes on the food budget if its from a grocery store right?

You may be just like me… I had inborn aversions to buying clothes at “the Mart” but the more I took a closer look at their clothes, the more I was truly impressed!

 

 

This thermal is one of my all-time favorites! Suggested to me by one of my favorite followers on Instagram I literally went to the store the next day to check them out. I got a “Large” to cover my extra fluffy areas (if you know what I mean).

Here is the gem in black. I could wear this thing anywhere and everywhere! By the way, click on that link and follow me in the “Like to Know It” app! I promise you wont be disappointed!

This duster is one of my favorites. I have about 10 dusters and the two I have from Walmart are my ultimate go-to’s. I have it in two colors and I want it in every color. Do yourself a favor and add this to your wardrobe. It will instantly up your game and most definitely add a pep to your step.

Can you even!? When you click the images above, you will find other favorites of mine I have styled (who am I kidding….) THROWN ON to get ready for my day quickly. As always, I hope you will consider taking a few moments for  yourself in the morning to get dressed, and next time you are in Walmart, check out the cute clothes… you won’t be sorry.

Scroll through the items below and you will find just a few of my most favorite and coveted items from Walmart! The best part is, if you don’t have time to shop, you can always have your goodies shipped to the store at no charge!

Be the Best (Dressed) Version of Yourself

Be your best (dressed) self. Every day when I wake up, get dressed and do my hair and make up, it’s sort of like a precious gift I get to give myself. For years, I’ve found it really important to set my alarm a tad bit earlier each morning to set apart time for prayer and meditation but now I add a little extra to care for my body.

I really believe that feeling beautiful changes your perspective on the whole day. Your head is held just a little higher, you make time for your friends and relationships and you walk in confidence, knowing you’re ready for just about anything! Honestly, I find myself screening phone calls, canceling lunch plans and staying in my house when I look like a mess. Have you ever noticed this?!

I have had tons of women tell me they are joining me in the quest to be the best version of themselves everyday and that gives me such JOY! I believe fashion isn’t necessarily the newest trends, the coolest shoes or the most expensive bags but rather wearing clothes that fit and make you feel good about yourself. For so long I would neglect myself and my appearance but I have noticed that my best days are those that I throw on some of my favorite go-to basics and jazz it up a little with a cute shoe or earring.

I wouldn’t have thought of this myself but a cute follower on Instagram messaged me and told me how I was encouraging her to go from looking homeless, to looking happy. How cute is that? I have SO been there… Those days where its been XX days since you washed your hair, and you may or may not have worn the same pair of leggings 3 days in a row. Being your best self is a decision you GET to make for yourself each day.

Set apart some time tomorrow morning to get dressed, do it then comment below and let me know how it goes. Better yet, hashtag #getdressedgirl on Instagram so we can all share in the fun! Find out if it eases your AM schedule to prepare for this by choosing an outfit or showering the night before. You are a work in progress and a beautiful one at that!
