Walmart Finds

Over spring break I took a trip to Walmart in Troy, which is sort of a long story that doesn’t really matter here, so…. I’m gonna skip the story and get right to the goods.

Time and Tru Flutter Sleeve Dress

I originally fell in love with the purple version of this dress when I saw it on an influencer, but when I was walking through the store in Troy, I saw the blue on the rack and scooped it right up. It’s loose, you pull it right over your head, it has pockets, it comes in four colorways, and it’s $15.88. I’m going to be wearing this a lot this spring and summer. It’s cute with sneakers, sandals, and heels. I haven’t seen it in our Walmart, but it’s linked here. It fits TTS and is definitely longer on me as you can see at the top of the page. I imagine the model here is 5’9 or 5’10 making it look much shorter.

Time and Tru Braided Low Block Heel Sandals

These nude heels are right on trend with the puffy, braided, quilted look. They will elevate any look be it a dress or jeans and a tee. I think these are a great way to try out a fun trend without breaking the bank. They’re just $20! They don’t come in half sizes, so I decided to size up the half size, and they fit perfectly. The low heel means they are comfortable and can be worn for many occasions and longer lengths of time. I haven’t seen these in our Walmart either, but I linked them for you here. With most ankle strap shoes, I usually get a blister or at least some irritation. That’s why you must get the Body Glide anti-chafing stick. I know it’s meant for your thighs, but trust me on this one. You’ll never have another blister if you apply this before putting your shoes on.

Time and Tru Leopard Flats

These flats have been in circulation for quite some time in most Walmart stores, and I do believe we still have some in our store. I found my size on clearance for $5.00 in the Troy store (found online here for $9) and figured I could wear them now or save them for next fall/winter. They fit TTS and even come in wide width and in a plethora of colors. Leopard is a neutral in my opinion, so I’ll always want a pair of leopard flats. These have a pointed toe but still feel casual. Check your local store if these interest you and you want the clearance price. $9.00 is a fair price, though, in my opinion.

Cover Girl Last Blast Clean Mascara

Why is finding a good mascara so hard? I feel like I’ve tried so many and still haven’t found one I’m loyal to. I mean, I’ve been wearing makeup on a daily basis for nearly twenty years now. It shouldn’t be so difficult. Then throw in that I’m trying to clean up my makeup routine, and things just got even harder! Enter Lash Blast Clean. Now, I’m not raving about this product because it’s only just as good as the rest of the good ones I’ve tried. I don’t love the brush, but that’s my main dislike. The product is actually pretty good. I do apply 2-3 coats to give me longer lashes, but I feel that’s typical for most drugstore mascaras.
If you’re wondering why I don’t use Beautycounter’s mascara, it’s because it just didn’t work for me, and I have tried both kinds…multiple times. However, I know people who love it, but it’s more of a minimalist mascara look, and well, I’m just not really a minimalist kind of gal. 🙂

It wasn’t a big haul, but it packs a punch for this upcoming season. I hope our Walmart gets those dresses soon. They are so much cuter in person! Okay, y’all, go have a good day!

Current Obsession: Dainty Necklaces

Accessories can make or break an outfit, but one sure fire way to make your outfit is by adding a dainty necklace or two. It helps you look put together and like you put some thought into finishing your look even if you totally didn’t. I also think it’s fun to find jewelry with meaning. Whether it’s meaningful to you or to the person you’re planning to gift a piece of jewelry to, when it represents something significant, it will mean that much more every time you put it on. Not to sound all Joanna Gaines, but being intentional about your purchases, especially jewelry, especially fine jewelry, they’ll be pieces that you will want to take care of, wear often, and keep in your possession for years and possibly generations to come. Today, I’ve rounded up a few necklaces and retailers that will help complete any outfit that may need that little something extra.

Leopard for Fall and Winter

Leopard print is one of those patterns that has truly stood the test of time. We wear it year round but we tend to love it more in the fall and winter months. I think it’s because of the warm colors and the way it goes with the darker ones like plum, forest green, and mustard yellow. I raided my closet and scoured the internet for some great options for us this season and next (though it feels like winter out there right now).

Old Navy Fall Fashion Wish List

Paul recently told me I needed to cool it with the spending. Oops! In all honesty, I did make a few big purchases this past week that I wanted/had to make, and I’m pretty sure both of our iPhones are on their way out of commission. Ugh! So we’re staring down another big purchase in the near future. I probably should cool it. In the meantime, I’m going to “shop” for YOU. If ever there is a favorite time for me to shop, it’s now. Give me all the fall fashion! I was scouring the Old Navy website and found a bunch of cute fall staples that can be paired with things you already have in your closet and can be worn for months to come. Everything is linked! (These are not affiliate links. I am not that cool yet, but if you guys keep engaging with me here and on Instagram, then I’ll be able to provide those for y’all soon, hopefully!)

Snakeskin Mules Under $20

I have to admit that I resisted this trend for a while. I thought maybe snakeskin wasn’t for me. Then the Nordstrom Anniversary sale happened and I thought I needed these booties.

But the price…I couldn’t justify $100 on shoes that I wasn’t sure I’d absolutely love.

The Tank Top You Need Now!

Ladies, I have hit the tank top lottery! It’s modest, lightweight, breathable, soft, and extremely versatile. And here’s the best part: it’s under $5!!! Yes, my friends, this tank top is from our beloved Walmart. I heard my girl Meghan talking about it on her Instastories, so I knew it had to be good. She has the best finds from Walmart, y’all. Anyway, she was showing the black one, so I went out and picked one up the next time I made a grocery run. I literally wore it two days in a row. (I washed it.) And on that second day I went back to the store and bought another black one (I know; don’t judge.) and a white one. They come in several color ways, but you all know how I tend to stick to neutrals.

Crafty Earring DIY Round 2

Hi, friends! Summer always puts me in a crafty mood. I’m currently trying to figure out how I can rearrange my spare bedroom by myself while Paul’s at work. Though it won’t really matter when he gets home because his leg is broken. I’ve got some brainstorming to do…

Back to the real crafting. I am such an accessories girl. Give me all the earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and rings. You name it, and I likely want it. I usually do an annual purge of my jewelry, and in my last one I decided to keep this pair of earrings even though I wasn’t wearing them.

The Wear Color Challenge || What I Wore This Week (Part 4)

Hi, friends! Four weeks! I still have a few more days in April, but I did it! Well, I didn’t successfully wear color every day, but I came pretty darn close. This particular week was a bit of a crazy one because we were leading up to my brother’s wedding this past weekend, so all those outfits are included here, too.
