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!

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 Wear Color Challenge || What I Wore This Week (Part 1)

Since the great closet clean out of 2019, I was left with a whole foot of closet real estate. This also meant that I had parted with many of the options I had been leaving myself. I still have plenty to wear, but in an effort to really see what I have and wear, I’ve decided to document my daily outfits whether it be work or play. My goal is to figure out what I wear most, what I need more of, and what I do not/did not wear at all during the month of April.
