Some of you may or may not know about my strong dislike of Walmart. It really began when I was in college at OBU. You see, that Walmart was disgusting and small and I got easily annoyed with the people inside of the store. Then, my luck followed me to K-State and it was the same story, just a different town. Thankfully, Manhattan had a Target and I didn't have to frequent the ol' Walmart too often. Once I moved to Wichita, I pretty much avoided Walmart for the same reasons - cramped, crazy people, etc. The only reasons I ever went to the store were for paint or an occasional visit to the lawn and garden department, which has an entirely seperate entrance.
However, over the past few months or weeks, I've been trying to give Walmart another chance. The store near my house did some renovations and opened it up a little bit and they've started carrying a few more housewares products that I like. We also purchased a television for our kitchen online and were pleasantly surprised with the ease of ordering and the prompt delivery. But, my real turn around occurred within the past week.
I was browsing around a couple of blogs and came across a blog of a girl (a girl I don't know) who I thought dressed pretty cute. She always had fun dresses or tops in her pictures, and one day she was discussing bargain shopping. As I got to the bottom of the blog, my mouth dropped - she shops at Walmart!!! So, being a curious person, I headed over to walmart.com and found a few dresses that I just had to have and to make it even better, they were like $11! So, last week, I made my way to the Site to Store section of our local Walmart to pick up my purchases and I am here to tell you, I'm a new fan! Behold, my newest Walmart purchases:
The weather hasn't been nice enough for me to wear either of these items yet, but I'm ready!
I've also purchased a couple of cute cardigans in recent days, that are affordable and cute. Unfortunately, they are sold out so I don't have a picture. But, here are a couple of things I've been eyeing and just might have to snag while they are on sale!
Seriously, none of these things are more than $10 online!
So, my lesson for today - give second chances! You may be pleasantly surprised!
Oh yeah, Megan - this post is dedicated to you :)

Wow! I am impressed. I admit that I've thought about looking at clothes at Walmart, but was afraid that someone might see me. :) Those clothes are cute!! Do they fit nice?
