Being from a city, I didn't grow up near a Walmart like a lot of people in the suburbs did, so my first experience going to one wasn't until middle school. I remember being completely in awe of how massive it was—wide-eyed, ready to go through every aisle, and honestly, a little overstimulated by the sheer amount of stuff.
More recently, one of my friends who lives upstate in New York has made a monthly tradition out of stopping at her local Walmart to pick up a $5 DVD and a frozen pizza, since it's one of the closest stores to her. Last time I visited, I went with her, excited to re-experience the childlike wonder. Naturally, I gravitated to the clothing section—I just love the simple little joy of sifting for hidden gems that are unexpectedly chic and affordable. Here's what I found.
This was my favorite find.
Kitten heel sandals are the perfect spring and summer shoes.
A spring maxi dress.
As are midi skirts.
I love all of their contour tank tops.
I was shocked to find this milkmaid dress.
This color is fun.
If you're looking for a trench coat.
There's no shortage of basics.
Another spring shoe staple.
Only $9?
And $12 for a mock-neck?
I'm always wanting more tank tops.
Cute.
