Shopping at a Walmart Superstore!!
So when I was away recently, I went shopping in a Walmart Superstore.
I normally shy away from Walmart for a various and sundry reasons, but this time I went with a friend and was quite impressed with the "superstore" concept.
For one thing, the selection in the clothing section was so much larger than a regular store.....which brings me to my topic....new clothes!!
Yes, I actually bought some new clothes in styles that I normally don't wear.
My clothing store of choice has always been Penningtons (and their affiliates)...
My tops have been long, straight, and easy to keep clean.
So....this actually started at Penningtons...I got a shorter top with and different neckline in a brighter colour. It looked great and garnered some positive comments....thus setting the stage for a bit of a makeover!!
So when I hit Walmart, my friend (who has a great fashion sense for "women of an age" as I call us), picked out some tops and pants for me. I tried them on and was quite amazed at how it changed my whole look for the better. Granted, the quality probably is not as good on some, but will last the summer quite well with careful washing and the pants....well, for someone who loves stretch material....these were a total change. Lightweight cotton with roll up legs so you have the choice of capris or full length....and a beige-khaki type colour.....so pretty much goes with everything. It was all very reasonably priced, so I'm kinda tickled !!
So now the task at hand is to sort through all my summer clothes and give the boot to some of the more worn ones (frayed at the seams etc.....) and make some room in my drawers for "new stock"
Slainte!!
