It's giving J. Crew and Boden but at a fraction of the cost. I've been sharing Walmart for years - well before they paid me to do so- but I'm still a tiny bit surprised when I find a head-to-Walmart looks that look so much more expensive and are made with quality stitching and materials. Full disclosure, Walmart sponsored an Instagram post and stories on my Instagram profile. I am not obligated to write a blog post but I like to share still photos and something more permanent (fine, and more wordy) than a reel so here are my latest Walmart fashion picks with fit and style notes!
Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post!
I initially grabbed this shorts set for this post and then immediately grabbed it in yellow. I've worn both so often (both as a regular outfit and as a swimsuit coverup) that I thought it would be fun to show you all the colors styled with different swimsuits. Matching sets are so easy, yet still feel stylish and put together. I also have always preferred shorts to a dress, as a cover up and since these come in such fun colors, they match all my swimsuits perfectly! And speaking of swimsuits, these three are all under $30 and have the cutest details! I continue to be super impressed with Walmart fashion- both style, value, and quality! Let me know which look is your favorite!

Last year the girls and I wore Walmart Fashion for the 4th of July but by the time I shared, it was nearly all sold out. I learned my lesson and am sharing early this year. And it's a good thing because it's ALL SO GOOD. I know I'm yelling but I can't believe the style and quality for the price! I've really been digging the Scoop and Free Assembly line but the Time & Tru shorts set is the literal cutest and I want it in every color! Here are my picks for Memorial day and/or the 4th of July. Oh and if you're a Walmart+ member, these items ship SO quickly. I'd love to know, which look is your fave?

Walmart does it again! The last time I worked with Walmart, I grabbed a shorts set (and here) I didn't intend to share. It just felt like a great versatile outfit to have on hand for summer. So when Walmart contacted me to work together again, I knew exactly what I'd feature- this pretty linen blend shorts set styled 3 ways. I'm picturing it for work, date night, vacation, or a school function- it's appropriate for so many occasions. I may need to grab the shorts in black too! I've felt like Walmart fashion is underrated for a long time, but they continue to step up their game. Walmart is often the first place I look when I need something - especially when I want to stretch the budget! I also want to point out that this set is Time & Tru which tends to stay in stock a little longer than Free Assembly and Scoop (other Walmart exclusive brands). Anyway, take a look and tell me- which look is your favorite?
Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post. And thank you for supporting the brands that make Pretty Real possible.
I've been searching for vacation dresses for Joe's and my anniversary trip this June and I feel like I just hit the dress lottery with the recent Walmart fashion drops. I've said it before and I'll say it again- don't sleep on Walmart fashion! It's fresh, fun, and super affordable. Oh and somehow they manage to pull off quality too! The pieces I've purchased over the past several years have worn and washed well. Here are the gorgeous budget-friendly vacation and summer dresses I found.

After Christmas, the spring fever hits hard. I want to wear pastels. I want to travel. I want an entirely fresh wardrobe. Luckily Walmart is just a click away and I can make these dreams come true. Fine, I don't totally replace my wardrobe, but at these prices, it's tempting! I shopped on Walmart to grab a few looks for our upcoming winter break, church (also would be perfect for work) and general spring things. I can't wait for you to see how far $40 gets you. Oh and I should add that I've been a fan of Walmart fashion for long enough that I can vouch for the quality. Despite the low prices, it wears and washes well. Here's what I grabbed:
I cannot believe this jumpsuit is $36. It's so cute and structured yet still comfortable. I paired it with flat espadrilles but I can't wait to dress it up with wedges.
If you don't like getting naked to go to the bathroom, here's the dress version. haha. 3 words: IT. HAS. POCKETS.
This dress sold out SO fast last year- it's back and in multiple colors! I love me a flirty cutout. Right after my pedicure next, week, I'll pair it with last year's version of these.
Hello 90s with the baby tee and denim skirt. I'm not mad at it though. I sized down in this skirt, FYI. It has some stretch to it.
I love this pastel on pastel look. The pants are SO GOOD and under $30!
I love this feminine striped sweater with the slightest ruffle sleeve. It looks like ....rhymes with K Shoe. ;) I can't believe its price!

I had given up hope. After ordering several "full coverage" suits that could only be described as LIES, I thought I'd never find a suit that was cute, flattering, fun, and covered my bum. But as is the case more and more lately, Walmart came through! I found an adorable swimsuit for under $30 plus a bunch on my weekend getaway list (happy 19th anniversary to Joe and me!), including cute PJs, and a date night dress! I always search Time & Tru, Free Assembly, Scoop, and Joyspun- all brands exclusive to Walmart that do not disappoint! Here's the try on:

It's been like 5 minutes since I shouted Walmart Fashion, so let me tell you what I'm diggin lately. First, let me say Walmart is now a legit style destination thanks to exclusive brands like Scoop, Free Assembly, and Time and Tru. My weekly grocery order often finds a piece or two from these brands 'added to cart.' The prices are incredible, the quality is legit, and the style is so good! I've grabbed a few things lately that are now sold out but here's what's still in stock:
Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post. As always, all opinions are mine!
I'm a jeans girl. I try to branch out but I'm most comfortable in denim. The problem is, wearing jeans and a tee or sweater everyday is...yawn. The fix? Switch it up by wearing jeans in different washes, silhouettes, and rises. Then pair them with something special instead of a plain tee or simple sweater. Add fun shoes, and you've got yourself a lewk. With that in mind, here's how I styled my new Free Assembly Denim from Walmart. Literally everything you see is from Walmart and I could not love it more! It's cute, on trend, affordable, and made of quality materials. Guys Walmart is showing up as a legit style destination! Oh and I share a BONUS non-denim look at the end! Ok, here we go!
Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post!
For a couple of years (maybe more?), I've been saying don't sleep on Walmart Fashion and my conviction only gets stronger as time goes on. ha! Their clothing is so cute lately- on trend, quality, fantastic prices- the trifecta. They have everything you need for holiday parties and festive gatherings so you'll be ready to celebrate! I've loved sharing some fun looks with you (here and here) and you guys have loved it too so I'm back with 4 head-to-toe Walmart holiday looks! Would love to know which is your fave! First, I give you:
Thank you for Walmart for sponsoring this post!
I'm often asked for a link to what I'm wearing and more often than I can count, it's an item from Walmart Fashion. They have such pretty styles and the quality- particularly of their Free Assembly and Time and Tru lines- is also of note! Let me be frank with you- I initially planned to share just one look but there were so many fun items that I could wear this Holiday season that 'one' ended up being four. Thankfully Walmart fashion is easy on the wallet! But let's get to it- Here's what to wear this holiday season along with styling tips and sizing notes! And make sure to check out all my picks at the end!
I have a gut. It's super annoying because my stomach was never my problem area (see the proof). And also because my "baby" is two. I'm working on not feeling the need to hide my imperfections but I think there's a happy spot between being ashamed of our bodies and being oblivious to how clothes flatter or flaunt our flaws. I've been told repeatedly that people "can't believe" I have a mom pooch (For the record, I hate that term but it's really the best way to describe it). I've even felt the need to show it off to prove I'm not just fishing for compliments. And then there's the awkward moment where a friend is like "Oh, you're right. It is ridiculous." haha. Rather than turn sideways bump-picture-style, I've decided to take the disbelief as a compliment. I'm very intentional about wearing shirts that flatter. Gone are the days of slim fitting tees and waist cinching garments. But that doesn't mean I'm going to don a baby doll tee every day either. Here are some of my favorite silhouettes and pieces (many of which I own a version of) to flatter plus an explanation of why they work.
You know you're aging when you start rationalizing swim dresses. But hey, it is what it is. Partly due to modesty (especially since I have 2 impressionable little girls), partly due to figure flaws, my bikini days are over. Disclaimer: If I ever work hard enough to get my abs back (or back-ish) and am lucky enough to be on a tropical vacation with my husband sans kids, then I might break out a high waist number. But until then I'm exploring all options. I featured this one over on Tall Snob today and wanted to share the look here. Check it out! (Sources below).
swim dress (some colors as low as $29.99!)
sandals. (Havaianas are my absolute favorite brand of flip flops!)

I'm over on Tall Snob today with an elegant Valentine's Day look. Remember the gorgeous lace back dress I linked on Facebook? The dress featured in this look is its more conservative (but still pretty) older sister. Take a look here! And I just might be coming back with a few more dresses because blogging about dresses is sort of like playing with paper dolls. So fun.

I'm over on Tall Clothing Mall sharing a few fun Holiday sweaters and a review. All of these items are available in regular sizes as well as tall and petite! Go check it out!

Happy Holidays!
A while ago I took 4 or 5 photos of myself in various outfits for a "What I wore" series. But then I realized I had to get dressed, put makeup on, AND clean (enough to take a photo without mad chaos looming in the background) even when I wasn't going anywhere...and I thought, this just isn't worth it. [insert winky face here]. Addthe fact that my clothes are mostly thrifted, from Target, Old Navy, or Gap...and well it's just not that interesting. But I've been trying to do clothing reviews over on Tall Snob any time I buy a tall clothing item. I know I haven't shared my work over on Tall Snob in a while but I had fun with this post--which brought back the "What I Wore" series that never happened. I love cute lounge wear and this pair of pants fit the bill! The best part--you can cut them to any length you desire. I couldn't wait to review them and try dressing them up for summer and fall. Here's the final product.
um, pear shaped much? Thuttocks notwithstanding, I love these pants! I can totally wear them around the house with a tee or dress them up when going out. Check out the full review (of the pants and denim jacket--both available in "regular" sizes) here.
Ciao!
If you know me in real life you know how much I heart tulle. Love it. Can't get enough. Well today I'm over on Tall Snob with my interpretation of this awesome pin:

I'm JUST getting to it after a day of headaches + nap skippers + baby crying for no apparent reason + solo bedtime (daddy at a commitment after work) + computer issues. Definitely ready to call it a night. Sorry for whining. But you still love me right?
Anyway, read the post here (and it doesn't include any whining; promise).
Happy Twirling!
I'm over on Tall Snob today with some fun and fresh coral picks. And I maybe white lied in the title. All items except for one are under $60. I'll let you guess which one item that is. In the meantime feast your eyes on this coral eye candy.
Dresses:
Tops/Outerwear:
Bottoms:
For sources head over to Tall Snob and check out the full post. Prices start at just $19. All items are available in "regular" sizes. (Oh the beauty of being of average height. I envy you. I really do).
Which is your favorite? I LOVE the coral print jeans and the academy ponte blazer. Oh and if I hadn't just had a baby (you know-- a short 18 months ago), I'd be all over that tank dress!
Happy coral crushing!

I'm over on Tall Snob today with a Pinterest inspired outfit. I love Pinterest for so many reasons--chief among them, it helps me mix and match my wardrobe in ways I may not have thought of before. But I have to admit, sometimes I see something there that I wouldn't necessarily buy (and isn't already inhabiting my closet) and then it looks so good on that girl, that I become obsessed with finding an affordable lookalike. That's how it was with my basil pesto cords. (Check out this post to see the pinned outfit and my lookalike purchase). Anyway, I've been dying--yes literally dying-- for a pair of gray jeans for like ever and when I saw the pair I featured below, I immediately thought of this pinned image and went for it. Oh and now you know my secret. You have to pinkie swear that every time I wear something cute (which is soooo often ;) you won't think I copied the look from Pinterest. Thank you.
