My sister and I went into Walmart Recently and were happily surprised at how cute their apparel is right now. They have a lot of great basics from tee shirts, to tanks and shorts. We even took a peek at the men's section to see their selection of sweatpants and sweat shorts. We found really cute an affordable T-shirt dress, tank tops, shorts and basic tees. I really like their basics tees because the quality is SO nice and they are less than $9. We purchased a couple because we want to cut one and crop it to wear over the summer. I really like their selection of Men's sweat shorts because they are so comfy and we decided to cut them a little shorter too so they are not so long.If you are looking for cute basic apparel that is affordable I definitely recommend checking out Walmart and seeing their selection. Also, online they have a lot more choices and had more in stock than they did at ...

SheIn Outfit Round Up
Alright ladies! Let's talk affordable fashionable pieces!! I love a great deal as much as the next girl but I do not like to sacrifice quality. Everytime I go onto Shein.com I see their incredibly low prices and I cannot help but want to buy SO much stuff!! You can't beat those kind of deals, am I right? I wanted to share my honest review on the pieces that I chose and a couple tips to help you shop the site. First up is the fan favorite, teddy coat. This coat is VERY soft and cozy. I fell in love with it as soon as I put it on. I am wearing a size medium and it fits perfect! I wanted it slightly bigger so that it fits more oversized. The price for it is only $34 and is definitely worth buying in my opinion because the quality is so good!! This style comes in 11 different colors. Don't only take my word for it, but my cat Maxwell also find its super soft and get's all ...
