Untapped Resources: Wal-Mart

Women of all shapes and sizes have a resource available to them that few people talk about...Lord Wally of the Mart.

I love Wal-Mart and its big box brethren. Just as you can find your favorite products at a discount, you can also find things that can fit your body...and not look bad either!

For years I've hit Wal-Mart to find casual clothes like track suits for lounging about at home or trendy wear for the weekends. But in the last couple of years, I've also found stuff nice enough for work thanks to its George ME line. Just last weekend, I bought a nice-looking brown suit for around 40 bucks (jackets and pants are sold separately):

Sizes go up to 18.

And two weeks ago, I found a great-looking cropped jacket from the store's junior No Boundaries line:

The XL is true to size.

The quality of Wal-Mart clothes varies and sometimes you do have to size up. But I've found that there are many items that are of as good quality as things you can find at the mall.
