Are you ashamed to shop at Wal-Mart? For one struggling to make it, eating Ramen noodles to survive, Wal-Mart just might be the answer to a broke student’s prayer for winter fashion. Everyone wasn’t blessed to grow up in a home where a recent supply of Jordan’s was the norm. Some of us here at Prairie View have known from a small age what it’s like to have a wardrobe absent of a designer store price tag. “Growing up my mom had four other kids besides myself. It was tough for us to make it, she was struggling to raise us on a single income,” said Nicole Dukes a senior biology major. ” Wal-Mart allowed us to be as fashionable as others without having to pay department store prices.”
“I don’t look at anyone who shops at Wal-Mart as a reject,” said freshman Amy Scott after being questioned about her Wal-Mart polo. ” Right now I’m trying to make it through school, not win a fashion show.”
If Amy makes a good point, why aren’t other students thinking the same way here at Prairie View? Perhaps what to wear shouldn’t be the biggest concern of students. Echo, Baby Phat, and Roca Wear might be your wardrobe of choice. However, if one steps out in a Wal-Mart unit, they should be congratulated. You’re looking at a student more concerned with saving money than keeping up with the Joneses.
So next time you’re strolling through Wal-Mart to pick up those well needed school supplies or groceries, swing by the juniors or misses department. There you will find cute sweaters and jeans for an affordable price. Also Wal-Mart has a good supply of shoes. They have boots and most of the latest fashions in shoes.
“I love shopping at Wal-mart,” says senior Dawnielle Colquitt. ” I can get everything I need all at once. Go Wal-Mart! Low prices everyday.” Wal-Mart also carries cute scarf and glove sets for the winter. They are available in different colors for all the many varieties of sweaters you might possess. Therefore, don’t be ashamed. Shop at Wal-Mart. for your winter wardrobe and save lots of money.
