Steals & Deals: the K-Mart Edition

I never, ever shop at K-Mart. I’m not sure why. I don’t think anyone else ever does, because the parking lot is always deserted when I pass by. The husband and I were eating at Texas Roadhouse for dinner a few days ago, which is right across the parking lot from K-Mart. We decided to pop in to check things out while we were there, and I’m so glad we did.

027B194712110001Who knew K-Mart had such cute clothes? I got three maxi dresses, each for $20. I got so many compliments on the purple dress this week when I wore it to work. I paired it with a white tank, since it is a little low cut, and a cardigan. Super cute! I actually purchased the black version of this dress as well. It’s made of cotton and is seriously the most comfy dress ever.

The husband picked this dress out. I wore it with a black tank and a black cardigan. It’s a polyester blend, so I’m thinking it will hold up through washes and won’t wrinkle. It was also $20.

There were quiet a few other dresses I was lusting after, but I figured three are enough (for now). Check these out!

Classic pink sheath dress, $29.99

Graphic print yellow dress (perfect for Easter!), $34.99

027B172112110001

027B217292110001

Blue halter dress (perfect for the beach!), $34.99

Giraffe print cowl neck dress, $34.99

Of course I couldn’t leave without checking out the shoes!

I got both for $12.00 each. I also got an adorable pair of pink sandals but I can’t find a picture of them online. Funny story about the silver sandals… I was getting a pedicure on Tuesday, and a woman and her daughter were in the salon at the same time, getting their nails done. We didn’t speak. Later that afternoon I was at Ross and the same woman came up to me and told me she had been following me around because she wanted to know where I got my sandals. She was floored when I told her I got them at K-Mart. :)

Here are a few others that caught my eye… all less than $25.00.

I WISH we had K-mart. I used to go to the one in Astor Place NYC and I loved it. But I still love Target and walmart more!

Cathy said...

I just ran across your blog tonight. I like those dresses however we don't really have a K-mart close to us.

azah said...

I lived in Michingan for 5 years...and k-mart is my must go shop every weekend..i just love to shop there since the price is affordable to me as i was a student before...i miss k-mart, we dont have it here in my country...good steal andrea..

Christina said...

I do go to kmart when I remember. I remember a few years back when they said they were closing all of them so honestly iy just never pops into my mind!

Jenn and Eric said...

Yeah, I love me some Kmart stuff, but unless they build one closer than like 3 hours from here, or lower their shipping prices, my Kmart days are over.

Glad you found some rocking stuff though. I bet you look great in those maxi dresses.

Air Force Wife said...

oooh those are so cute!!! I LOVE the blue halter dress, it's so pretty... ooh and heels... I wish there was a K-Mart around here!

Shawn said...

K-Mart you say?

When I saw your post I thought "oh yeah sure what's she gonna find there".

With my mouth hanging open and a big Shut-to-the-UP I stared at the screen thinking it was April 1st again. I'm so going on line and ordering a few of those dresses for my trip.

Is that blue one long? I love floor length dresses, it so covers all of my unsightly cellulite!

You're so kind to share!

Have a great day!

Christina Lee said...

I LOVE this b/c you motivated me even more! I was just driving by our Kmart and said to myself "I have to check it out"- I have bought clothes there before and shoes-not too shabby, I think!!! now that you showed me the maxi dresses- I am high-tailing it over there!!!!

Katie said...

Oooh everything is so cute. I am going to have to make a KMart run this weekend. I agree, I don't think anyone shops at KMart in my town either, their parking lot is *always* empty.

Amy said...

I use to work by a K-mart and I would go in there at times. I may have to go back I love those dresses and I need one for sure and the shoes what a great steal.

Sorry I did not come back yesterday for your Tuesday event. My little one was still sick and I started to feel it. We just spent the day laying around and playing.

Have a great day.

Mary said...

Those are cute dresses! Maybe I'll have to swing by Big K.

with.much.love said...

I stalk clothes on a regular basis, but I don't think I've ever done them when they were actually ON someone....that's a little weird! LOL

I haven't been in a Kmart in years but I'm going to check it out. This is some seriously cute stuff! I love me a cotton dress in the summer time!

LG said...

I have got to get over there stat! I loved all the dresses and those gladiator heels!

PS watched beverly hills chiquaqua the other night and thought of you! it was hilarious

Jen said...

Oh yeah, I am totally making a stop at K-Mart this week! Thanks for the heads up on the awesome frugal fashion finds!!

Skipping Through Daisies said...

Dang! You werent lieing! That stuff is awesome. Our nearest K-Mart is 45 minutes away. What a shame...( I do have the last pair of dressy sandles pictured though!)

Becca @ The Texas Darlings said...

WOW- those dresses are adorable! I m floored that you found them at KMart!!

UNfortunately, there are no KMart in the Austin area (I just googled). Online maybe?

Thanks for sharing!

Becca

Rebecca Jo said...

NO WAY!!!!!!!! I havent been in K-mart in forever!!! And I cant find a dress for Easter anywhere... I now know where I am going this weekend!!! Thanks for the heads up!

Jules said...

I cannot believe you got all of those things at K-Mart!! I can't even tell when the last time was that I stepped foot inside of one.

I LOVE the dresses you got and putting them together with a tank and a cardigan is a great idea! I'm going to have to take a trip to K-Mart.

I also wanted to let you know that got the package you sent! Thank you so much :) I love the pink hair clip and eyeshadow along with the awesome book. You're the best!

Justine/Justiney/Tiney said...

I hate K-Mart! Their staff is rude and clueless and the store is always deserted, yet the register lines long. WTF??????
But, you got some seriously pretty stuff and cheap! Oh man, LOVE the sandals you got but they look soooooo uncomfy! I just might have to make my once yearly visit to K-Mart soon.

Justine :o )

Dugout Daisy said...

I used to go to Kmart all the time but they closed down all the ones by my house :( so now i'm back to target and wal-mart, hahaha!

Vivienne said...

No WAY!
I am a Target girl myself, but am getting my car keys and my pocket book and going right now!

K said...

Okay - so I'm inspired.

Very cute dresses.

Michele said...

Ya know, I've never shopped there for clothes before, but now I have to go check it out. I love those silver sandals too, and at work, we can't wear anything that goes through the toe. See, I have a problem finding tanks and cardigans that will fit me since I've gained so much weight.

Thanks for sharing!

Hugz,
Michele

Cole said...

Super cute dresses!! Love 'em!

I couldn't even begin to tell you where a K-Mart is near me.... I must go Google it now. :-)

Stephanie said...

I'll have to check out K-Mart.

Anonymous said...

Andrea, I've been lurking for a while and have to tell you, I love your blog. I live in rural Colorado where K-mart was all we had at one time. Now that it's gone I try to get to one any chance I get. Great steals! agallegs@netscape.net

Joy said...

Those shoes and dresses are amazing! I rarely go to KMart just because it's not as convenient. When I do, it's like walking into a ghost town. Kinda sad. They do have cute stuff though, including houseware decor.

Michaela said...

I used to work a the big K way back when in high school... I haven't bought anything from there since then. Those dresses are really cute though, so I may need to give ours a visit =)

Aubrey said...

Our closest KMart is about 20 mins away so we hardly get over there. But now? I may just have to make the trip! I am LOVING the sandals and the first pair of silver pumps!

Bethany said...

Those are cute! I never shop at K-Mart either, not sure why. I'm actually not positive there is one in my town anymore. Hmm...
