- [Narrator] Raven TV.
- Hey guys, what's up, it's Raven.
Welcome back to my channel,
and welcome to part two of this series.
In part one, I challenged
myself to go to Target,
and get all Target everything
for all of my outfits,
and create a lookbook video for you guys.
It was a challenge even
though I love Target
because I actually never shop
for their clothing there,
so that was a whole new experience for me
and it was very interesting.
So you guys should check
that video out first
if you have not seen it already.
I will link it down below,
but this is part two
and for part two, I challenged
myself to do something
that you guys actually asked me to do,
which is to go to Walmart and
get all Walmart everything,
and create a Walmart
lookbook for you guys.
So that is exactly what I'm
going to be doing today.
This is going to be more of a challenge
than the Target challenge,
I'm pretty sure.
Not only because Target is my life,
and Walmart is,
my phobia, but also because
Walmart is not really known
for their fashionable items
they're not really known
for you to go there and
just slay your life away.
So I do fee like this is gonna be
a little bit more difficult.
Little disclaimer, I don't want anybody
to take this video the wrong way.
Although Walmart is not my favorite store,
I don't think anything of
anybody who shops there.
Like, it's totally fine
I love to save money,
I'm cheap as hell, honestly.
I love buying three dollar
stuff, five dollar stuff,
from Forever 21 or wherever I can get it,
but Walmart is just not really my jam,
so that's why it's kind
of a challenge for me.
But honestly, like, who
really cares where you shop,
where you get your clothes, how you dress?
No one cares, girl, do you.
So I'm going into this
with a positive mindset.
I'm going into it trying
to be open-minded,
trying to actually try really
hard to get like real outfits.
So, let's go to Walmart!
- [Elise] Just pulled up to
Walmart, first thing I see
is this creepy van with a DIY--
(friend laughs)
What are you even, what?
This is what happens at
Walmart, these are the people-
- [Friend] A wooden window!
- [Elise] They put an
air conditioner in it!
- Okay guys, so we just
pulled up to Walmart.
Again, you guys know this is not my
favorite place in the world,
but the last time that I
came here, which was really
the first time that I
came in a super long time,
I did, you know, grow to
see why people like it,
and I actually found,
like, some good stuff.
So, I'm not a Walmart hater,
I'm just a Walmart scaredy cat.
I see a lot of people comin' in
and out of the store right now.
So I have a little bit of
anxiety, like a little bit.
The parking lot is pretty full,
but we're still gonna try and go in there,
get the mission done
and find some clothes,
and hopefully we can film,
and hopefully we don't get
in trouble for filming,
and hopefully it's not too awkward.
Anyway, let's just go!
Walmart!
Not a lot of actual put together clothes.
(electronic music)
- [Friend] I never understood this.
- [Elise] Super, wait,
high-rise super soft.
These are like stretchy Fashion Nova.
Size seven,
so this is juniors.
(both laughing)
These feel like they might be better.
This is size five.
(electronic music)
- [Friend] Gray.
(laughs)
What is that even for?
- [Friend] I do not approve of that.
(electronic music)
Alright, what size is it?
Large.
I've actually never watched this show.
- [Friend] Ew. (laughs)
- Looks cool, though.
Walmart hack!
Get a giant shirt, make
it into a t-shirt dress.
True.
- (giggles) It's your festival style!
- [Raven] Oh, get your
festival style, I see!
See, the thing about
Walmart jewelry is that
it actually looks pretty
cute from far away,
but when you get up close you see
that it's made out of the
worst of the worst materials,
and I can just tell that
it's gonna turn green in nine seconds.
This is cute but it looks
very breakable, very flimsy,
even worse than Forever 21, to be honest.
It's five dollars.
So that's not bad.
Some of it actually looks pretty cute.
This is cute.
But when you look at this,
you can just tell it's
spray-painted plastic.
It's not even metal.
See, I just don't really
like jewelry (laughs)
is the problem.
I definitely don't like
any flashy, colorful ...
No, this is making me itchy.
I just don't really like a
lot of this stuff anyway.
(laughs) What's so funny?
- "It's making me itchy" (both laugh)
- I don't like that texture on there.
I just like plain gold,
very small jewelry,
stud earrings, hoop earrings,
that's really all I like anyway.
At Target they had a lot
of statement jewelry,
like kinda going with this vibe,
but it was better materials
and it was way more expensive.
I don't know, y'all,
this is definitely more
difficult than Target.
It's just a whole different ballgame.
So, I really feel like
I'm gonna end up cheating
when it comes to the shoes in here,
because Walmart shoes, girl, I am sorry.
(laughter)
Girl ...
girl, come on!
- It's a statement, it's funny.
- It's ironic.
But it's not legit,
for legit clothing purposes.
- Why do you need legit clothes?
- Some of us are adults here.
Ow, this gave me a foot cramp!
(friend laughs) Ow, my toe!
And get me some Timbs,
but they're not real Timbs, they're ...
Brahma.
Flip flops, I hate flip flops.
This does not count as real shoes anyway.
Here's the loafers. (laughs)
You know that slip-on loafer trend?
They do have a lot of
fancy Puma knock-offs,
I just can't, I already have
the real ones, first of all.
Second of all, that is just disrespectful.
These aren't bad.
They do have these little
plain grandma shoes
that people like,
I used to wear these a lot
in high school, actually,
and decorate 'em.
That was one of my first
DIY tutorials, actually.
Got the goods.
Hey guys, it's me coming

So, again, just a little quick reminder
that that is happening.
So back to your video now.
Okay, I am back from Wally
world, good ol' Walmart.
(groans anxiously)
I will say that I was less
comfortable filming in there
than I was in Target,
because when I was filming
in Target for my first video,
the employees were walkin'
around, seeing me film,
sayin' hey, sayin' whassup,
being all nice and friendly
and they did not care that I was filming
or anything like that,
and they were just a more laid back,
chill, friendly environment.
At Walmart, I instantly
became way more uncomfortable
filming in there.
I was definitely getting some evil looks
from the employees and the shoppers.
I felt bad because it
seemed like in Walmart,
people were really just in there like,
Bro, we're just tryin'
to get in and get out
and get our stuff and what're
you doin' in here filming?
So I felt a little bit more uncomfortable.
But I got it done, I found my stuff.
What I learned is that
yes, there is some good stuff at Walmart.
There are a few things
that you can definitely get
and get it for a lower
price, and it's just as good.
So I was kinda surprised
with a couple of the items
that I did find.
One thing that I did not like
was their accessory section.
I felt like the stuff was
very, very low quality,
very cheap, and it looked cheap.
They weren't really
playing it off very well,
and I couldn't really find
anything that I wanted
until I went to the little
glass jewelry case, where they have
the more expensive stuff locked away,
more expensive being
anything above 10 dollars
no, anything above 8 dollars, I think,
had to be locked in the
case, because they had
nine dollar, 10 dollar,
15 dollar, 20 dollar,
all the way up to 200
dollar jewelry in there,
which I did not know that
they actually had real gold
in those little cases.
But I just wanted some nice stud earrings.
So these are the stud earrings that I got.
These were 20 dollars
for a set of four studs
in various sizes.
These are sterling silver
gold flash plated cubic
zirconia, I mean they're fake.
They're sterling silver, so
they won't irritate my ears.
But they're still fake
and they were 20 dollars,
but these were locked
up in the fancy section,
like, no stealing section.
So it was a little bit
hard for me to get these,
because I had to get the
attention of the lady
and she's taking a long time,
and that was just different
because definitely at Target,
these would just be hanging right there.
And again, as for the clothes,
I did find some cute
stuff that surprised me,
but I will say that overall it
was much more of a challenge
than when I did this with Target.
At Target, there was a lot
of stuff to choose from,
I just felt like it
wasn't really my style,
but it would still look cute if I wore it,
it just wouldn't really be me.
But at Walmart, I struggled
to even find stuff
that would even be cute
in the first place.
I know that sounds really mean,
but they had so many just plain
t-shirts, plain tank tops,
activewear, leggings, stuff
that's not even real clothes.
It's more like loungewear
and workout clothes.
They only had a small
section of real clothes,
like, actually going somewhere clothes,
and I just felt like
they were really behind
with the trends.
I was seeing trends that were from 2014,
and it's 2018.
So it was hard for me to
find a really cute top,
or, at Target, they had
so many off-the-shoulder,
ruffle-ly, cute stuff.
At Walmart, they had this hot pink shirt
with cherries on it,
and I was just like, Oh Lord!
So, let's just move on to
looking at the outfits.
So, Walmart outfit number one
was actually a lucky find.
It's this pink striped dress.
It's like a shirt dress with
a little tie around the waist.
This was the last dress
of its kind in the store
and it was actually a size large.
I had this issue in Walmart
the whole time I was shopping,
everything was either in size
large, extra large, XXL, XXXL.
A lot of stuff was in very
large sizes that wouldn't fit me
and I had trouble finding
things in my size.
But I got lucky with this dress
because even though it is a size large,
I kind of like the loose, baggy fit on me.
Although I probably would actually
get maybe a size small or a medium,
I really don't think
the large looks to bad,
and the fabric on this dress
is really soft, comfortable,
breathable, good for the summer,
but it's not see-through or anything,
which is really good.
That can be an issue with
more affordable clothes,
but this is not see-through,
it's comfortable,
I think it's cute for the summer,
especially paired with the
right shoes and accessories.
These shoes that I'm
wearing were the only shoes
I could find in Walmart.
They're not my favorite
but I think they work.
Outfit number two is very casual,
not really a put together look,
because, you guys, I struggled so hard,
I could not find any cute tops,
so I'm actually wearing
a little boy's t-shirt.
Yes, just a plain t-shirt
from the little boys' section,
it was three dollars, I got
one in black, got one in gray.
This is actually a
little boy's size small.
I probably coulda got a medium,
'cause it's a little tight on my arms,
but basically I'm using it as a crop top,
so you can wear it full length like this,
as a little baby tee,
literally it's a baby tee (laughs)
or you can cut it into a crop top.
I'm kind of just folding it up
to demonstrate how the
crop top would look.
And this is really the only thing
that I could find in
terms of just a decent top
that looks kinda cute, you know?
I was struggling, so I
was trying to finesse.
But I do really like
these army green jeggings
that I found in the
regular women's section.
I got a size small, so
they fit me pretty good.
I can kinda hike 'em up so they
can look kinda high-waisted,
which I really like.
And these are basically
supposed to be pants,
like jeggings, but they're
really just leggings
'cause they're extremely stretchy.
But the good thing is that
they're made out of a thicker material,
so they're not see-through at all,
and honestly, these pants to me look like
something you would get from
Fashion Nova or something.
I only got these green ones
but they actually came in a
bunch of different colors,
so this is one of my
favorite things that I found.
("My Boo" by Usher plays)
Okay guys, so as I said, I was struggling,
especially in finding shirts.
So we're gonna do a little mini-DIY.
I found this shirt, it was really cheap,
it was in the men's section.
They had a lot of America,
red, white, and blue stuff.
I don't really like wearing
just straight up patriotic stuff
for several reasons,
but I had this idea to turn it into a
"This is America" crop top.
So I literally cut the shirt,
I crossed out "Made in America"
and I wrote, "This is
America" with a sharpie,
you know, shout out to Donald
Glover, Childish Gambino,
we see you, we see the message,
and I felt that this was
a cute little mini-DIY.
I think I kinda cut the
crop top a little too short
for these jeans,
because these jeans
are not as high-waisted
as I would like them to be.
Usually if I'm wearing
a really short crop top,
I like to have my jeans up really high.
But I do actually really like these jeans.
I found these in the junior section,
I think I got a size five.
They're very stretchy,
and these are, like,
literally Fashion Nova jeans.
I have jeans from Fashion Nova
that are exactly this
exact same type of thing,
so I was very surprised
to find this at Walmart.
They look very cute, they're comfortable,
and again, they look and feel
just like anything you
would get from Fashion Nova
or any other store, but
they were way cheaper.
This next outfit was another attempt at
kind of a DIY, a little clothing hack,
as I said when we were
shopping in the store.
You can take a giant t-shirt and wear it
as a t-shirt dress.
The only problem for me
is that I'm really tall,
so a lot of times even if
I get the largest size,
it's still not long enough,
so I did have to cheat
with this outfit and get a pair of shorts
from my closet, so these
are not from Walmart,
and put them on underneath the shirt,
because it just was not long enough
to really wear it as a dress.
But I do think that this
t-shirt is really cool,
it's like a neon sign type of thing,
it's like a ghost that
says, "Open for business."
I'm not even sure what it
really is on this shirt,
but it just looks cool.
And I also cheated with
the heels that I'm wearing.
These are just from my
closet, because like I said,
the Walmart shoe selection
was quite minimal,
so I had to pull these
shoes from my own closet.
But you guys can probably imagine
if I was a shorter person that
this would look pretty cute
as a t-shirt dress with some heels.
I have also done another DIY in the past.
I don't think I ever
posted a video for it,
but it's where I take a giant t-shirt
and I actually transform
it into a bodycon dress.
So that might be something
that I can do with this shirt,
or I can just wear it as a baggy shirt
tucked into my shorts.
I actually think that this
is a really cool look.
I would definitely wear it like this.
I think it's something kinda different,
but if you guys are interested
in some t-shirt DIY videos from me,
I can definitely show you
how I would turn this shirt into a dress,
and a couple of other
things that I can make
out of shirts like this.
So if you're interested in
that, just comment down below
and let me know.
And for my final outfit,
I'm literally just wearing this
plain gray a-line t-shirt dress.
It's a very comfy material.
It lowkey could be pajamas,
like a night dress,
but it was in the real clothing section,
it is a real dress.
I just think it's something
really nice, simple, and comfy
to throw on, like when
I'm going to pick up Ziya
from school or something.
And I probably could dress it up
if I had the right accessories.
So, overall, what I
learned from this challenge
is that I definitely need
to go to Walmart sometimes.
There's some stuff that I
can definitely find in there,
definitely take advantage
of the low prices
for certain items, certain things
like the leggings and
those jeans that I found.
They look just like stuff you
would get from Fashion Nova,
but it's way cheaper.
Stuff that I probably wouldn't get
is the accessories and the shoes,
but I think that the main thing I learned
is that you're gonna
have to mix and match,
when it comes to Walmart fashion.
You might be able to get
one piece from Walmart
and maybe pair it with
something from another store,
maybe something that was
a little bit pricier,
just to kind of elevate
the overall outfit.
I found it was difficult
to get an entire outfit
head to toe from Walmart.
I was really tempted to mix and match
with some other pieces from my wardrobe.
My favorite outfit was the
one with the black t-shirt,
where I was able to pair
it with my own shorts
and my own shoes, and I think that
that's what really pulled it all together.
So that's definitely
what I would recommend
if you're gonna be getting
stuff from Walmart.
You can definitely get some cheap pieces,
but just kind of pair
it with some other stuff
from your closet.
So I will definitely be
going back to Walmart
to get a few things,
and I really enjoyed doing this challenge.
So let me know in the comments down below
what store should I do for
my next clothing challenge?
And make sure you give this video
a thumbs up if you enjoyed this one,
and subscribe if you haven't already.
And I will see you guys in my next video.
Bye!
