Plus Size on a Budget – My “Disclaimer”

I want to prevent some anticipated feedback.  So please keep these things in mind:

  • “Budget” is relative.  Some people easily spend $300 on sunglasses, while other people allocate $300 for their annual clothing budget.
  • You may be able to find these items elsewhere for less.  These are just some “budget-friendly” finds I have come across.  And I typically don’t link to clearance items because they sell out and then people are disappointed.  Also, I have no way of linking to thrift stores, but obviously, if you want to check out your local thrift stores, I think that is a great idea!
  • Recycle & reuse.  As with all of my posts, I hope that you can use the pieces you already have in your wardrobe.  Additionally, I assume that you can reuse all of the pieces below in other combinations with things in your closet to create a variety of looks.  Meaning, I think it is unfair to judge the expense of one outfit as though that is the only way to wear the pieces.

Outfit 1 Details

Some basic navy trousers are paired with a red cable knit sweater.

Tie it together with a beautiful scarf.

I chose navy flats to create a longer line, visually.

They also come in wide width.

Oversized sunnies and a basic tote make for great accessories.

Pavoi Jewelry

The hoop earrings featured in this look are made by PAVOI, which I’ve mentioned many times before.

You can find PAVOI on Amazon, and must say the quality is really great for the prices!

I actually own a bunch of PAVOI pieces now.  I started with a couple of these thick gold hoops in the two larger sizes.  I was quite impressed. 

Subsequently, I bought a bunch more of their pieces.  Actually, I have so many pieces now, I have lost track!  But, so far so good!  

Jewelry Care

These are inexpensive plated pieces so you might need to “baby” them for longevity.

Avoid the obvious: showers, pools, spraying your wrist with perfume while wearing them.

Store them in air-tight plastic bags, if possible.  This will keep the plating from damage and tarnishing.

FYI, you can check out some more of my picks in my Amazon store.

Perfume & Lipstick

I have had this perfume brand, Dossier, on my “to try” list for quite some time.

I actually just ordered a bunch of their scents.  And I love them!

For this look, I chose their “Fruity Orange,” which is inspired by Clinique’s Happy.

Oh la la!  An amazing luxury scent at a fraction of the price!

For lips, I opted for a cool tone red with “British Red.”  This shade will work best on most cool or neutral skin tones.

If you have a warm undertone, go with “Volcanic.

  1. I love the tote from Amazon. It holds up well, holds my wallet, lunch, coffee and water cups with no issues. It’s inexpensive, so I don’t worry about ruining it (but I haven’t yet). I have two colors so far.

  2. I love this post. I was able to utilize some clothing that I already have to create the work outfits. Thank you so much for the inspiration!
