Plus Size on a Budget – Summer Work Outfit

Two “plus size on a budget series” posts back to back!  Woo woot!  This time I’m thinking about work (post-quarantine, obvs).  This plus size budget work outfit is a great look for business casual dress codes in warmer months.  I always layer with a cardigan because office air conditioning is no joke!

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.

  1. Cute affordable outfit! Would it be possible to put together a couple summer wardrobe capsules? That would be absolutely amazing!

  2. So cute! Would you have any suggestions for tall plus size? I really like this look, but there is no way that skirt would be midi on me!

  3. Hi Alexa
    I’m plus size and just got a blue jean skirt. If U don’t mind show me how to wear it.
    Thanks Arture
