The “Remix”

First, let’s discuss what needed to be updated: the jeans.

The original look included some distressed Mom jeans.  Cute for 2020.  Outdated for 2025.

So I swapped the ripped jeans for some clean medium wash straight leg jeans.

J.Crew Sizing

These straight leg jeans are from J.Crew.

In case you haven’t heard, J.Crew now has many items in plus sizes up to a size 24 or 3X. 

Their sizing is comparable to Lane Bryant

One thing to note is that some of their pants and jeans come by waist sizing (vanity), so check the size chart below to see which size you are.

Outfit Details

I topped the new jean choice with my favorite plus size tees in white.

And then went looking for a similar plus size periwinkle cardigan.

I featured this cardigan, which has a lovely aged look.  This less expensive option is also a great choice.  I also found some other choices…

Cardigans

Accessories

I was able to find most of the accessories or very similar ones, including these Birkenstock sandals.

Aside from being supportive and comfortable, Birkenstocks also accommodate wide width feet with their “regular” or unisex width.

I also found this Frye Hobo bag, it’s timeless, in my opinion.

And lastly, top things off with these cool toned tortoise sunglasses.

Jewelry

Add interest when you layer on some gemstone jewelry. 

I chose to focus on labradorite, moonstone, and turquoise.  Of course, any similar-toned faux or real stones will work. 

As usual, I used color theory to make these pairings. 

The periwinkle cardigan has an analogous relationship with the stones.  Color harmony!

I couldn’t find a layered necklace like the 2020 outfit, so I suggest combining this silver layered necklace with this labradorite pendant necklace.

I also found an inexpensive and adjustable silver toned cuff bracelet.  Otherwise, all of the jewelry is the same.
