A plus size fall business casual outfit idea for my “plus size on a budget series!” 

Plus Size on a Budget – Fall Business Casual

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 Details

This is an easy look for the office with a beautiful plum blouse topped with a camel cardigan.

Layer it over these black plaid pants. 

They’re ankle length and will show off these chain-embellished loafers.

Top the look with some oversized sunglasses.

(They look a lot like these Fendi sunglasses, just sayin’)

And grab a black tote bag.

Jewelry

For the jewelry, gold and pearls.

A lovely pearl necklace on a gold chain looks great with the neckline of the plum top.

The necklace is complimented by pearl huggie hoop earrings.

And finish things off with a sculptural gold ring.

Jewelry Care

These beauties are gold plated, 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.

Perfume

I included one of my favorite on-a-budget fragrances: Dossier’s “Gourmand Orange Blossom.”

This perfume is inspired by Lancome’s “La Vie Est Belle.”

This is a warm floral that is perfect for fall.

FYI, I had Dossier on my “to try” list for quite some time.

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

Someone asked me about their longevity.

In my opinion, they last as long as the fragrances they are inspired by.

Yasssss!  An amazing luxurious scent at a fraction of the price!
