A plus size work outfit for the fall with trendy checked trousers!  In case you missed it, make sure you check out Part 1.  Both are looks from my “on a budget” series.  Before getting into the details, I want to prevent some anticipated feedback.  So please keep these things in mind:

My “Disclaimer”

• “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 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.

Plus Size on a Budget – Outfit Details

Switching up the pieces from the work outfit in Part 1.  I swapped a black pencil skirt for these checked trousers.  Menswear-inspired textiles are trending.  Consider this coordinating checked blazer.

Much like Look 1, this outfit is pretty basic until some amazing costume jewelry is layered in.  As I said, Target has really stepped up their jewelry game.  I found this trendy yet sophisticated necklace, chic earrings, and fun bangles, all under 20 bucks and all at Tar-jay!

Of course, this look is made complete with some leopard pumps, which come in both medium and wide widths.  I also found some killer leopard flats (wide), if you need a more comfortable shoe.
