Check out this straight size outfit from Suburban Faux Pas!
She looks so comfortable and chic. Love it!
So, I decided to recreate the look with plus size clothes.
Obviously, the iconic Burberry scarf makes the look. But, not everybody can afford it, so I found a great alternative!
As I’ve said, these “Straight Size to Plus Size” posts are some of my most popular, but I also get complaints that the “models” in the images aren’t plus sized.
So I just wanted to give a little background of why I do these types of posts: We are all inundated everyday by images of thin celebrities, models, and bloggers sporting the “latest looks,” i.e. clothing that doesn’t come in our size.
I try to take these “unattainable” images and prove that, in fact, with some effort, plus size women can put these hot looks together. They are attainable!
And I try to take the effort, i.e. searching every where for the pieces, out of the equation. So as always, my main goal is to inspire and empower.

❤️❤️ this outfit! The sweater is sold out in my size but I’m going to keep looking.
Oh no! I did include a couple of alternatives too.
I love this outfit too! I appreciate the straight to plus size outfits. So many plus size clothes are shapeless and not attractive.
Agreed!
Love this post!
I had the sweater in my cart and it sold out! Argh!! Now I must find a substitute that looks very similar!!
That stinks! I did include a couple of alternatives too.
Alexa…Girl I’m loving so many of the outfits you’ve posted. I might go broke trying to buy the pieces I need to complete them! Honestly, You’ve made my life easier by giving me an outline to follow. I love that you mix designer items with items from regular stores. A million thanks! Can’t wait to see what’s up next. Kim
Hi Kim,
Yay! I am so glad you’re feeling inspired! Thanks so much for reading and leaving such a nice comment!
I’m wearing this outfit today! Had to swap the shoes for leopard (snowing here in chicagoland)! Merry Christmas!
Hi!
I came across this outfit on Pinterest while looking for some inspiration. I love that you’ve taken the time to re-create outfits for plus-size women. The outfits always look so nice in the pictures but I don’t have the time to search for similar pieces that I like and that will fit. I’m right on the cusp between regular and plus-size, which makes it really really difficult to find clothes that I like and that fit. Regular sizes are a little too snug and the plus sizes I’ve found are too big and unflattering. I’m a stay at home mom, so wearing comfortable and ready-to-go outfits are pretty much what I wear every day. Unfortunately, that means I end up wear leggings, loose tank tops and cardigans….. every day. I still love my leggings, but I’m sure my family would love to see me dressing differently from day to day. Hopefully having links to buy pieces I like in a size that fits will mean I can actually buy whole outfits instead of just searching for hours for one thing that fits…. I really appreciate what you’ve done and am very happy to have found your website! Thank you!!
Thanks, Heidi! 🙂
omgosh ! I love what you do here.
Thank you!
