Plus Size on a Budget – Burgundy Top

A plus size burgundy top outfit idea for my “plus size on a budget series!”

Plus Size on a Budget – Burgundy Top

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

A plus size casual outfit idea for fall and winter.

Start with this burgundy empire-waisted top with an on-trend square neckline.

Accentuate the neck with this long Y-necklace.

And then grab a pair of straight leg jeans, these are pull-on jeggings with a straight leg. Comfortable!

Add a slouchy brown hobo bag and some classic ankle booties.

And top the look with some oversized sunglasses with vintage vibes.

Jewelry

Like I said, this long beaded Y-necklace will look great with this top.

Add some gold boho earrings and a hammered cuff bracelet.

Lastly, this set of rings will look great with this ensemble.

Beauty

I have talked about this pink nude satin lipstick a lot (I know, but it’s so good!).

It is my favorite “drugstore” nude lip and a great option for fair to light-medium skin.

As for this perfume, I’m excited!

First, in case you missed the many times I have discussed it, I am a fan of the “on a budget” perfume brand Dossier.

So I was thrilled to see that they now make a fragrance inspired by one of my favorite fall and winter scents: Maison Margiela’s Replica By The Fireplace.

Dossier’s version, “Woody Chestnut” is highly rated and should be an excellent option.

Now let me try to explain this scent (bear in mind that I am terrible at this, but this site may help).

It smells like a comforting wood stove or fireplace on a cold night. Only so much better!

I’m not even sure I want to smell like it, but I LOVE smelling it. Like after I put it on I consistently sniff my wrists. So good!

I even splurged and bought some of the candles when they were on sale (I know, that price tag is ridiculous).

It smells similar to Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Baccarat Rouge 540 (in my untrained nose’s opinion) but I like it better.

Anyway, if you want to try something really different without breaking the bank, try this “Woody Chestnut.”
