Transition from summer to fall in this plus size work outfit of rich jewel and earth tones. I enjoy using color, especially at the office. One can only wear so many black, white, grey, and navy outfits! Switch things up with a pair of teal trousers! If you aren’t sure how else you might wear these ankle pants, take a look at some of the coordinating options at WHBM (ETA: since this post was originally blogged, they have discontinued plus sizes), like this top, this top, or this top. And obviously they will look great with any neutrals. Lastly, consult a color wheel and this post for color-blocking tips.

Cute outfit, but the sweater is a v-back. Not sure that’s appropriate for the office. The website doesn’t show the back of the sweater, so I’m not sure how deep the V is, but I thought people might want to know it’s a v-back.
It does show the back in some of the colors on the website. It is not very deep at all. I think it would be fine for the office.
It’s not that deep, it doesn’t even come down to the bra strap from what I can tell. And if you do wear a scarf with it, it may hide the v-back.
Love all of this! The scarf makes it pop!
Thanks, Charla! I actually had a different scarf picked out originally and then it sold out. It took me a very very long time to find that scarf! But, it works really well.
I love your ideas, but I’m a busy, budgeting college student and am looking for a couple staple pieces. I can’t buy a new top every week. Is there a post for that because some of your suggestions have been very flattering and I’m finally getting into my own style. The thing is, my husband keeps saying I look like a grandma in the floral pieces because he’s an asshole sometimes and then I can’t wear it. Like the kimono look, I love, but he won’t shut up about the florals. Can you post about staple pieces? Love your suggestions.
Love these colors! I did it upside down. I have dark yellow jeans and then then use a teal top I had. Thanks for the inspiration!
Wonderful!
I have the pants but can’t figure what else to pair it with. Any ideas?
Hi Danielle,
You can always top with a neutral blouse or sweater in white, black, grey, ivory, beige, etc. Or even something monochromatic like this top or this top.
You can also add a coordinating scarf like this one here, here, here, or here.
Or, as I mentioned above in the post, consult a color wheel and this post for color-blocking tips. I would color block with this blouse or this one.
Hope these help!
