A linen blazer outfit for my “plus size on a budget series!” 

Plus Size on a Budget – Linen Blazer Outfit

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.

Linen Keeps You Cool

As the title of this post suggests, the plus size blazer in this outfit is 55% linen!

Linen is just a classy fabric.  Period.  It drapes in a lovely and unmistakable way.

And linen is a natural fiber known for keeping you cool in hot weather.  Yes!

That’s because linen breathes and absorbs moisture.

But Linen Wrinkles…

Linen might seem difficult to deal with, but it’s actually quite easy.  And it’s machine washable! 

As I’ve said, people often ask me how to keep their linen clothes from wrinkling.

For one, linen is always going to wrinkle.  Always. 

And really, that is part of “the look.”  You know, that rich bougie b!tch look that I love so much!

Two, a linen-blend, like this blazer, will wrinkle less.   

And three, if you iron with starch, linen will wrinkle slightly less.  But, I say, just let it go!

Outfit Details

This blazer is a great find, especially at this price!

It would look great with shorts but I chose some flare jeans.

Add a basic camisole or tee under it.

Get slightly “matchy-matchy” with some lilac raffia slide sandals.

Then toss a casual straw tote over your shoulder with some oversized brown sunglasses on your head.

Then add some trendy gold jewelry like these sculptural hoop earrings and an uber-trendy snake chain bracelet.

Add a lipstick with a violet undertone, like “Edgey.”

Perfume

As for the perfume, it’s my longtime “signature scent.”

I have been in love with this fragrance, Vera Wang, since college.

If may smell “dated” but I always get compliments on it.

And the best part is that now it’s inexpensive.

If you’re into light florals, I highly recommend it.
