A neutral summer work outfit idea for my “plus size on a budget series!” 

Plus Size on a Budget – Neutral Summer Work 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.

Outfit Details

A plus size business casual outfit for summer with neutral colors.

Start with a plus size black short sleeved blouse.

Add more neutrals with some camel brown pants.

I love the tie-in-the-front detail and wide legs.

Accessories

Keep the accessories chic but neutral to look more professional.

Add some oversized sunglasses.  I have these in black and love them!

Put on some tan woven slide sandals, but do keep in mind that closed toe shoes are more appropriate for most offices.

So be sure to check your employer’s dress code.

Next add a summery rattan tote bag.

Jewelry & Beauty

As for jewelry, I kept it trendy: sculptural gold.

The chunky huggie hoops in gold are made by one of my favorite inexpensive brands: Pavoi.

Pavoi also makes the chic and on-trend necklace.

And you’ve heard me talk about these bracelets before.

They’re hot right now, so I bought them and love them!

They easily fit my slightly-larger-than-average sized wrists.

Oh and lastly, if you want to add a nude lip, this is my favorite “drugstore” nude lipstick.
