A plus size early fall work outfit idea for my “plus size on a budget series!”
Plus Size on a Budget – Early Fall 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 idea for summer into fall with a beautiful floral top.
Pair this blouse with some black dress slacks.
Add a big pop of color with this bright pink croco satchel bag.
Top the look with some black cat eye sunglasses that look a lot like Prada shades.
And finish the look with some black mules.
Jewelry & Lipstick
For jewelry, add my favorite gold hoops in their smallest size.
I have these in all four sizes and love them!
Add a trendy layered necklace and a set of delicate gold bracelets.
Lastly, add this gold ring to wear on your thumb or index finger.
As for lipstick, choose one that is pink with a cool undertone like “Tickled Pink.”
Jewelry Care
These beauties are gold plated, so you might need to “baby” them for longevity.
Avoid the obvious: showers, pools, spraying your wrist with perfume while wearing them.
Store them in air-tight plastic bags, if possible. This will keep the plating from damage and tarnishing.

Really enjoy your looks, especially those for ‘on a budget’ picks! You inspire me to step out of my comfort zone with accessories. 🙂 It looks like the floral top print is only available in misses sizes (the plus size is only available in a solid deep rose/magenta color), so can you suggest something similar in print and/or wrap style?
Oh my, I think I’m losing my mind. I swear the top was available in plus sizes just 2 days ago! Let me see if I can find something similar….
It has been stocked in plus sizes now. 🙂
Hi Alexa,
Another great post! At the moment, I work from home but I can tell you this — I will be buying most of the items shown here! I work better when I feel good about what I’m wearing. Thank you for always having price point options. It helps me budget what to splurge on and what to save on. Happy Wednesday and here comes August!
Thank you! And I completely understand, when I put on “real clothes” or some makeup, even when at home, I feel so much better.
