A plus size off-the-shoulder sweater outfit idea for my “plus size on a budget series!”
But, this outfit ideas is also a part of my my “Ask Alexa” series because this post was requested.
Plus Size on a Budget – Off-the-Shoulder Sweater Outfit
Ask Alexa
In case you haven’t heard, I finally started my “Ask Alexa” series!
If you missed it, here was my first post and second post and third in the series.
Although I receive a lot of my readers’ fashion questions via email, this time I chose a comment from Stacy:

The Remix
So this time I am updating this outfit idea from 2018:
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
So I took the same off-the-shoulder sweater from the 2018 post for this outfit.
Unfortunately, it only comes to a size 2X.
But I found some great alternatives:

More Outfit Details
Instead of the white skinny jeans, I went with on-trend light wash wide leg jeans.
Wear them with a lug sole bootie.
And then I added some trendy accessories like this beige clutch bag and these oversized square sunglasses.
For jewelry, right now sculptural gold earrings and delicate chain pieces are trending.
I threw in a large mother of pearl cocktail ring for good measure.
Just like in 2018, I included my favorite drug store nude lipstick: “fairest nude.”
And you can finish the outfit with a neutral eye look.
