A plus size preppy athleisure outfit idea for my “plus size on a budget series!” 

This ultra casual and sporty look is great for everyday or just lounging around the house.

Plus Size on a Budget – Preppy Athleisure

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.

Life is Short, Wear Stripes

I often hear “Should plus size people wear stripes?”

If you’re unsure about stripes, please read this post “Are horizontal stripes REALLY making you look fat?,” written by Melissa at Suger Coat It. 

She explains, “No, horizontal stripes won’t make you look fat. Only being fat makes you look fat.  And you know what, that’s okay.”

I think Melissa does a fantastic job of breaking down this outdated “rule” regarding plus sizes and stripes. 

Outfit Details

A plus size casual athleisure outfit with a navy striped sweater hoodie and matching navy sweater joggers.

Top with a plus size sling bag in tan.

Finish the look with trendy sneakers.

Top the outfit with some oversized square sunglasses.

I have these sunnies in black.  I love them! 

And they look just like some Fendi shades but at a fraction of the price.  Oh yes!

Add my favorite gold hoop earrings.

I have these beauties in all four sizes, love them!

As for the rest of the jewelry, I kept things gold and trendy: a gold bracelet set and a gold dome ring.

Beauty

I have talked about this pink nude satin lipstick a lot (I know, but it’s so good!).

It is my favorite “drugstore” nude lip and a great option for fair to light-medium skin.

The perfume I featured is from Dossier.

I own their “Floral Ylang Ylang,” which is inspired by Chanel’s Gabrielle.

I used the whole bottle within months, which given my vast perfume collection, means it was a real favorite!

I highly recommend!  A designer scent at a fraction of the price! Oh la la!
