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

Start with the star here: a plus size preppy puffer jacket.

Layer it over a plus size pink sweater.

And add these ultra high-waisted palazzo wide leg jeans.

Then finish the look with some trendy green platform sneakers.

Love this combination!

More Outfit Details

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!

And grab a wristlet that looks a lot like a designer piece.

As for jewelry, I like mixing some feminine gold pieces with the more sporty items (the jacket, sneakers, etc.)

Some tennis bracelets stacked on the wrist, pave rings on the fingers, and a pair of stud earrings.

Perfume

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

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

It 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.
