Plus Size Stripe Top Outfit

Outfit Details

One of my favorite tops is now available in a blue stripe! Woot!

You might remember this top in black from this post and this post.

Also, from one of my reader’s reviews…

As I said, this top is super flattering.

The cut is fantastic for apple shapes or anyone who looks good in empire waists.

It has a V-neck that is just the right depth to be flattering but offers enough coverage that you can wear this top to the office.

You can read more of my thoughts about this top, including how to care for it, here.

So I am thrilled it now comes in blue stripes. You know I love a stripe!

And I paired it with some dark denim.

J.Crew Sizing

These dark flare jeans are from J.Crew.

In case you haven’t heard, J.Crew now has many items in plus sizes up to a size 24 or 3X.

Their sizing is comparable to Lane Bryant.

One thing to note is that some of their pants and jeans come by waist sizing (vanity), so check the size chart below to see which size you are.

More Details

I dressed up the look a little by adding a Gucci wristlet and some low wedge sandals.

Aviator sunglasses are a clear choice.

As for the jewelry, I went with a gold coin necklace and bracelet.

I added some large hoop earrings, also see my favorites from Amazon.

And lastly, a gold cigar band ring.

My Favorite Lipstick

I thought I’d also mention the featured lipstick is my favorite.

As I’ve said, the Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Shine Oil-in-Stick Lipsticks (or here) are my favorite lipsticks.

I readily admit they are bougie AF and totally break the budget. But they are amazing!

They’re 65% oil and feel amazing on the lips! Not to mention they smell fantastic.

Plus, the packaging is so gorgeous that I actually bought a lipstick holder, like this one, to display them.

And I just can’t say enough great things about them!

The closest lippies I have found at more reasonable prices are L’Oreal’s Colour Riche Shine Lipstick and Sephora’s Rouge Lacquer Lipsticks.

While both are similar, they aren’t even close to the decadence of the YSL ones.

Update: Recently someone told me that the L’Oreal’s Glow Paradise Balm-in-Lipstick is a dupe.

I ordered one to try, and I found it really disappointing.

They‘re not very moisturizing and the smell is unappealing (that chemical lipstick smell).

Perfume

Smell like a rich b!tch with one of my favorite scents: Chanel’s Gabrielle.

And now you can smell like a rich b!tch while on a budget with the perfume brand, Dossier.

I recently tried several fragrances. And so far, I love them!

Dossier’s “Floral Ylang Ylang” is inspired by Chanel’s Gabrielle.

Oh la la! An amazing luxury scent at a fraction of the price!
