Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ Jan 23-29
Sharing a week’s worth of plus size outfits, for better or worse!
Question: is the jump to seven days (from five) of outfits too much?
Apology: I’m a boob and didn’t realize I had my camera in manual focus for the first 3 days so I had to swipe video stills from TikTok.
SATURDAY
- Turtleneck: Ava&Viv/Target, size 3x. I feel this will never die.
- Silk Underwear: Land’s End Black silk, size 3x
- Jeans: Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans, Callisto wash, size 20 short
- Sneakers: Converse Shoreline slip-ons
SUNDAY
Birthday brunch in the city. Cold. It’s always a fine line between dressing warmly enough for sitting and not being too warm when walking. I’m not doing indoor dining still, so if eating is involved, it means sitting outside.
This outfit was just right.
In the winter I never know if I should photograph the outfits with coat on or not. Thoughts?
- Sweater: Loft navy blue poncho turtleneck, size 3x
- Silk Underwear: Lands End black long silk top, size 3x
- Jeans: Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans, black, size 20 short
- Sneakers: Converse Shoreline slip-ons
- Coat: (unseen but an important part…and it looks great over this navy turtleneck) Old Navy recycled wool collarless coat, size 3x
MONDAY
Back to work in the office. Four days for me this week. CAN I COME UP WITH FOUR WORK-WORTHY OUTFITS IN A WEEK ANYMORE? Ha. I’m used to Dress Up one day, Dress Down the next.
Anyway, a cold day, so light layering with a sweater was the plan. Got a little double denim action going on. AND I love the color combo of the faded blue chambray with the dark grey sweater.
Now if I just had a different pair of shoes for a change, ha ha. Am considering another pair of these Converse slip-ons but can’t decide on color. There’s a light grey I’ve always liked…and I love all the sherbet colors – pink, violet, mint green – cuz that’s the palette that’s living rent-free in my head lately. Thoughts?
- Sweater: Catherine Malandrino cashmere, size 3x
- Buttondown: Charlotte Russe Tencel, size 3x
- Jeans: Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans, Callisto wash, size 20 short
- Sneakers: Converse Shoreline slip-ons
TUESDAY
- V-Neck: Macy’s, 3x
- Tee: H&M, 3x
- Jeans: Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans, Callisto wash, 20 short
WEDNESDAY
Rawr.
- Turtleneck: Jessica London cotton/cashmere blend, size 3x
- Cardigan: Sanctuary leopard cardigan, size 2x
- Jeans: Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans, black, size 20 short
- Sneakers: Converse Shoreline slip-ons
THURSDAY
I love this charcoal grey over the white jeans. Wish I had a light pink or light blue or, ooh, lilac, tee peeking out through the side slits.
- Sweater: Rachel Rachel Roy asymmetrical turtleneck, size 3x.
- Jeans: Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans, Glacier White, size 20 short
- Sneakers: Converse Shoreline slip-ons
FRIDAY
This is the coldest day we’ve had so far this winter and if it was just a normal “go to work, go home” day, I would definitely have had something more “neck-covery” and cozy, but I actually had plans for after work with a human (WAIT, WHAT?!?) and didn’t want to be overdressed and overheated at someone’s house. Plus, I love love wearing this sweater and haven’t worn it in a couple weeks. I actually just bought it in another color and I’m hoping to like the color better in person than on the website but I’ll just have to wait and see on that…but I DO love the fit, cut, and feel of the sweater.
- Sweater: Treasure&Bond/Nordstrom Crewneck Pullover, size 3x
- Jeans: Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans, black, size 20 short
- Sneakers: Converse Shoreline slip-ons
Boom. Longest Week Ever, OVER.

I love the word rawr.

I don’t think 7 days of outfits is too many. And about coats — if you feel like it sometimes why not show outfit with coat and without?

HEY EVERYBODY!!! Joan is trying to KILL ME!!! Ha. “Don’t do LESS…do MORE!!!”
Made me laugh. But point taken 🙂

I don’t usually like animal prints, but… I was quickly scrolling through your photos and had to scroll back when I caught a glance of your leopard cardigan. I really liked it with the basic jeans and top. A great polished look!
bettyewp
Yeah, this is a pretty low contrast leopard print…the dark brown on black is not so…well, contrasty. I think that makes it a little more palatable than some.
Leopard print is not leopard print is not leopard print.
And my personal love of low contrast color combinations continues.

I think 7 days is fine Bettye. And like several have said, I really like the leopard cardigan. It dresses up a simple turtleneck and jeans. As for the Converse Shoreline slip ons, you can never go wrong with blue, especially with jeans. I love classic white but that always seems more casual (haha, like I consider sneakers dress up shoes!). Did you know if you go to Converse’s website you can customize your slip ons? I went down a rabbit hole and decided I could really get myself in trouble if I stay here much longer, lol.

CUSTOMIZE? MY? CONVERSE?!?! What sorcery is this???
