Plus-Size Work Basics

As I mentioned in my last post, I'm starting school and the placement in the school where I will be student teaching next month. I'm projecting my anxiety onto concern about my wardrobe. I don't own one white shirt or one pair of black pants. But since I'm just learning to be a teacher, I'm not rolling in the dough quite yet. My host teacher has assured me that the dress code is business casual, so there's no reason for immediate concern.  That being said, here are some basic white button-downs and work pants that I'm eying to pair with the bold colors from my last post.

Simply Be, "Voluptuous Shirt"

The shirt above comes in sizes 10-28, and in three chest sizes (B-DD, E-G, and H-K!). That seems like a great idea, I'll have to try out.

Missphit
Talbots (Standard & Plus Sizes)

Pants:

As for affordable dress pants, I'll have to try lots to find a couple that work. Pants are so much harder to fit than skirts and dresses, which is why I have so few. My weight fluctuation doesn't help either.

  3. Great selection! I have a Jones New York shirt that ties like the Talbots one. It's a cuffed 3/4 sleeve. I absolutely love it! I've dressed it way up and down!
