Plus Size Fashion Leather jacket find. Being plus size women I find that most consignment shops only carry smaller sizes, because quite frankly they caters to there client tell. Thrift store usually have a large selection of Plus. There are a some great benefits to checking out your local resale shops because you can add a few peices to your wardrobe at a fraction of the full retail price. Many of the clothes and accessories are resole because original buyer never worn them, they received as a gift, or then never used. Which can be your score..
My Top Resale Buying Thrift Store tips :
- Remember to check out jewelry, scarves, purses and shoes when looking at consignment or thrift items.
- Also try on everything.
- Also check the item completely .. many sales are final
So a few weeks ago I happen to be looking and I found this Leather Jacket it is a Bangolini, size 2xl and it was … wait for it… $12(originally sold for $225). Sold to this fashion blogger.
A couple of reason I love this jacket because it is on trend and it fits.. as a plus women it can be hard. Because I am tall arm length is a huge issue no matter if i was a tall drink of a girl I still have to get larger sizes due to my arms.
I paired the jacket with a long tunic.. I found the longer lenght worked.. other wise I would have went with a shirt that cut off right at the jacket bottom.. which would have shown my curves.. but not in a way i would have choose .. showing my hips and butt.
The top is a size 18 from Boden. The top is fun when I take off the jacket because it is fitted, has 3/4 length sleeves, roucheing at waist to hide tummy flaws and it is a tunic.
I choose a stretch Pant from JJill .. I love JJill because the pants were a xl and fit great and held there shape
Boots my favorite ones from Areosole, the extra calf zipper allows wide calves and they are really comfortable.
Necklace is Premiere Jewelry.
Next time you are near a thrift check it out you might never know what you find.
Have a great week.
