5 PLUS SIZE Wardrobe Essentials for Chic Corporate Style | PLUS SIZE TRY ON HAUL | Sometimes Glam

[@christiniinbetweeni6692]

Wow, the beginning really struck a chord with me. I think I fell into the "it fits so I have to buy it" trap so, so, so much as a plus sized person. It just led to me having a ton of clothes that I wasn't obsessed with and debt. I'm really trying to break the mindset, but I still find myself slipping. I am trying to only buy things that I am obsessed with and excited to wear!

[@SometimesGlam]

You're definitely not alone Christini and the fact you are aware and trying to break the habit is such a breakthrough! You got this girl and I hope my series can inspire you to create a wardrobe you absolutely love 💕

Thank you so much for starting this series Crystal. Just from the intro I can tell you are very passionate about this series which is amazing. I honestly can say I don’t know my style anymore. I feel like once I hit 25(29 now) that I was like okay I don’t want to dress like I did in my early 20s but I also didn’t want to dress old. So I just have been in a frump and have been buying “what fits”. I can’t wait to incorporate your tips and suggestions into rebuilding my wardrobe.

You're very welcome 😊 This is honestly so important to me and I truly hope my series can inspire women of all ages to discover their style and live their best life 😘

[@applejacks101890]

Seriously guys, don't skip ahead, listen to the entire video. I'm only 6 minutes in and I'm in tears. You're absolutely right, Crystal. And I'm going to take all of this to heart. Thank you for starting this series

[@SometimesGlam]

Thank you so so much, that makes me so happy x

[@fashionistapm]

Obviously I am catching this video way late but I absolutely loved your intro! I completely agree about buying my STYLE not just buying something because it fits.

[@ElizabethP1981]

I know essential pieces are pricey but they are timeless and last forever! The jumpsuit is so good!

[@SometimesGlam]

They are definitely the foundations for a great wardrobe which can be paired back with basics and fashion styles 😊

[@dlcarbonneau3750]

YES I love this idea! I celebrated retirement a few years ago by dying my long white hair lavender. Before that I had never even styled it. I lost 20 lbs and spent over 12K on clothing at Torrid when they came to Canada as their stuff was MY style. A few months ago I realized that (shopping addiction aside) I needed to learn how to really style these items as I had everything I needed. I no longer buy clothes unless I absolutely LOVE them. Thank you Crystal for helping me stop being a wallflower even in my sixties!

[@SometimesGlam]

You are AMAZING! You are also making me miss my purple hair 💜

Thank you! I had to learn to not buy things just because they fit and looked ‘good’ but that I deserved more as a plus size female. I went from a size 24 to an14/16 and was just so excited to have more options that I started buying things just because they fit. Love where this series is going.

[@SometimesGlam]

Thank you so much 😊 we all deserve so much more and I am so glad we have more options now 💕

[@nancymueller1380]

Recently I begun to change. I want to be happy with my clothing choices. I want to be confident and not settle. So thank you. You are speaking my heart

[@francesca0276]

I 100% agree with "where do you see yourself" in life. I work in an office building for a medical company. There are many people going for the same position in different depts. So, you have to think, 'What can I do to better myself and "standout". This is what I personally do and have been doing for years. Dress the part. Just like you said. When you come to work looking put together, YES, you will stand out and be noticed. Go the extra mile and help out more than what your job title requires. It really works. All of these pieces look beautiful that you picked out! I've been on the hunt for a jacket just like that! This is an exciting series!! Thank you for sharing!

[@SometimesGlam]

Thank you so much Francesca 😊 you are totally right, when you turn up looking and feeling the part it shows and makes all the difference x

I love this channel so much. I definitely agree with your intro that a lot of women focus on other's people's fit and don't always take a moment to think about what you think. I just ordered a trench coat from Lane Bryant. I love the first peplum. Eloquii is a good plus size brand for work wear.

[@hilarydoucette1789]

Thank you so much for this series! What a fabulous idea! And you’re totally right, we need to find our voices, and not just wear what we can make fit. I know this would be totally different from anything you’ve done, but it would be so awesome to see an equestrian-esq fashion video! I always think it looks so timeless and classy!

I always put clothes on and say “well… this is as good as it gets…”

[@staceys3235]

These pieces are a higher price point but they are an investment vs having 3 paints of low quality pants invest in 1 pair that will last you. Love these looks!

[@SometimesGlam]

Exactly! Once you have these foundation pieces you can incorporate other styles and build on them. It is definitely quality over quantity 😊

You are so right! Dressing for who you want to be is so important and really does have an effect on creating a more positive mental state. I am so glad plus size fashion has come a long way.

What a great series! I recently retired and am trying to envision what my next experience might be. Cannot wait for the next video in the series. I just retired from this aesthetic and want to try something new. I saw myself in your words when I threw on my shorts and an old t-shirt, i actually thought, why bother, I am not going anywhere... and that made me feel defeated before my day started. So, I hear you, gotta try harder and that could just jump start my next journey. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@Blackpearl1993]

This is an EXCELLENT video!

[@susie9893]

This is true. If you just base your wardrobe on items that fit, you'll end up with a wardrobe that doesn't work together - it'll feel jagged and you won't be able to create many outfits

[@s.ch.5798]

Yes! As an owner of my hair salon and work with women of all ages what you say is so true, regardless of size. Dress, hair makeup etc all play a huge roll in self esteem. And you’re right it’s not for others. You do it for yourself to feel good and help your confidence! Great video! Brilliant!

[@reginasemenenko148]

I so wish you would make "chic corporate style" a regular feature on your channel! I struggle to find skirts and slacks that look good in a size 1x/2x. It is so easy to find good corporate attire in straight sizes, but nearly impossible for me. Some of us work in an environment where we cannot wear very loud, very bright and tight-fitting clothing as it would read very "unprofessional." It can be difficult to find pencil skirts that fall just below the knee. Luckily, I found some good pieces at Lane Bryant, Eloquii and Old Navy. However, very often it's just one item at this store and two items at another. I'm glad that some folks can wear a jumpsuit to work, but it wouldn't fly in a very conservative corporate environment. I found one online store that had very good options, but pencil skirts were about $250 and dresses were around $315 to $350! What are we to do? Yes, I agree that there are more options now and I'm grateful to those designers that are trying to offer better options, but it's still really hard to find appropriate work wear in larger sizes. Maybe the fashion industry thinks "plus size" women don't work?

[@SometimesGlam]

I plan on incorporating more corporate styles into my videos and in my in the dressing room series because it is such a big part of my wardrobe too 😊 Some styles can be a little more expensive but if the quality is there they will last for years and you can use it as a foundation to create lots of different looks x
