Workwear Wednesday: 3 Super Chic Summer Work Outfits For Plus Size Women

Hey there curvy ladies,

As much as we love getting cute, we can’t forget about work wear. Whether you work for a laid back corporation or a “No dress down Friday’s” kind of environment, we have some dashing office looks perfect for you. When shopping for work pieces remember to look for things that can take you from office to dinner. I have certainly been caught up in just having “work clothes”. The creator of Chic Style Edit, Alissa is always showing us how to wear fashionably work pieces that can be worn many places. Let’s look at some examples.

This look is perfect for the woman that is constantly on the go. The kind of professional who spends most of her day running from one meeting to the next. She barely has time to eat lunch. A chic sheath dress with a cute pair of ballet flats offers comfort and style. The necklace adds a subtle flair. As I said before, you want pieces that can take you from day to night. Switch the shoes and jewelry, and this dress instantly becomes a date night worthy outfit with nude pumps, a clutch, and a chunky necklace. The ballet slippers are great for running Saturday errands with denim shorts and off the shoulder top.
