Pinup Style Plus Size Outfit for Work: Purple Vintage Style Cowl Neck Sweater with Glass Pendant in Purple


I made this pendant myself and I love it. The glass bead pendant was a gift from my mother. The rest of the beads were from various craft stores. I have neglected my necklace-making hobby for a while. Gotta get back on it. I love doing it! 

Why It Works as Vintage Style Plus Size Workwear

The cowl neck lightweight sweater is a classic vintage style top and very pretty. The colors are pretty and the solid color shirt helps spotlight the glass pendant necklace.

Making your own necklace is certainly a budget saver! Not pictured in this selfie is my skirt, which is a plain black pencil skirt that is very flattering. I purchased it at a thrift store in New Orleans called "No Fleas Market." It was only $10 and it's a great basic piece.

I've been rewatching Mad Men. Form fitting tops like this cowl neck and high waist pencil skirt bottoms is the MO for Joan Holloway Harris. It's such a pretty and flattering silhouette for someone with hourglass curves. I want to incorporate that more often for work. It's a classic 60s vintage look and just really attractive.
