Plus Size Vintage Style Outfit for Work Featuring a Long Leopard Print Skirt from an Antique Store and Pink T-Shirt from Family Dollar


I got the tea-length leopard print fan skirt from now de-funct antique store in Auburn, Maine called Orphan Annie's Antiques. It was $5. The elastic waist band is shot to pieces though, so I have to fasten it with a safety pin then cover that with a belt. I put in the effort because it is such a fun skirt! An even bigger bargain was the the top, which I bought for $3 at Family Dollar one week when I had a laundry crisis. (This was before I moved to the new apartment, where laundry is thankfully on the premises!) 

Why It Works as Plus Size Pin Up Style Outfit for Work 

The pin up flair comes from the animal prints. In my hair I also have a zebra print rosette from Family Dollar to go along with the zebra print ballet flats from Target. It's a mixed print element to go with the leopard print skirt.

So many bargain hunter pieces! As I mentioned in the opening, the skirt was $5 at the antque store and the pink t-shirt was $3 from Family Dollar. The hair rosette was $2 from Family Dollar. The ballet flats were $8 from Target clearance. The white belt was $5 at Old Navy. The glasses were $1 from Dollar Tree. My necklace was a mix of hand-me-down vintage costume jewelry beads froma  broken necklace that once belonged to my lovely and stylish Aunt Betty and the pink beads are from a $3 necklace that broke from Family Dollar. See? Told you is was a bargain hunting fashion coup!

Plus Size Pin Up Styling Tips

This t shirt is really form flattering and very cute. The high neckline works with the tighter form of the shirt to balance and stay work appropriate but attractive. The wide belt is always form flattering, too.
