Would you like to have the perfect wardrobe? Would you like to know down to the smallest detail what you need in order to look great no matter the occasion? If the answer is yes then you need to pay close attention to the tips below because they are just what every plus size diva needs to look fantastic year round!
The combinations below will create 50 complete outfits minus the accessories meaning you will have no choice but to look like a million dollars every time you get dressed!
Combinations to Create 50 separate Outfits
- 29 Tops
- 15 Bottoms (Pants and Skirts)
- 13 Pairs of Shoes
- 11 purses
With this combination of wardrobe items you will be able to mix and match to your hearts content! The key is to calculate the cost per wear of a particular item. For example if you purchase a top for $100 and wear it three times then the cost per wear is roughly $33 (100/33=33.33) I know what your thinking, your saying if I have as many clothes as you suggested then I will never get catch up on the cost per wear. Well if you buy good quality clothing up front, meaning spending a little more then they will survive several washings and last you more than just one season. Additionally, if you combine classic pieces with trendy items you will get more bang for your buck.
How much will you spend? Realistically, expect to spend between 2-3 thousand dollars on everything maybe more depending on the brands you choose. The thought is to get quality clothing that will last. You can go budget but you may only get a few wears before it fads or tears up on you. Quoting a close friend, “If you buy high end stuff you will only have to cry once.”
I am sure most of you noticed I did not include accessories or underwear in this list. The goal is to make you look your best on the outside. We will deal with the other items in another post. Fret not budget minded shoppers tomorrow I will cover how to get more expensive items on a budget.

Great tips Glen! The ideal is to have as many items that can work together, so you can create a variety of different outfits, with the same items. Accessorizing is also a big key in creating different outfits.
