I know, I know. It's black. It's just too hard to escape.
Plus Size Preppie Clothes

I fell in love with this outfit the moment I saw it on my Pinterest feed. Even though it's black, I feel it meets enough criteria to be considered preppy (I'd classify this as downtown prep). This outfit is easy to wear, looks well put together, and with some minor modifications for shoes, this look can be seasonless. I'd consider this a step above daily casual and would wear it when I wanted to look good and casual at the same time. This would cover baby showers, parties where you may not know a lot of people, etc.

Graphic pants// These are the Pixie pants from Old Navy and are said to be very close to the phenomenally popular J.Crew Minnie pant. I know several people whom have pairs and they love them.

White shirt//  I chose a tee that was close to the original picture. Of course, you can use a different shirt but I suggest picking something with a bit of volume. I like this linen popover and this sweater.

Sandals// These strappy sandals also came in black, but I liked the mix of the black and tan. I've been seeing a lot of brown and black together in the fall/winter collections and it's growing on me. I also appreciate the thicker heel as I'm slightly (ok, a lot) clumsily in heels. These heels are only $20, which is a absolute steal.

Clutch// Clutches are one of those things I feel most people spend too much money on something they use very infrequently. This faux leather clutch is under $25, which I think is very fair and would get the job done.

Watch// This pretty Kate Spade watch costs more than the entire outfit combined. As opposed to clutches, I do feel that you should spend some money on a good watch if you wear them everyday. I like this watch because it's very classic and can be worn for the next 10-15 years without too much worry. Kate Spade also has a very similar model in Rose Gold.
