For this month’s lipedema-friendly outfit, I had this idea to try to copycat famous plus-sized people’s outfits. They pay for stylists, so why should we reinvent the wheel? Who is one of the best dressed ladies around? None other than Oprah!
She has an article about foolproof outfits and has this image as one of her go-to’s. I’m attempting to copy this in darker tones for our not-as-smooth legs, but with similar style from Amazon, and obviously for WAY less than what she most likely pays for her look. I think I read her version of the cardigan was like $1500. Gulp.
Basically, the outfit is a straight-leg trouser, pointier shoes, a fleece collared cardigan, and a scoop-neck tunic tshirt. I’ll never be able to copy amazing hair like this, so we’ll do our best. OK, we can do this!
Here’s what I’ve found on Amazon. The hardest thing to find was a cardigan with a collar, but he one I found has a nice texture so it’s a good compromise. I’m going to use my trusty Chelsea boots and iron a solid crease in the britches:
Are we close here? I really like this outfit and the pants are super comfortable, especially for telework. The blue earrings are out of my normal comfort zone but I love the pop of color!
