Today on the blog, I’m sharing two of my favorite plus size vintage style ideas for running errands and a date night in the city!
Saturday (4/2/22) was a busy day for me. I had a bunch of errands to run in the daytime, and then later that evening, Travis and I had plans to for a date night.
We attended a play at the Detroit Repertory Theatre. (It was The Rep’s return to public shows after being closed for two years because of the pandemic!)
I wanted to wear something fun for running my errands to I decided to wear my new 90s vintage style pants with a retro Aaliyah grapic tee!
I just feel like if I have to do the mundane stuff, like paying the bills and grocery shopping, I might as well wear a fun outfit!
HOW WOULD I DESCRIBE MY STYLE?
My style is casual, street style. I like to mix modern styles with vintage.
I don’t really follow trends for two reasons: (1) it doesn’t fit my budget, and (2) I just like to do my own thing!
I’m still learning how to create my own, unique style and so far, it’s been a fun journey! Sometime soon, I’ll write a blog post sharing my favorite style bloggers and creatives.
WHERE DO I BUY MY CLOTHES?
I try to buy my clothes at the thrift store, resale/vintage shops, or consignment stores. If I do shop fast fashion, then it’s usually Old Navy because Old Navy jeans fit me well.
And sometimes if I see a graphic tee that I love, then I’ll get it from a major retailer.
I also like to to create a capsule wardrobe for each season. This way it’s budget-friendly and I don’t get overwhelmed with having too many clothes.
WHERE DO I BUY MY SHOES?
I like to buy my shoes from brands like Vans and Timberland. Since I prefer to have a seasonal capsule wardrobe, I buy quality brand shoes that will last me for a few years.
Occasionally, I will buy shoes from a resale or thrift store. You can find brand new shoes at resale/thrift stores. You just have to know what to look out for!

RUNNING ERRANDS, PLUS SIZE VINTAGE STYLE
For running my errands, I decided to wear my new, comfy 90s vintage pants with an Aalyiah graphic tee, my favorite jean jacket, and .
Last month, I bought my vintage pants at Mama Coo’s Boutique in Corktown, Detroit. The pants are 90s vintage athletic pants. They’re a little baggy and very comfortable to wear.
I was even thinking about wearing my pants to the theatre (haha), but since the weather was still cold, I felt it was the best time to wear my vintage purple dress. Once the weather warms up, I won’t be able to wear the dress.
Mama Coo’s is one of my favorite shops to find resale and vintage styles in Detroit. I also love getting my accessories and home decor there. If you’re ever in the area, make sure you check out the boutique!

DATE NIGHT VINTAGE STYLE
Then for date night, I wore a purple vintage dress with a black faux leather jacket and snake print knee-high boots. My favorite part about this outfit was mixing the prints!
I wore a 1984 vintage Sky West belt with my vintage dress. It was a lucky find I discovered at the thrift store.
