Fall 09 - Plus Size Skirt and Sweater Outfit by Jjill
This look is so easy and comfortable.Check out the pieces that make up the whole ensemble. They even suggest an alternate top, the elbow sleeve tee, for when the weather is not quite cool enough. Everything is machine washable except for the cashmere wrap. All of these pieces are so versatile, they're sure to become staples in your wardrobe. As I always like to mention, size XL is an 18/20 at Jjill. I like to go to the store and try things on, then if I need to order a plus size, I use their concierge service with free shipping.

Fall is a good season for Coldwater Creek. I like their sweaters and jackets best, as well as some of the long sleeve tops. This Knit Double V-neck Top is an obvious choice because it's pretty enough to stand alone and also goes well under a jacket. Add a scarf for even more options. Available in sizes 1X-3X in black, for $49.95 USD.
