I am putting together a capsule wardrobe for work that would get me 2 months of unique outfits! These 14 versatile pieces create over 40 outfits while keeping a clean, classic style that is suits my personal tast. Dress these pieces up with jewelry and accessories and your work week is bound to be flawless!
For reference, I am 5’ 10” and traditionally a size 22/3X. Bust 51”, waist 45.5”, and hips 51” at the time of filming.
I feel like City Chic runs true to size to a little snug. If you are between sizes, I would size up. I ordered everything in a 22 except for the black Blazer and the maroon coat- I ordered both in a 20.

Oh my goodness Meredith...YES!!!!! I absolutely love every single piece. You look so chic, stylish and pulled together. When you have classic elevated pieces like this, when you add other pieces everything " gos" and you look classy all of the time. Love it!🙌🏾😃
Linda- Thank you so much!!! I’m trying to get classy and chic like you! I hope that you are doing well!
@BigonStyle 😊🫶🏾 Girl, you were rocking every look! I'm doing good. Trying to get myself going to make a requested video. 🤭
The straps were for keeping your pant leg down while putting on boots 😊
I fully agree with that lady. You look fabulous in jewel tones!
Thank you- I am shocked at how accurate the colors were, it has really steered how I shop!
I love your attitude! Positive and supportive! ❤
What a well put together capsule wardrobe Meredith!!! And you definitely wear it all so beautifully!!
Oh my goodness, Susan, thank you so much!
@@BigonStyle You’re so welcome… always look forward to your content!!!
The skirt with heels, looks great!
Lovely collection. I'm not a minimalist, but I'm also not a morning person, so I love the idea of a capsule collection that takes the requirement of intelligent thought out of my mornings 😂
I would love to see you do something with Bloomchic and as a fellow wide shoe wearer, I'd love to see you do a video on office appropriate wide width/plus size footwear!!!
Amy, I have been working on building a bloomchic cart! I will make it happen- and what a great idea on the shoes, thank you!! There is no intelligent thought in my mornings 🤣
That navy square neck top and the skirt with the long zipper really does great things for your shape 😊
Everything in this haul looks amazing on you!
I love that you are now picking out your own clothes!
Your style is shining through and you are no longer keeping the frumpy clothes in your styling boxes!
Your style sense is way better❣️❣️❣️
Thank you, Laurie! I am still getting them, but may be nixing them soon (maybe I’ll keep stitch fix 🤷🏼♀️). I really appreciate you so much!!
I gasped when I saw the skirt with the zipper down the back. What an awesome idea! I especially loved it with the coat. What a fabulous capsule wardrobe, and you looked great in everything!
I’d love to see a pop of bright color. Maybe a teal. I think plus size women hide in dark colors too much. I say that as my closet is mostly black, but I come from a time where you tried to hide if you were a plus size. At 64 and I’m daring to add color. Thanks for showing us a beautiful wardrobe.
Thank you! I do love having some color in my life, though, I admit that I default to muted tones typically. I saw so many beautiful pieces when I was looking, and would have had tons of colors and silhouettes if I did not need them to mix and match! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment
I'm not a plus size but I love how you prove that plus size can look good with the right clothes. I think the skirt is awesome. Love this concept of this. You don't need a ton of clothes for a trip or everyday. I did this for a 5 day trip and everyone was amazed at how little I took and still had room to pack in a long dress and shoes on the return trip. My bag is an under the plane seat size. So a few coordinating pieces go a long way. Keep up the good work on educational videos
Thank you so much, Shirley!! I need some packing tips! We are going to Germany for 10 days in November and I can only take one bag because of trains! Packing is going to be an adventure!
Have fun on your trip. I'm sure you will figure out a packing strategy. It's too bad my sister in law couldn't figure it out. Her trip to Europe was 8 bags and 1 of them was just shoes. Poor hubby, he must have been embarrassed
You look sensational in all of the outfits.
Thank you so much!
I am working on a capsule wardrobe. What i am finding out that if you invest in better quality items, and build a wardrobe around a capsule wardrobe you actually save money and look very put togethet. You can go to your closet and find anything that matches. No days of I dont have anything to wear. Nikol Johnson gives a list of items of every women needs in her wardrobe to have a witkjng wardrobe. Thank you for this awesome video.
Ok. I’m checking out City Chic tonight! I have a new job that requires me to by physically active while wearing business professional clothes and my current clothes aren’t great at bra coverage when I’m not just sitting in front of a computer.😂🤦♀️ These clothes are great!
Thank you- I was pretty impressed and hate my bra showing in any situation! I hope that you are enjoying the new job!
Love that collection. I'm not in office work anymore but still love clothing 😅. So blazers now I wear with jeans and dresses. Thank you for all your time and effort putting these shoots together 😊
This wardrobe is absolutely 🔥🔥🔥on you! Great job. I'm retired so I don't need a capsule work wardrobe but these are really lovely pieces and well put together.
Thank you so much!! It was a lot of fun to put together (but a little overwhelming to edit!!)
I am also retired, but I almost would go to work for this capsule.
The operative word here is "almost." LOL :)@@user-ij9vt6cn2c
These looks are all so good on you!
Thank you, Ruth!
You looked amazing in everything. City Chic makes up a large portion of my wardrobe in the UK. My treat items are usually from Monsoon. Pricey but great quality. They specialise in ethnic styles which I love as I like an element of rock chick in my off duty wardrobe. Do you have Monsoon in the US? City Chic do some lovely dresses. I have bought a few that button down the front to wear as like duster jackets with trousers. They have belts which I tie at the back to cinch in and give some shape. My go to coat is a trench coat with a detachable hood. They are not too hot when in shopping centres but you can layer underneath for chilly weather. The hood means you are OK in wind and rain. They are a classic style and can be dressed up or down. My every day trench is from City Chic and is in the classic light beige and machine washable on a gentle cycle. Glad you have found this brand as they offer good value for money and have some good sales bargains. Wendy
Wendy, thank you so much! I just looked up monsoon and they are beautiful! I think that I need to try them out- thank you for the recommendation! I have only recently started with City Chic and am so impressed with everything that I’ve purchased!
Ahh I almost died at stirrup pants😂
Meredith, you could be a model!! You're graceful, beautiful, and funny. Love the clothes that you picked out!!! Thank. You or your chanel.❤
Oh my goodness, thank you! I had a lot of fun with this one- but editing all of the videos together was crazy 🤣
You look so great in all of the clothes 😍 💕 😊
Thank you so much
Love this video….you look amazing
Thank you, Marla!
That coat is so flattering. Have fun in Germany.
Thank you Linda! I’m so excited!
The salute when you were obeying the imaginary order.😂🤣😂 I don’t know why but that cracked me up. 😁
Thank you! 🤣🤣
I want to add...I love pin stripe pants. I want to get a pair now that I'm a lot bigger and intend to wear with t-shirt and trainers for casual. Love mixing g and matching ...with my own rules. Lol😊
This is one of my favorite videos you've done (though I adore the fancy dresses!!!) But so lovely and classy and practical. Great taste and style!
Now you can still wear the bigger jeans by adding a piece of elastic and 2 buttons they sale button hole elastic and just cut a button hole and hand stitch the button hole.
The pin striped blazer is amazing!!
It looks amazing without a shirt.
I was shocked, but I totally agree!! I would need something that sits under the jacket (not visible) in case one of those little clasps comes undone 😳
Maybe a sleek camisole, bandeau with delicate trim, or shape wear that can be used as lingerie style outerwear.
Wow... love this wardrobe!!
That was fabulous! You do so well with all the fashion trends. I just love your attitude.
I loved all of it.
Liked them all, but LOVED that skirt & the over coat!
Meredith, you look amazing.
Thank you, Cathy!
You look fabulous in every single outfit! Thank you for sharing with us! ❤
I'm not a minimalist. I need one of those moving trailers to go on vacation lol 😆. Love your videos ❤
Susan, that is so me!! We are going to Germany for 10 days and my husband keeps telling me that I can only take one bag because of all of the cities and trains… I already have packing anxiety!!
@@BigonStyle lol . I'm in the same position. We are going to California for 2 weeks and las Vegas for a week . I need my stuff . My has made me promise to only one suit case . Ugh don't know if I can do it .
BTW we are in Houston Texas as well. O wow this heat is something else 😳
You look great in everything
As an Australian I am pleasantly surprised to see City Chic featured here and having seen the white pants on a real person, I might give them a go! [I know models are real people too but you know, not under studio lighting; I never feel I can trust advertising f white pants] Your capsule is gorgeous, and jewel tones definitely work for you!
Thank you so much! My best friend just moved to Melbourne!! ❤️😭😭. She sent me a picture of a City Chic yesterday! I really felt like the white pants were nice, I loved the front slit!
Outfit #9 looks stunning
I love the purple and black coat and the outfit you were wearing when you started out as well. xoxo
Thank you for sharing this. Loved it all!
Thank you so much for watching! I appreciate you!!
Fantastic video! You look beautiful in all the outfits! And lovely to see your little helper!! 🐶❤😊
Fantastic video!! your personality is GREAT!! The pants in looks 24-26 were sooooooo slimming!!
Wonderful job with this capsule! Such a pleasure to watch. Thanks for the great ideas!
Thank you so much! This was such a fun one to put together (but then like a jigsaw puzzle to edit!)
I am so glad I found your channel. I am also plus size and tall, so I feel like I can actually get a pretty good idea of how something will look on my body. You're gorgeous!
Having to go back into the office soon. I need to break out my work wear and see what fits and rebuild my work wardrobe and stop purchasing sweats and leggings. Ugh
I totally hear you- but have fun with it!! I hope that you are going back to something exciting! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!
You are looking amazing! I loved everyone of the piece on you.
Thank you so much!!
This is great! I am wanting to dress in just this general style for work, and this has been so very helpful.
Girl, the white pants and jacket looked so good on you. Everything looked wonderful on you. I’ve got wide shoulders too and you and I know we can rock a blazer.
So engaging..i.would watch paper bags being worn..utter relaxation..thank you 💙uk
You are so sweet! Thank you so much!
Once again, I absolutely love your choices! Such cute clothes and you look wonderful in them.
Thank you, Mary!
I just love your videos! ❤🏴
Thank you, Carolyn ❤️
What a stunning capsule!
Thank you so much, Karen!
Meredith, I loved most of your choices. Some looked fine tucked in; others in my opinion didn't. Overall they were great choices. I would have picked them myself if I had the money. Enjoy them.
Thank you once again. 🎉
Thank you, Julia!!!
The oat with the skirt are devine🎉
Thank you!! I love that combo!!
I love your attitude and your content. You are beautiful!
Thank you so much!! You are so sweet!
You look great! Thanks for the ideas!
Thanks so much!
Great pieces. My favorite is the maroon coat. Love the color.
Thank you Karlene! I love the coat, it is so beautiful!
You knocked it out of the ball park with all items. But out fit you are wearing in your video is spot in. So flattering on you.
You are tucking in tops and looking great! I haven’t tucked for years because I thought it would emphasize my belly. I will tuck when I choose from now on . Outfits are all beautiful. The green sweater is fabulous, in all outfit but with the pencil skirt, dynamite!
You look great!!!
Thank you!! I really appreciate you!
Wow! Those pieces are fabulous. You look amazing in every combination! Love, love, love this video. ❤
Thank you so, so much! I truly appreciate you!
I reellt love the look when you tuck the tops 💕
Thank you so much!
I live across the Sabine River from u
You in West Louisiana. February is usually our coldest month. For years I have not even really had a true overcoat. Now I’ve lost 125 lbs I will probably need one for a couple of months lol.
Congratulations!!!! You are going to need a coat! I’m so proud of your weight loss!
Oh my goodness!! 125lbs! What an incredible journey you must have been! Definitely get that coat and keep yourself warm!😁🍁✨
You look fantastic in everything Meredith! I love your style and fashion-sense! 😁
Thank you so much, I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment!
Wonderful job!
Thank you!
I would also gravitate toward the wide leg as a larger woman, however I think your sister in-law might be right about the classic tapered leg on you it made your legs look longer and more elegant. Sorry if that was a bit personal. Clarks do a water proofing spray you could use on your coat.
Thank you Rachel- you know what, I thought that when I was editing. They really looked better than the wide leg. Dang it! I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts, it is very helpful!
I am so impressed! You really don’t need anyone else choosing your clothing. You have a very good sense of what suits you. I love the capsule wardrobe!
Classy! The clothes are fantastic. You look beautiful and classy.
Thank you so much!
Im late to the game, but so happy to see this. I really like more color, but this is so classy! I need you to help dress me! Thank you Meredith- I LOVE seeing Lulu!!
Thank you so much!!
Loved the video, Meredith. I’m sure it was a lot of work but you offered so many great ideas for building a capsule wardrobe. Makes dressing so much simpler! All you lifestyle changes are showing; you look fabulous! 🧡
Love the pinstripe pants
That you, Sophie!
I need that coat in my life!
It really is beautiful! This has all of the clothes that I was wearing-liketk.it/4jWfz - I was surprised that the coat wasn’t hot!
I like your outfit #13. The shirt looks great tucked out. You and I would look good with a boat neck, neck line. It isn't quite square like you are wearing here; but it is never the less flattering. I also like the black top and skinny pants #17. I am sure I liked a LOT more but these choices but these two stood out so far. I love the purple and black coat.
I found your channel a few days ago and love your energy, beauty, and style!
Thank you so much, Shani!!
This is the best plus sized or any sized capsule wardrobe I've ever seen
Thank you so much, Kelly!
Fantastic! Headed over to City Chic now 🤩 from one 22 to another 🥰
I hope that you find something awesome!! I personally think that they run a little small in pants! ❤️ thank you!
Okay…that black and white shirt in the intro was made for you…looks fantastic!!
Thank you, Anna! That one is from Torrid a long time ago- I really love it!
@@BigonStyle ❤️
Oh my goodness yes!! I had forgotten that stir up pants existed! We wore them for ease of putting boots on! 🤦🏻♀️. Lol. Hope they never come back. They felt funny on my feet. Lol
BTW, just found you and loved your video! New subscriber from Missouri.
18, 36 fav....neat idea. thanks
Thank you so much!!
This is so great!! I enjoy your videos so much, you're hilarious and real. Thank you!!❤️
Thank you so much, Pam!
I think you looked great in everything!
Thank you, Joan!
I’m a few days late to the party, I was on vacation visiting family out of state and my sister didn’t remember her password. 😂. ANYWAY… this was fantastic! I needed a capsule wardrobe for vacation because I felt like I was bringing way too many items because most needed to be paired with specific items.
You look fantastic in the white pants and I totally agree with you that the wide legs look best on you! Your height really shines in the pants and I think that’s a huge plus! At 73, I’m now nearly 3” shorter than I was in my youth but I rarely admit it. LoL. Love love love the haul and the concept and your choices! Big win Meredith!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Love the clothes and how many outfits combinations ❤❤❤
Thank you! It was a really cool puzzle that turned out really well!
Love the blazers and jackets. I’m a fan of jackets in autumn. I tend to wear them unbuttoned. I’m retired so I can wear exactly what I please every day. I’m in Scotland so, as the weather gets colder, I like a padded coat. I thought your capsule wardrobe and the variety you created was fantastic. 👍🏽
Thank you so much Pamela!! I work with family, so I can wear what I want (within reason) on days that we don’t have clients in- but we are in finance, so this capsule is spot on! I hope that the weather is beautiful in Scotland!
Meredith, I loved every outfit and you looked gorgeous and very classy!! I really loved the black blazer. I’ve been looking for one forever but they never look like I imagined. I am also apple and think I need structure to not look sloppy. I wish they had a City Chic store in my area so I could try different sizes on. I love your fashion sense and you are my fashion inspiration.
Meredith, I'm new to your channel, and I think I pretty much binge-watched your past videos in one sitting (I forgive you for my missed sleep). You are such a joy to listen to and watch. I so so so admire your body positivity and positivity in general and you've actually inspired me to class up/update my wardrobe. Thank you so much for these videos and for just being you. We could definitely use more people like you in the world.
Oh my goodness, Bonnie! I truly appreciate you sending this message! I really think that we need more positivity in the world- both outwardly and to ourselves! Thank you so much for watching my videos- it is really so helpful! You really brightened my day!!
Love the wardrobe- was hoping Meredith was going to say where she got her black and white top - also very lovely
Great outfits. Wish I could find some of these in Canada
I wish that we had actual storefronts! It looks like they ship to Canada, but it takes a lot longer and is surely more costly. City Cic is based in Australia, my best friend actually moved to Melbourne (from the US) a little over a month ago, and has sent me pictures of City Chic stores every time she passes them! I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a message!
I stumbled upon your site. I'm so happy about it! This is a great video. I learned a lot. I wear the same size you do but find it very difficult to find clothing that fits. I love love love the overcoat. What fiber is it made out of?
Congratulations on your weight loss! I totally agree with you on buying what you love. I love the Black and White top with the black pants. I also like seeing you inter act with your dog. I like the skin tight pants, because it is a constant reminder that I am on a weight loss journey and if I cheat it will show. I don't think it is the jewel tone of your cloths, it is the bright red lipstick you wear that makes a dramatic difference. Watch your video and notice when you wear the bright red lipstick compared to the others muted colors. I love that last black blazer, but without the shirt underneath it.
Sandra, I hadn’t even thought about the lipstick making that much of a difference, but you are right!! Thank you so much!!
My dog, Lulu, loves being right where I am, I was worried at first, but people seem to be just fine with her coming into frame!
I really appreciate you so much!
I like the outfit you are wearing at the start of your video. It looks good on you. Yes it looks like you lost weight, looking good!
Thank you!! I am down just over 60 pounds since January, it is really slowing down, but that is ok!
Meredith just discovered your channel an love it I’m a 16/18 depending on sizing I loved this video I always had a wardrobe that I could inter coordinate. I love your outfits an your choices were so flattering. Enjoying watching your reaction’s
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts! I really have enjoyed City Chic- the quality of the clothes were really nice!
Meredith!!!! I am BEYOND thankful I found you this past week! I am also a plus size professional who honestly hasn’t worn business casual clothes because I simply cannot find ones that fit. I am also on a weight loss journey (just starting with what I think is the right mindset finally) and I was looking and there is such a void on RUclips but your videos!!!! They are everything to me! I have binged them all and can’t wait for more! I am going to take the leap and try out stitch fix plus size and see what it can do for me. I would seriously also LOVE more content on your weight loss journey and would love the inspiration and to support you!!! Just a thought, but I’m sure you’re sooo busy! I’ll be there for it either way! Thanks for your content and putting yourself out there! -Heather
Heather, you are amazing! I think that we have to get in the right place mentally before we can do anything. I also had to work on getting my eating right before exercise because my joints hurt so bad, and I was just so freaking tired all of the time! I totally believe in you!!!
I love the skirt and your shirt choices. I stay far away from the front slit pants. They are not for me.
All the pieces and outfits look amazing on you, very professional. I agree, the rule of not wearing white in the winter is silly, I love my white clothes. I also appreciate this video because I work in a law office and see very casual dress becoming the norm, especially with the younger generation. Dressing up a bit makes me feel better!
I have read that from so many people- I am in finance and we are always semi-on, but pretty business casual on days that clients come in!
My favorite of all your videos. You look terrific. We did the German markets at Christmas time. It was so much fun, I know you’ll enjoy it.
Oh my goodness, thank you so much!! This one was a challenge to edit, but I was so pleased with it! I am so excited to go to Germany, we just got my daughter’s passport in!! Did you have a favorite city? I actually went with my mother in law and some ladies from church in 2019 and fell in love with Rothenburg!
@@BigonStyle I visited Rothenburg ob der Tauber many years ago. Loved the walled medieval city. I agree, it’s probably my favorite German city. I remember a big Christmas store. We were last in Munich Germany in December 2019 before the world shut down. We visited many of the Christmas markets and got to the point where we could no longer stand the smell of gluhwein. It was a magical place to visit at Christmas time and an experience you’ll never forget.
This is a nice basic wardrobe, which is what it is meant to be. The standout piece is that zip skirt! It is amazing with the full coat. I believe your weight loss is really showing! When I saw you in the black and white top, I wanted to go back to previous videos for a comparison. All that aside, nobody rocks jewel tones like you do. You should find a basic top like the white one that comes in a variety of COLORS.
Love the style and show. I may be odd-man out here, but I thought you looked stunning in those pants that you called skinny! But you do you, as you said. 😉
And that COAT! Adorable!
When I watched it while editing. 8 thought that they looked so nice on, and have worn them to work a couple of times already- but, they are not as comfortable as the wide legs. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts!
