lol do not worry! This is not a fashion forward bunch. Try Amazon essentials, their solid t-shirts are actually really nice. You can get square neck, long sleeves to look a little more put together or get a bunch of white or black ones and throw on a casual blazer/jacket with them and nice jeans. Wrinkle free button down shirts are good too though I haven’t tried Amazon, would always get these at the Brooks Brothers outlet. |
Just buy 2-3 outfits from a real store that give you some mix and match options. 3 good outfits worth of pieces can easily make around 30 different combinations. |
OP, just go to the Loft petites section. That way you can try on items before purchasing. |
That was my initial thoughts, but OP is short, so I guess they might be ankle length? |
+1 and I like to feel how comfortable the fabrics are. That's been a big issue with random Amazon clothing purchases for me. |
Don't shop at Amazon. Try Macy's. Also, just because it's "hybrid" doesn't mean you just make half an effort all the time. At home you can wear pajamas, and at work you should look polished! |
OMG 127 is NOT chunky! |
She’s 5’1 |
Lots of people wear capris. Come on. |
Mid-fifties capri-wearer here.
I wear them a ton in the summer. What would I wear instead? Mom jeans? Shorts? I’d love to find some mid-rise khakis. |
We're talking about the office so no, not jeans or shorts. Wear slacks or a dress. If you find capri length slacks that look good, go for it, but that length is unflattering on most people especially those with short legs. |
Honestly I’d suggest that you go to the outlet mall near national harbor and get some separates at banana republic factory store and or j crew. Brooks brothers if you need something a little more formal . Better selection than Macys and affordable prices. |
I second trying Amazon Essentials for T-shirts. I’ve had luck with Amazon Essentials for other things as well.
I’ve also had luck with Lillusory sold on Amazon. |
I’ve gotten several cute things off of Amazon but I’ve also had some bad misses. It’s hard to tell which it’s going to be until you get it in person. Fortunately, you can return the clothes…you just have to remember to do it!
I had a similar experience and got a bunch of clothes off of Poshmark, Mercari, ThredUP, and Ebay. You can get BR, J Crew, Anne Taylor, Everlane, etc. at big discounts. The shipping can add up, so stick to sellers with multiple items you like. I’d get several cute tops to go with neutral pants. Easiest way to not break the bank but still have variety. |
OP here. I have read the replies and listened. I live very close to a number of the retailers listed so I will watch for good sales and shop in person. |
