I also like Uniqlo for basics and think you could get some nice enough business casual. Eg

At OP’s height most capris will probably be ankle length. |

At 5.1 I buy mid-calf capris to get full length pants without having to alter. |

I wear capris all sprung and summer. Don't understand the hatred here for them. I love them and don't really gaf if others don't. They are comfortable and get dressed up with a nice top and sandals. I haven't dressed for others in decades (size 2, mid-50s). |

Capri's are back for the super fashionable. It's one of those trends where most of us do NOT actually look good in them, but fashion isn't always flattering. |

I cannot imagine it is that formal. Buy one pair of nice pants and a few tops, and a blazer or two that will go well with those tops over dark jeans. Am I crazy? This should be a step below formal business casual? |

| I work in a public university. For summer I wear linen looking drawn string pants from Marshall’s and old navy crew neck tshirts. I bring a neutral cardigan in case the office is cold. Sometimes I wear casual dresses with a cardigan. Fir shoes I wear flats or white sneakers. |

I have a couple dresses from Amazon, but overall the selection and quality has been disappointing. The fabric wears out really quickly.
I second the advice to go to Macys instead (or shop online, the stores near me are picked over). You need one or two pairs of slacks, a couple tops, and a sweater or blazer. I go to the office once a week, and all winter I wore the same pair of black slacks + a top or sweater set. I'll wear dresses in the summer but the A/C in the office means slacks are fine year round. |

+1 I love capris. They also look great on tall thin women with long legs. |

| I like Loft. Go to the sale rack in the back. There is always business casual and it's good quality. Be careful with some of the sweaters, they seem to pill but most things I get are fine. |

I have these two dresses and they aren’t too bad.

I bought a version of that second one based on a recommendation from here and it was terrible. |
