I'm a 50 year old woman in Austin, TX. I'm 5'5", about 200 lbs, and generally wear size 12-14, 31 pants. My favorite places to shop are Anthropologie, Nordstrom/Rack, and Athleta.
These are my favorite jeans under $100. At 5'5", they hit the top of my feet. I wish they were a smidge shorter, but definitely not worth altering for me!
Wit & Wisdom Gracie Skyrise Wide Leg Jeans
This dress is so pretty! The embroidery is a bright green color and is a great contrast. Beware that you will need a strapless bra because of the open back. Totally worth it! I bought a large.
By Anthropologie Puff-Sleeve Midi Dress
I wasn't sure about this until I tried it on. I have the shortest torso, so it's not as cropped on me as it is on the model. It's super lightweight and breezy. It'll be perfect for the steamy Austin summers.
By Anthropologie Sleeveless Boxy Pintuck Top
I have quite a collection of Tobie maxi dresses. It's a classic silhouette and can be dressed up or down. I love the floral print - it'll be perfect for Easter/Mother's Day. Definitely size down on this one!
Exquise Tobie Maxi Dress
I love these pants! Size down.
The Colette Knit Crop Wide-Leg Pants by Maeve
I got these in white, size 12. They're a great value!
NYDJ Mia Cool Embrace® High Waist Palazzo Flare Jeans
