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.

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!

It is possible to have too many Tobie Shirt dresses? If it is, I haven't found that limit yet.
