I didn’t set out to build a Spring uniform, but here we are.
Any time I want to leave the house looking put together I find I reach for my high-waisted cropped/ankle jeans (try 100% denim, you might be surprised how good it feels), a graphic/patterned tee, excellent shoes, and a light functional (AKA derived from a piece of clothing previously wore for a certain function, not meaning “non-broken”) jacket.
Example.
The brown Marants have proven to be quite versatile. They’ll work for fall and winter too.
Here are some other options, at a range of price points (except Birkenstocks because why on earth buy a lookalike?) I’ll be dressed like this until that week this summer when our temperatures exceed 90 degrees and I flee, flushed, to maxidresses. The Gucci slides might follow, I imagine block-heeled sandals will play a supporting role.
BTW, UNIQLO is having a Three Tees for the Price of Two promotion, here. Moomintrolls included.

Lovely photo!
I wish I could buy Isabel Marant boots here (I have to try it in person,as well as to feel and smell cosmetics)
Or a lot of other things…. Uniqlo doesn’t ship here (and I can’t find one of my Uniqlo t-shirts ,lost somewhere in my (or maybe my son’s) closet)
It seems that I’m in a whining mood :-)

@dottoressa, You never whine. You just express dignified disappointment;).
Were it not for the price, those Gucci slides would be calling my name. However, I do have the Birkenstock Gizeh in silver and will be back in those once the weather warms up. Liking you choices here.
@Jane, The slides are amazing. And they come in a range of patterns. My justification is that I buy my t-shirts at UNIQLO;).

@Jane, ;)
Like this look. A jacket is a must for me as I get cold easily. Good choices for a simple look.
@Mary anne, Thank you. Any good jacket recommendations?
@Mary anne, Usually LLBean, but I found some at……..(wait for it)…….Costco.
A classic look. Love those Gucci slides.
Wish I could find 100% denim jeans in a petite.
@Julie, How unfair! Nowhere? Let me look….https://www.shopstyle.com/action/loadRetailerProductPage?id=446631261&pid=uid2249-1072693-72 (but raw denim), https://www.shopstyle.com/action/loadRetailerProductPage?id=620411341&pid=uid2249-1072693-72 Do either of those work? Disclosure, those are monetized links because I am a ShopStyle member. If you go to Shopstyle yourself however, and search for Petite 100% cotton you might find something!
Love all your choices and I think the Gucci slides would be so great on you. I have them in black and wear them all the time. I too, love those functional work jackets.
@Kathy, Your jackets are amazing. And, I confess, I own the slides now. Could not resist. Birkenstocks, Havaianas, Gucci. Ha!
These are perfect for you. The Gucci slides are perfect for me.
@Leslie K, Ha! They are perfect in so many ways…
I still mourn the single silver gizeh my daughter borrowed and then left in London. I just threw out the remaining shoe, three years later.
I too love maxi dresses when it gets to be 90+ degrees but it’s hard to find them sometimes. Where do you find a good selection for women of a certain age who don’t want to eschew the bra and want nice fabrics?
Just a perfect look on you. The looseness of the jacket above the hips, thanks to the width of your shoulders, is exactly right.
Did you check out Hilary Clinton’s new look? Looks like she’s ready to take on a new uniform.
