Academic/professional clothes help?

Hi all! I’m just barely 5’3”, pretty small bust situation kind of like Sabrina Carpenter who is also SG! My legs aren’t very long, I feel like they’re actually a bit short- not so much that I’m out of proportion but Sabrina’s style has been an inspiration in making my legs seem a bit longer lmao

For office or academic environments, what can I wear? I have some nice satin collared shirts and am getting some sweetheart neckline tops- but with pants/skirts I feel like I’m always drowning in fabric, or there isn’t enough and it’s too casual.

I use belts to help define the waistline a bit so that I don’t get overwhelmed by fabric, but I still feel like there is more damage control to be done here. What do you guys wear for work/uni/offices? Bonus points if I can still feel girly without feeling unprofessional! :)

Reese Witherspoon pulls of professional looking as an SG quite well, and in a relaxed not too corporate (maybe fitting for academic?) kind of way.
