This outfit can be elevated to uniform status with an accessory change: periodically swap in medium-brown or light-olive accessories and shoes to add definition to the outfit without changing the fundamentals.
A word about the Topshop Emilie Paperbag Waist Tapered Trousers seen here: while the material–100% polyester–is unremarkable, it does drape well and has sufficient weight to avoid being wrinkle-prone or see-through. If you are curvy and/or have athletic legs, give these a try as the style is cut generously through the hip and thighs, but not overly so. For those new to Topshop, you can use the online size guide to decide which size to order.
