    Hi

    I start a new job at the end of the month and they dress a lot smarter than my current place (my jeans will be weekend wear only now). I've found some jersey wrap dresses in Warehouse that are really nice. 3/4 length sleeves and come down to about knee length, they're really flattering and not too expensive for a whole outfit (I think they're about 35 pounds, but they have discount codes reasonably frequently). With black tights and black boots/heels or flats I think they'll make quite a smart looking outfit.

    Good luck

    Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending
  • I've worked in an office for 20 years & it's hard work sometimes thinking what to wear! I think dresses are a good option too, easy as it's the one item to think about & I also like trouser suites! They're quite comfortable & always look smart even with just a T-Shirt underneath! Do you have to wear a shirt? Lots of the High St shops & Matalan etc are doing some nice colourful little jumpers at the mo! I got a red one & a teal one in Matalan last week for £7 each. they look great with trousers etc & it's good to add abit of colour to your winter wardrobe! Good luck with the job!
    i wish my bank account could keep up with my Rockstar Lifestle! :cool:

    ebay is very good for work clothes - i got a nice layered monsoon skirt for £6, a couple of m&s ones for about a fiver with postage too - i tend to buy things for work off there and if I dont like them/dont fit then I havent thrown a lot of money away and it evens out. littlewoods are quite good too as its free returns so you just order what you like the look of and if it doesnt fit or you dont like it when it actually arrives you can just send it back no hassle.
