I'm due to start a new job in a few weeks time and want to smarten myself up abit and splash out on some new work clothes. Our dress code isn't suits or anything, just smart office wear. Currently I wear black trousers and a jumper of some sort usually from Primark. But I really want to look a bit nicer. So a few recommendations if you can please:
1) Where can I buy decent work trousers from? Don't necessarily have to be black but I'd prefer it. I'm tall so need at least a 34inch inside leg. I normally buy from Next but the last couple of pairs I've had from there have been awful so hoping for some different inspiration. I have seen some in Topshop that look good (and cheap £22!) but haven't bought anything from there for years so have no idea about sizing and none of our local shops sell them apparently, so anyone any got any experience?
2) I'm thinking for tops I could get some nice blouses and then wear cardigans over the top at the moment, so where is good for cardis and blouses? I did see some nice tops in New Look this week.
Budget is probably up to £50 for a pair of trousers and tops upto £20. I'm also a size 12 if it helps.
Just to add, I can't really wear dresses or skirts to work as I may be called out to site at a moments notice so skirts aren't really practical!
Thanks!
