Aside from being really fucked off (after spending about £500 so far this year on clothes for work) I have been told today that we will be required to wear a 'uniform'. I work in a school. Teaching staff wear their own clothes. All other staff wear a royal blue polo shirt with the school logo.
I work part time as music support (which basically means I play the piano, and teach music on a part time basis and from a clothing point of view classed as a teacher) as of September I will be working in the office as well (admin).
Now here comes the shitty bit. The governers have decided that a polo shirt will not be smart enough for 'front of house' so have decided we should wear a royal blue shirt and trousers. I AM NOT WEARING POLYESTER WORK WEAR!!!! I never wear trousers so will need to buy some (probably black) or black skirts. I have been told I can source my own blouses within reason (this will not happen as I suspect that the price limit from the school is about £12) so I will buy my own
I am tempted to either a) buy a couple of really nice blouses so that I still feel nice or b) buy something really stupidly disgusting, but no so disgusting that they don't just think I'm taking the piss.
I am ranting a bit so excuse the lack of coherance (sp?)
Can you clever people help me? I have had a quick look but royal blue blouses are not really 'in' at the moment (unless you want to spend about £300). I guess my price range would be about £40 - 50 as I will need a minimum of 3 I guess (this is so out of my comfort zone, I wear dresses all the time). I will need to buy 5 pairs of trousers. I couldn't wear trousers more than one day. Thanks in advance (and in hope)
