What do you wear to work?

I've applied for a job and am getting merrily ahead of myself by planning some shopping 😂 I currently wear jeans and hoodies to work but that may not fly if I get this job!

I work in a secondary school office and it's professional attire.

In the colder weather, I wear cotton stretchy dresses, cardigan, opaque tights and black ankle boots. In the summer I've been wearing either knee or maxi length dresses with smart sandals (not fully open toe) and a cardigan. No bare shoulders, not low cut.

For my interview, I wore a knee length dress with a high neck line (which I'd previously worn to a wedding), opaque tights and court shoes.

When I helped out at primary school, I wore thicker tights or leggings with dresses (in case of bending over helping children or standing on a chair doing a display), or comfy trousers and a smart jumper. Flat shoes for comfort and I'd consider wearing layers in case it gets hot or cold in the classroom (so be mindful what you're wearing underneath!)

It's support staff in a primary school. I have an interview next week. If anyone knows of sites that have practice intray / MS Office exercises I'd be grateful!! I know I can do the job, I'm just worried my nerves will get the better of me and I'll blow it over something silly.
