Just looking for ideas. I’ve spent a long while working in a nursery, wearing a uniform that often gets covered in all sorts! In September, I start my new role, which is in an office in a primary school. Any ideas? I am looking forward to having a bit more freedom as there’s no uniform. But I don’t know what sort of things to buy/look for?

Long black skirt cotton, lined skirt is my staple. Teamed with sandals and a short sleeve/ sleeveless blouse in the summer. Worn with wool jumper / long-sleeve top when it's cooler along with ankle boots/ doc martens and tights if needed.
Always look smart but not too 'office-y', super comfortable and very easy to style

My office is quite relaxed nowadays about work wear. As it's summer I'm wearing maxi/midi dresses every day (nothing revealing) and when it's cooler I wear jeans, a nice top with boots.

Anything I want as long as it doesn’t contain offensive slogans!
usually in cooler weather I’ll be in wide legged trousers, a base layer with long sleeves and a jumper/sweatshirt. Or a long sleeved dress tights and trainers/boots. sometimes jeans but I wasn’t allowed to wear jeans when I worked in a school. Actually I think the stipulation was no blue denim.

Now it’s warmer either dresses, shorts, skirts, just basically whatever I’m comfortable in. Although there’s aircon in the office and it’s usually too cold for me so I’ve always got a sweatshirt in my desk drawer!

Jeans (winter) or floaty trousers (summer), a nice t-shirt and a jumper or cardigan.

Sometimes a Jersey dress and tights or leggings.

Its always freezing in my office.
