Help! - what could a 14-year-old wear to the office?

DD is going to have a day's work experience at the headquarters of a large multinational company soon. I think I need to buy her something suitable to wear - her wardrobe is mainly jeans, cut offs and sundresses, none of which will look right in a big company in central London - she will be attending meetings with senior execs etc. Has anyone got any idea of how she can look smart in an age-appropriate way without being frumpy? We have been through the Next catalogue but it is uber-hideous stuff.
She is 5'4", size 10, dark-haired and brown eyes if that helps. She is a shy girl and is quite nervous about this, so needs to feel comfortable and confident.

Just to update you, we went to what passes for a town centre where we live yesterday and got her a black linen knee-length skirt, plain white top and coral cardigan. It looks lovely. Smile Thanks everyone.
God, I wish we lived somewhere with shops.
