I am currently looking to get back into office work and I want to go and register at the local agencies. I want something that looks smart but is comfortable to wear all day, comfy shoes needed too.

I am a 12-14 and open to options although I'm sad to say the budget is a small £50. Could stretch a bit but not much. If this outfit could be suitable for interviews too that would be great but I'll probably buy a suit for that anyway.

Any takers?

Try ebay for pencil skirts, nice shoes, blazers etc for really cheap prices.

ASOS also sometimes has some nice blouses in the sale too.

Overall just try to be really friendly and polite. I did the agency rounds a couple of weeks ago. Good luck! Flowers
