Suggestions for work clothes - help required!

I have recently lost 4 stone and gone from an 18 to a 14. I still have another 2ish stone to lose. When I was heavy I wore whatever fitted frankly and was honestly the least stylish person ever.

I start a new job in a couple of months and need some new clothes that will take me through to winter, which hopefully won't be too expensive (as I hope to continue to lose weight) but are a bit stylish but not trying too hard (if you see what I mean).

I am 5' 11" and an hour glass (34F and then a bit hippy - hourglass makes my figure sound much better than it actually is!) I like Me + Em but for what I hope is transition they are quite expensive. I am looking for maybe 5/6 outfits (trousers, skirts, shirts, jumpers) that I can rotate/mix and match. In my current job I mostly wear jeans, trainers and the same 2-3 shirts (all of which are now too big) on rotation. I do have some smarter clothes that don't look terrible (black wide leg trousers for example) and have the casual side sewn up but am just rubbish at looking vaguely smart!

Does anyone have any suggestions of where I should be looking?

Should add, that is a 14 in Next sizes which I suspect is a 14/16 in many other shop sizes - suspect I started off as a 20 but had just stretched my clothes so much they still just about fitted ......
