Please help me sort a new work wardrobe for a TA job

[EastCoastExile]

I have worked in freelance roles from home for 15 years but am starting a TA job in a secondary school in September. I need a whole new wardrobe of smart clothes, ideally that I can cycle to work in. Please help! I am on a budget and my recent Vinted search of M&S work dress size 12 didn’t come up with much.

How smart? I’d be surprised if you couldn’t get absolutely everything you need from Uniqlo.

Black trousers. Tops that aren’t “booby”. Cardigans so you can adjust layers easily. Blazer for meetings.

Sorted.

Thanks for the tip. Lots of staff at the school dress very smartly so need to up my current sartorial game!

What do the LSAs wear there? Double check, even if you've seen smartly dressed people...

My school has many staff who are quite or very smart in dress. I wear leggings, jeans and baggy T shirts, because I tend to be rolling about the floor with someone or climbing things. I second Uniqlo for fairly smart.
