| My new job does not provide a work uniform yet they require us to wear black & white colours. I had to buy one white blouse new because it was an emergency and I didn't own one! I did own one pair of black trousers though.
Then I trawled the charity stores and picked up a 2nd pair of black trousers and one black sleeveless round neck top. I bought 2 'almost new' white blouses and one black v-neck jumper from ebay. I reckon I paid less than half the price of what I would have spent new, if I'd had more time I'd probably have gotten better bargains but 'needs must' as they say...so I did the best as quickly as I could and ...hey...I still saved

| I think you did well with the time that you had. At least you didn't just go out and pay full price for everything.
