You'll probably want to buy some clothes, or at least make sure you have:
- 3-5 nice pairs of pants, striped or plain, in neutral colors (tweed, brown, gray, black, navy blue)
- Close-toed, comfy heels
- Flats
- Blouses- at least 2- some patterned, some plain
- High-cut camisoles
- Cropped sweaters
- Regular sweaters
- Nice, knee-length or longer, skirt
- Pantyhose (sounds weird, but most workplaces require them)
- Modest, nice dress
Outfit examples:
Grey pants, collared shirt, fitted sweater, heels
Dress, cropped sweater, flats
Blouse, skirt, heels

Depending on how much you'll be working, you might not need all of those, it's just a suggestion.

Remember that almost all workplaces place a LOT of emphasis on modesty. No open-toed shoes, make sure your blouses don't gap, shirts are high-cut, etc. (I learned that the hard way!)

Jewelry, if worn, should be small and simple: a small pair of stud earrings OR necklace, etc.

As for your hair, it depends how good you are at styling it. You could blowdry and straighten it and just wear it down, but a bun is the most professional opinion (buy lots of bobby pins). You could also straighten it and do half up half down.

For your hair: a ponytail, a bun, a braid, a solid colored headband, a French twist...you can probably get away with wearing your hair down as long as it's clean and brushed.

Just keep your outfits simple and understated and you'll be fine. I would suggest investing in a pair of pinstriped pants in black or brown, and maybe button-down shirts in a few colors. Pencil skirts are also good--they're cute and very flattering.

Good luck at your job, I hope I helped :)
