Wear whatever you want, but keep these rules in mind when it comes to what to wear for work:
Dress for the job you want, not the one you have. So when you start working, don't look to what your peers wear. Look at what the boss - or the boss's boss - wears and dress at that level.
No matter what you wear, make sure it's always clean, neat, and pressed. I've got a good-paying professional job, yet most of my wardrobe comes from Wal-Mart, Value City, and Target. (Mixed in with a few things from Saks, N-M, and Mark Shale.) But it's always clean and pressed. When I'm complimented on a shirt or belt, people are amazed to find out it comes from a discounter. And usually on sale, to boot!
It's all about the shoes. (Not just 'cause that's where you are going to work.) Uncomfortable shoes mean poor job performance. Plus - believe it or not - many people judge you by the shoes. (I don't do this, but have been told so many times that others do.) Don't skimp in the shoes. (I put $300 Donald Pliners with my Wal-Mart pants all the time!)
Wear clothes in which you are comfortable, both in style and fit. Comfort will mean confidence and happiness. Confidence allows you to do a job well. Happiness will make work easier for you and others to want to be around you. Those that people want to be around will naturally do better in a job.
Finally, wear what you are selling. It sends the message you believe in the product. So as soon as possible, purchase some shoes at your new shop and wear those at work.
Good luck.

Trousers are a great idea as you might be up on down stairs and sitting on the floor etc. How low is your v neck jumper? Don't forget you might be bending down in front of people - do you want to flash? If it's a trendy place try to keep trendy - black and white combination is always a winner. Go for something simple on your first day then see what everyone else is wearing and tune your outfit for your next day at work. Good luck - I hope you have a great day!

The outfit you described sounds just alright, you cannot go wrong. Don't forget to wear a pair of comfy shoes! And good luck with your new job.

Put a white shirt or blouse on under the v neck and yes,,I'de be happy for you to serve me. Just make sure your shoes are polished, after all that is what your meant to be selling.

I think you are right. You can't go wrong with black anyway. But wear the ballet style flat shoes on your first day for comfort! Good luck!

I only shop online for Cd's and movies. For everything else I shop at the stores.

Sounds good
You need to look professional and approachable
You will be bending down - so should be able to easily without displaying bits of your body.
And - good clean shoes!

as long you wear black trousers and a white skirt you cant go wrong. Thats always the basics for most places.

I think that's safe. Then, after a while you will get to know what everyone else wears and what you can get away with wearing.
