Hey, I'd recommend H&M, ASOS and Zara as the best places to look for affordable workwear. H&M has a workwear section which I'd say is far more 'work appropriate' for the legal world than many of the dresses/ blouses ASOS features in their section (do have a glance for lols). I've always found the quality of all three to be pretty good. My favourite 'work dress' was actually £15 from Primark and its always worth a browse of their workwear section, although their quality can be not so amazing so perhaps a place to be more selective - there are finds to be had though!

I used to only wear smart black trousers and a blazer, but honestly it really just isn't who I am and what I feel comfortable in, so I'll often wear colours I prefer (browns, neutrals, white/ cream) to work now - such as a roll neck and smart trousers or a smart maxi skirt, although the dress code for law firms can vary and where I work is perhaps at the somewhat more casual end. For interviews, I am often tempted to go back to this, but I wouldn't deem it necessary for every day of a vacation scheme.
