Couple of random thoughts. I used to thrift a lot but last few years I struggle to find good stuff. Blazers are usually one thing that I have been lucky with and a good linen blazer makes things look better. You could look into capsule wardrobes for some ideas to build up basics that match. Get some stuff that you can afford in a few basic colours and buy a more expensive version as things wear out. I naturally wear a lot of black but have a bunch of bright scarves and fun necklaces for colour.
For good work stuff I tend to now do that - buy a few good things and a bunch of basics. Sportsgirl I like for linen and cotton. Vine apparel is an online store in Sydney that has good but cheaper stuff.
