What do I wear?

I finally scored a job!! I go in Monday for paperwork, drug testing, and my work photo. What should I wear? I want to look nice, but do I need to dress as professionally as I did for my interview? What would you wear? Sorry if this is in the wrong thread, but I didn't really know where to post it. Thank you in advance!

I would wear "business casual." That's nicer than regular casual, but not as formal as a suit. For example, a nice pair of dress slacks and a coordinated top that look "pulled together well," but still comfortable.

Yes.. Treat this like an extension to your interview. Present yourself professionally.

Congrats on the job !!!!

My facility says business casual as well, but would it be too over the top if I wore more formal clothes? I absolutely love the business look and want to have an excuse to whip out my blazer, shell, and pencil skirt!
