New rider here...I need advice.

You don't need special shoes.
You don't need a special shirt.
Not right now, anyway.
Mimi's road pump is a good idea and perhaps a small pack for under the saddle (or a handlebar bag) to carry tools, cell phone,camera, snacks, and lipstick

I agree.

I'd add sunglasses to the list.

Yes as well to eye protection and sunscreen!
Pebbles fly off of trucks right into your face sometimes, or bugs hit your eyes at a high speed too- use eye protection.
