Chiffon Pleated Dress & Suede Shoes by ASOS; Belt by Primark; Coat by Quiz
Court wear is very androgynous. Blacks with whites, minimalistic, masculine and feminine.
In Bar school here in the UK, we’re not allowed to wear any other colours besides black and white. Shoes have to be black, and a blazer is an unspoken fashion rule. This goes the same when one goes to court. Black and white are the safest colours if you happen to be needed/wanted in court.
My 2nd term has started this week, and for Advocacy class we were doing practice sessions for ‘Examination-In-Chief’. It’s basically examining witnesses in the witness dock with questions to get their version of the story out.
Mind you, it’s tougher than it sounds.
Rambling witnesses, hostile witnesses, awkward witnesses…
Tough.

as tough as it is, isn’t it comforting to know that you’re looking good while doing it?
Hahaha! I’m usually quite terrified before I speak but maybe I should take the “looking good” into account and just wing it
Simple and elegant!
Thank you! I love your blog btw
Love all the black…very chic

Thanks Annie!
We should pass on this fashion rules to ms lindsay lohan hahah.. Sorry i read court and i instantanely think about her. You´re rocking the all black outfit!
Hahaha exactly what I was thinking Cecily! Some of her outfits were inappropriate to court – what one wears to court can hold a big effect on the judge and jury!
Check on diane lockheart from the show The good wife for inspiration!!!

Answer: I actually can, since today is the ~5th day with snow this season. We actually are having a blizzard right now – fun thing.

Ahh snow’s hit you rather late for the season! I guess snow is only fun for a while but after that it becomes a drag…!
It’s a good look! And you’d fit in perfectly in NYC!
Thanks Smita! Ahhh I’d love to visit NYC one day! Maybe I will get to when I head for my little brother’s graduation in Texas next year
Oh, I know how tough it is to dress law appropriate. I am so glad to learn you’re doing your Bar now… I have a long way to go still since I’ll be doing my Bar. Anyways, I wish you all the luck in studies, and keep it stylish dressing
Black is always classy and stylish, you look great!
Good luck!
