Suiting Up

So this post is really 2 month late. When I had to took my exam in June, a strong emphasis was put on attire. The Court is extremely conservative, and the expectation is that male/female you'll wear a black/navy suit. So I went out with my next to no money to buy a suit. Evidently easier said than done. I went to the closest Prime Outlets, struck out. Went to Macy's and it's ilk, strike two. At this point I had spent too much valuable study time on my outfit with no success. I was totally over it. I had been venting in class, and another women similarly shaped to myself suggested a brand they carry at Nordstrom. To which I heard $$$. She could see the shock on my face, and readily admitted that it was expensive but worth it. So I told my Mom and she encouraged me to at least give it a try. So I picked it out, went into the dressing room, and before I even looked in the mirror, I knew it fit. Finally. But it was expensive, so I paced around the store for about 45 minutes on the phone with my Mom hyperventilating about it until she convinced me it was a worthy investment. So now I have a suit, and a love/hate relationship with it. I know it's a versatile piece of clothing, but it's BORING. I would have rather bought a purse, or some cute shoes.

I look like I'm running for office, but you'd buy wine from me, right?


The things that make my suit, my cute top from Ann Taylor, and Nike Air flats.


Hear is the fruit of my labors, my pin!
