Law and Order

* Ring - Forever 21 *


I know you guys are wondering why this post is called Law and Order...well I had a court hearing today and I wanted to be a little dressy.  However, upon my arrival I noticed that no one really dresses up for court anymore...even the judge was casual under her robe (I saw her outfit before she put her robe on).  Well I have never been one to to do what others do soooooo I was over dressed, lol.  Plus the hearing was with my ex-husband and of course I needed to show him that I am still fine and fancy without him. 

As soon as I saw this top on NY&Co. I knew it would be mines!  However, I am barginista and I was not feeling the price at all so I decided to wait until it went on sale, or wait until I had a coupon.  To my surprise I was able to pick it up at the NY&Co. outlet for 50% off this weekend, score! Good deals make me happy, lol.  I can wait to wear this top again maybe with some cropped pants next time. 

Oh and the judgement went in my favor, such a blessing and weight lifted off of me.

oh yeah! never pay full price at NY&Co.  they have too many clearance-like sales on in-season items even in the regular stores!

You look great!

I have had my share of court hearing this year and you're right - no one dresses up for court. I love your outfit. It's so work chic. This reminds me, I need to work on my arms before spring, so I can sport sleeveless with confidence. I'm happy that everything went in your favor.

I am a family law paralegal and an ex-wife, so I am at the Court frequently and I am shocked at how people dress for Court these days.  Some people really have no shame in what they wear to Court.  I actually did a post about it several months ago.  It is a shame.  I think your outfit is perfect for Court and I bet you had your ex kicking himself.  You look great!

Very cute! I love NY&Co by the way. I would say about 75% of my wardrobe comes from them. This was a perfect outfit for court. And who cares if no one else dressed up....do you!

You did a good job with the eyes.  I am just starting to get into the eye shadow application as well.  I like the blazer that you wore to the brunch!

They always have great stuff, sometimes a lil pricey but they do have the best sales.  And your right that's why I am always over dressed, lol.

I felt the same way about that white peplum ponte top. I HAD to have it. Matter of fact, I had to have the red one AND the white one. Such a classic silhouette. You look haute!
