So a few weeks ago I had to perform my civic duty and attend jury duty. I was really hoping I would not be selected but I had a sneaking suspicion that I would have to go since the last time I was summoned was in 2020. For obvious reasons jury duty was canceled at that time and I have to admit that I was relieved. Anyways…back to current day… I logged onto the portal after 5pm the day prior to my assigned date as instructed and discovered I had to report for jury duty. Fine. After the emotion wore off, the next thing I thought of was “WHAT SHALL I WEAR?”
One thing about me, I'm not going to pass up an opportunity to give em a look! Now I knew there was not a dress code per se but one could assume business casual. Definitely nothing too flashy. Whatever the case, I was going to look cute. That’s for sure.
Although I have embraced bold colors and prints in my wardrobe, black is and will always be my default. It is forever chic, classy and sexy. And I know how to style it so it’s far from boring. I did keep my makeup to a light “natural” beat but I still wore some of my jewelry because I NEVER go without it. So what if I set off alarms while going through security. And yes I'm in the bathroom flicking it up.
Look 1
I chose this knit dress and put a T-shirt over it because I didn’t want to show any skin. The blazer gave it a classic professional touch but these boots let you know I might get the party started later.
Purse - Badgley Mischka
Blazer - Kasper (thrifted)
T Shirt - H&M
Dress - Freshman 1996 (thrifted)

Look 2
I gave the casual look of this sweatshirt bodysuit and black denim/jeans a little razzle dazzle with these fringe ankle booties. And yes I click clacked through the courthouse halls in my shoes. What were they going to do? Arrest me? I think not.

Look 3
I have had this dress for months now and I have never worn it. It actually has cut outs on either side but I wanted to keep it “respectable” in the courthouse so I put a black tank top underneath. I knew I wanted to wear my combat boots but with the length of the dress we would see some skin so I added black lace hosiery to tone it down/cover my skin a bit.
