Could I Wear This To Court Or No.

Do you have a sweater or jacket? A blazer maybe? I can't tell for sure but it looks like that top is sleeveless, which isn't appropriate for court. With a nice jacket or cardigan to dress it up I think you'll be okay.

I think don't animal print really is appropriate for court. I think it kinda gives off the wrong idea.

What idea are you implying? Haha. Sure it's appropriate but I agree cover up the shoulders!

I agree with Jenna! Animal print for a civil matter is very inappropriate in my opinion.

I think if the animal print is mostly covered it would be okay. I wouldn't wear it to a job interview, but court is a little different. As long as you are dressed more formally around it (cardigan, simple accessories, nice slacks) and are respectful and well-behaved, the animal print will be fine. Especially compared to the people who show up in sweats and slippers.

I agree, in regards to court, how you present yourself (as in behavior), is most important.

What are you going to court for? If you're going to like fight a traffic ticket than dress like how a lawyer would dress. If the matter is not too important to you then I guess you could wear whatever.

Oh and also if you're going to wear that top you should DEFINITELY tone down your makeup. Less is more

It has like sleeves but they only cover my shoulders not my arms and I agree with everyone as In I will be covering it with a jacket or cardigan this is just an old picture that I was using to show the outfit and I am going to court to get my settlement approved because I sold it. and thank you everyone for answering

I agree with Jenna. It looks like you're going to a nightclub. I think a solid color blouse would be better

I know this wouldn't be my first choice but I want you guys to understand I don't have any clothes with me all I have is yoga pants jeans and t shirts along with this shirt if I had a better outfit I would wear it but this is all I can work with and what I have in storage are clothes that don't fit me. so this is my last resort outfit to look somewhat decent at court I don't want to go in jeans and a t shirt so I figured this would look somewhat OK as I tried to dress up I don't have any money at all to buy a new blouse or anything even if I went to goodwill I don't even have a dollar on me hence to why I am selling my settlement because I fell into a hard time in my life I lost my apartment so I am staying in a tiny efficiency room the reason I am selling it is to get enough money for a deposit for a new apartment since I lost the one I was living in and I was hoping for positive feed back because I am under so much stress with fianances and life I'm sorry for getting personal I just don't have anything else to work with I don't even know how I am going to cover my shoulders with a cardigan or sweater I have a gray one but I don't know if it will match I'm sorry if I'm coming off a certain way I'm not trying too its just so stressful I just don't know what to do with my life right now I've been so depressed and just horrible right now

I understand what you're saying, but look at the question you asked us, all we did was answer it from our perspective honey.

Brianna M.

I know and I'm sorry I wasn't trying to get all personal I was trying to explain first time that that is basically all I had to work with.

Nov 16, 2014

Brianna M.

And I'm not angry I am just upset, sad, and depressed its hard to explain tone in typing I am not angry at anyone I am not telling anyone off I was just giving more info and I agree with everyone

Thank you jacqlyn I am positive I will get through this because of God but I hate myself for putting my son through this and I have family that get on me and think it wasn't a good choice selling my settlement but if I didn't where would my son love we would be homeless and its just so stressful because I can't make ends meet right now and because all of this stress me and my husband have been more distant he's been doing some things that hurt me because he can't deal with the stress and I don't know I haven't had one good day since I lost my apartment I miss it so bad I cry myself to sleep every night my sons 2nd birthday us on Dec 9th I cry just thinking we are going to be in this place for his birthday and maybe Christmas I'm getting my money on the 12 but I still need to make sure my husband can find work before that so we can afford the apartment life is just not going good at all but I do try to stay hopeful saying God puts us in these situations to trust him that he will work everything out in his perfect timing if I didn't believe in God I'm afraid I would have already left earth.

I'm sorry you feel so stressed, financial things can really take over the mind at times! Don't worry too much about your outfit I'd say. You put care in it. And I think attitude is more important. Stay strong! x

Brianna M.

Thank you and again I am so sorry for getting so personal and emotional I come on here because everyone feels like family to me and are so nice and it relaxes me in a way its like I can focus on here and kind of get out of reality for a minute if that makes sense.

Yes I say I am going to be a kick ass old granny one day because I've been through swat raids and just horrible things throughout my life that some people only see in movies and yes I said swat raid. my apartment complex accused us of selling drugs and swat came and zip tied us in front of my son and even though they found nothing (we were set up by very cruel neighbors) we were still kicked out

Nov 16, 2014

Brianna M.

Yeah I know our neighbor kept stealing things off our door and they were the ones who where doing the illegal things but to save their self they went to the leading office and said it was us because word got around they were bringing dogs I. our building and I think they set us up because we never had any drugs in our house and the hallways always freaked and because they were stinking the halls they went and told it was us and so that's when they got the swat to come and the detective told us they wasted thousands if dollars on the raid because there was nothing to be found but because technically that is a violation if the lease they still kicked us out it is very very devastating and I'm open to talking about it because we were innocent and set up its a very cruel world

I was even looking into sueing my complex but it is a very expensive and long process and because they cab say the hallway smelled they could possibly win but the smell wasn't even from us it was just so potent they couldn't figure out what door it was so when the people said it was us they took it and ran with it I guess.

I just want to say, I admire that you keep your head up like that and look ahead of you despite of cruel things people caused.

Nov 16, 2014

Brianna M.

I try to especially for my son because even though he is only about to be two he understands so much and he knows when I'm upset or sad or scared so I try to stay strong for him I have a very hard head and I stay up for hours thinking how am I going to get him somewhere he can call home and I only do it for him he's the reason I didn't give up I try so hard for him.

Nov 16, 2014

Saskia C.

I see. It's beautiful to see how much you care for your son and how you want the best for him as a mother. For that very reason I honestly believe things will become better for you and your family. I hope things work out soon! ❤
