If you read our last post, you are ready for the next installment of What Not to Wear...to Court. Today's installment features a Dos and Don'ts List especially for the ladies. Without further adieu, let's get right down to it.
- A t-shirt that has a cute (or not so cute) saying on it.

- Mini skirts and shorts. Just not appropriate. Period.

- Ripped jeans. Just say no.

- Tank tops. Even if it's 100 degrees in the shade, do not wear a tank top to court.

- Any shirt that exposes your midriff. Yes, people really do it. And this picture reminds me - don't wear a hat, either.

- Jeans, even if they are not ripped. In my opinion, the look is too casual for court. Save your jeans for every other day of the year.

- Lace. Save it for evening. Or Halloween.

- Sandals. The people at the courthouse do not - I repeat, do not - want to see your feet.

- Stilettos. Too sexy for court, and besides, you don't want to risk falling down in front of the jury.
DO wear these things, and you'll be sufficiently dressed for your day in court:
- A suit. Or a coordinated top and bottom.

- Nice pants, a plain shirt and a neutral jacket. Note: A neutral jacket is always good to wear to court.

- A dress (that's not too tight) in a nice, neutral color. That comes down to your knees.

- A solid-colored skirt (that is not too tight) and a plain, long sleeved dress shirt.

- Closed-toe shoes in a neutral, solid color and with a low (or no) heel. Black or brown works best. Boring, but true.

- Panty hose if it's winter, of if it's summer and you have bruises on your legs.
