My Days in Court – Why I love Suits

Suits.  I have an unconditional love for them.  And I always want to collect more.

My Trail and Court Case My Survivor Story

I’m really a suit gal.  My love for suits and women in suits started when I was about 16 years old.  The district attorney, investigator, and victim witness advocate assigned to my case all wore suits.  I was very lucky to have a team of women.  Incredibly strong and mighty women.  On every visit leading up to my days in court and especially during the trail, they wore sharp beautiful dark suits (I shared part of my trail and court case here).

These women hold a very special place in my heart.  When I was with them, the whole world disappeared.  They treated me like a human being, and not a case they’re working on.  They were interested in my studies, school activities, goals, and were so positive.  And they kept on pushing me to believe in myself and they pushed dangerous people away.  My investigator was relentless.  I saw her the most out of the three.  She’d obtain restraining orders whenever she felt my safety was jeopardized, she physically pushed my relatives away when they rushed at me in court, and she took me on car rides to comfort me.  All while wearing badass suits.

This is why I love suits so much.  Every time I wear one, I always think about them and how they changed my life.  They gave me strong female role models to look up to.  Even though I was with them for only about 2 years, they left a long lasting impression on me.  One that will last a lifetime.

After my court case and right before I left for college, that was the last time I saw them.  That was about 20 years ago.  Maybe they’re reading this, but I highly doubt it.  I never got a chance to properly thank them.  To all those incredible Special Victims Unit DA’s, investigators, and victim witness advocates out there… you might never hear from us, but know that your work leaves a long lasting effect.  You might never hear thank you, but please know that you changed our lives.  Please keep on fighting the good fight.  And wear those badass suits.

Thank you for being on this journey with me.  As always, thank you so much for reading.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
