What do you recommend for summer (non air con) office wear, got to be smart enough for Court - I'm soooo hot in my effing lined suit, even with jacket off!

[MamaG]

Thats it really.

I'm 5' 3" and have big norks and nice legs and ok arms

i see, madam.
mamag not keen to confess is she. clearly defendant

lol

or a cleaner?

runs
or maybe an usher ( god... lives in fear)

wot, really?
i have ushers thoroughly tamed by years of alternate shameless schmoozing / quelling with steely gaze...in random sequence keeps them guessing
(oh and i buy my favourites krispy kreme doughnuts at end of long awful cases...

mamag could be a.... security guard

I teach ina non air conditioned school and have been trying to do samrt but cool. ONe of my successes has been a white pair of linen pants with a black longer linen top with a mandarin colour that has a belt at the waste. Very smart and comfortable and unbelievably from Asda, my mum saw it and bought it for me as she thought it was very me. Everytime I wear it people ask me where it was from and can't believe it.

I am also 5'3 with big norks!

I'm actually a High Court Judge.

Will be going to next at lunchtime for the skirt

sorry, my lady . do i know you?? best not answer that.... mn should develop masonic stylee secret sign for id purposes of fellow mners.... what d'you reckon...?

its a dog's life anniemac....

I lied. I'm a para-legal really

Didn't have the flippin skirt in my next, so i'll have to order online.

mamag how COULD you tell such a whopper
not sure you deserve that skirt.
ps. i really am what i said!

As a fellow court go-er I wouldn't recommend linen (creases). I just wear my normal skirt suit/tights with a smart t-shirt underneath and get changed into something cooler in the loos before I leave.

like superman
ok in court today the clerk was in a vest top (w ith very toned arms) and a linene skirt

we lal had our shoes OFF under the desk
i had my trews rolles upt o short lenght ( !)

oy! mrs fish have you anything to say to mamag (aka big fat fibber)??

can i also say as lawyer in court i HATE it when judge says "oh, its really hot in here i think anyone who wishes should remove their jackets.." as men all immediately do and sport their shirtsleeves and i keep mine on as i simply CANT stand there and do the job in short sleeved t shirt....

they said in court today and yesterday we could take our jackets off. this was a good thing as I had actually forgotten mine and left it at home. thank god I had gone for the monsoon sensible top instead of the ruffled sleeveless see through number I was contemplating this morning.

back to the original question what to wear in court. I have bought 2 hobbs linen suits. one in navy and one in brown. they are really nice with wide legs and the jackets are short and fitted. they are very cool and much better than black wool which accounts for 99 % of the rest of my court wardrobe.

2 people passed out in court today. twas very exciting and livened up an otherwise tedious day.

conttorl freaky so get over the jackets thing i love itt when they say that!

well we had indecent esposure which was a thrill a adn a cps man who coulnt sotp sweating fomr the tip of his nose
very annoying

bossy are you a lawyer
you see THEY needto look nice as we mags all discuss their clothing

we had a SUPER army officer young mayn in today too

fishy you know I am we have had a big chat about it when I went back to work earlier this year. I asked you about all the changes and you scared the life out of me

its all going really well actually, am loving being back. only things that throw me are the breach court. all the new community orders and suspended sentences. but its all going well. glad to know all the magistrates discuss our clothes!

do you know i remember i had discussed it with someone but couldnt remember who!!!!

how is it going.....custody plus!!!!!

sorry

love from big fat fibber

oh wanted to ask - should I be extra formal on Monday, going to an Inquest?
