"I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to wish for a perfect life. The
things that knock you down in life are tests, forcing you to make a
choice between giving in and remaining on the ground or wiping the dirt
off and standing up even taller than you did before you were
knocked down. I'm choosing to stand up taller. I'll probably get
knocked down a few more times before this life is through with me, but I
can guarantee you I'll never stay on the ground."

It
is a popular saying in fashion that every woman must dress like they
are going to meet their worst enemy. I never really made sense of that and I never found any reason to believe in that. Now that I go to court for hearings, it still quite doesn't make sense
to me. Probably because I never really dressed up for anyone other than
myself. Simply put, I dress up for me but with the consideration that I am appropriate enough to make an effort to show the people who I am meeting that I respect them enough to have come up with a well-thought of outfit and not be sloppy.
Don't get me wrong, I am always appropriately dressed for almost
anything as the occasion calls for but I don't really put into
consideration what other people will think when it comes to what I want
to wear. I am an advocate of "situational dressing." But that is about
as far as it goes for me. Personally, I dress up for a said
situation/occasion the way I want to and the day I wore this outfit was
dedicated to all-white and powder blue, which to me was inspired by a
very cool and calming color palette which was the complete opposite of
the events that were to transpire that day. You see, I had to take the stand.
