You know bypass the NY fashion scene and make your own styles both to save money and to appear classic and classy and mature. I mean when have the fashionable ever developed clothing made for mature women? As skinny and under fed as the fashion models are it is not even clear that the fashionable have ever designed clothes for healthy young women.

It seems the problem would be solved in a large part by having the majority of top women lawyers appear in the same costume which is what men have done for ages.

Although I'm sure the guys in her department would be happy to have her in plumbers-crack blue jeans or a micro-miniskirt, so they could get to ogle her AND completely brush her off. Having their cheesecake and eating it, too. They should just blindfold the men. That'd solve it. Putting the burqa where it belongs.
