    I had this problem too, not knowing what to wear..
    I didnt want to turn up wearing dead nice, new clothes cuz clearly Id look like I had money lol. But didnt want to look like a tramp either.. lol
    I eventually went in jeans, simple top and my black jacket. There was 3 of us all sat waiting there, and think I was prob the best dressed lol.

    Hmm... Just realised the last time I wore that particular combination (nb jacket, trousers as per Poppy's recommendation, not Max's signature outfit) was the day of the funeral and car-crash! Not normally superstitious but might have to rethink this one!

    Baybee, I know what you mean. Have been looking at my £18 faux-designer watch and worrying that someone might think it's real!

    Be clean and tidy - but you could look at the court thing as the death of the bad bit of your life, the death of your debt?

    I went in 'office dress' - what I would wear to work.

    I would def. leave the Radley handbags/Jimmy Choos at home ;)

    What did you expect, wearing those pearls? Pearl necklaces are for giving, not wearing yourself - and I'm not explaining the meaning of that line to anyone who doesn't already know the meaning of it. :D

    Oh you bad girl, WDIAG!!!!! MammaCas, I can only dream of Jimmy Choos. Touched a pair once - they were on the feet of my oldest friend, whhose wedding it was! Is last season's M+S placcy fake-patent shoulder bag modest enough? And nice point, Poppy. It is a kind of funeral, I suppose.

    I know I'm asking for this - can already imagine some of the suggestions Max and Dave will come up with - but what should I wear to court on Monday? A suit? Smart-casual? School-run jeans? Diamonds and furs? (As if.) A wink and a grin?

    Dont know what you are implying about Max And I!!...probably true though!

    But as already said..something smart but comfy. i wore my buisness suit but felt so over dressed as one guy was in tracky pants and vest top..If i was the judge i would have refused him BR just on his dress! :D

    Hope all goes well Lily and will be looking out for you replies and updates next week.

    I'm sure it will all go well too whatever you wear ;)
