Feb 7 - Successful Lawyers in Beamsville

One of the sponsored ads on the Weather Channel is "The Most Successful Lawyers in Beamsville" and the picture is of a young woman with long hair and casual top.  This is a 'dating-style' picture, rather than the picture of what you'd expect a lawyer to look like.  And what makes them choose Beamsville rather than Grimsby?  It all gives rise to curiosity to find.  That's because we know what a 'stock lawyer' looks like. Photo stock pictures show us people dressed in dark suits and white shirts.  There is an exception -  pictures from the careerist.com in an article about successful Chinese Female lawyers.  Are the three women in the pictures are lawyers - they have no names, so I expect they are stock pictures of some sort. Their clothes are too colourful to "represent" lawyers in the workplace.  The article is about Chinese lawyers in top firms, but it is too liberal with personal opinions rather than facts. The fashion advice from lawandstyle.ca matches up with the images of lawyer on stock services: "Choose conservative pieces: sheath dresses with jackets, shoes in pristine condition, simple jewelry and accessories. For skirts, go with knee-length or slightly above the knee. Always wear a cardigan or jacket if you’re meeting with clients or if you’re wearing a sleeveless top. To make daring fashion choices when you’re just starting out takes the focus off your talent as a lawyer during that precarious time when you’re trying to stake out space and build your identity at the firm. Once you’ve proven yourself to be bright, capable and hard-working, then you can experiment with fashion within your comfort zone (and that of your workplace)." What is the advice for men?  Well-kept facial hair is fine. Just no soul patch. Ever When the collars or cuffs start to wear, toss the shirt Skip the bow tie So I completed my investigation by googling "best lawyer in beamsville" and took a look at the top three lines of images - all wearing dark suits, white/light shirts.  After that, the flaws of google retrieval come forth and anything can show up - purple bricks ads abound. Our Valentine today is the spring flower "Bleeding Heart".
