Tuesday Takeover: Danne Johnson
My first year of law school I was lucky enough to take Professor Johnson’s Civil Procedure class where her training as a former litigator for the SEC served her well in training young lawyers to be sharp and ready. Along with managing her classroom and her household as a mama of two, she’s become a mentor to many female students in the OCU Law community, including myself. She’s earned a reputation for leading with authenticity and giving back to her community through her philanthropy, leadership, and commitment to changing the cultural climate to create a more humane future. Most recently, she’s leveled up her lead with her new organization Our Work, LLC focused on diversity and inclusion training in the workplace. Allow me to introduce the stylish, confident, and fierce trailblazer Danne Johnson to takeover this Tuesday.
Courthouse Lewks for Women with Curves
How many of us have some extra Covid lbs to hide? 🙋🏽♀️ When I have a full day downtown I want to look my best for my client, but also want the ease of wearing something I am not going to have to readjust or look like I’ve been in quarantine since 2020. When I’m making my case, the last thing I want on my mind is my clothing—enter solution: a dress that looks like suiting, is fitted to your curvy body, but hiding those extra lbs. This dress is conservative enough for court, but not passing on lewks in typical Chiara Boni La Petit Robe style.
Lunch after Litigation
In a single tone, this suit speaks for you while you are not saying a word. The cut and quality of Lafayette NY 148 is among my favorites when it comes to style and quality in suiting. Navy suits are a courtroom to boardroom staple, but they don’t have to be boring. Find a shade of blue you love, like this Mountain Blue, a style of suit that works for your body type, and style it in a monochromatic way for an elegant courtroom professional look. Show up fashionably late to your next lunch date in this elegant and timeless suit.
Tuesday Takeover: Nikki Jones Edwards
For our first Tuesday Takeover, let me introduce Nikki Jones Edwards, a premier litigator with an active family law practice in Oklahoma City. Nikki vibes on the same energy level that I have, which is a rare find. She’s direct and intense but with a heart of gold. In true modern woman fashion, she balances her professional life, leadership, and philanthropy with being a Mother. After all that, she still manages to find time for meditation, bonding with family and friends, and mentoring young lawyers. She is a true boss, and I’m happy to pass the keyboard to feature her style.
How to Mix Patterns and Prints for a Fun Fashion Forward Look
I love a good mix up and power clashing that works is all about confidence. I’m not as brave as some with the mixed patterned look, but I like to match up similar colors and different patterns to have a look to be interesting, creative, and special.
Here’s a totally doable way to pull off mixing prints and patterns that will work seamlessly from the office to the courtroom.
