A woman before anything else

High heels in lawyer’s closet.
Pressed and starched weekday black and whites.
Three drawers of fine lingerie.

Thought provoking! Often they dress with the third drawer not delving into innocent or guilty just what will buy them a rich home or notoriety!

I'm a bit unclear about what you meant this to mean but the way its meaning did strike me is hysterical so let's leave it alone; absolutely creative from my perspective! All the best ... CayCay
