ATTITUDES : MARSHA WYLIE

Resident of: Ventura

Occupation: Director of family relations mediation for the Ventura County Superior Court.

Spotted: Walking on Main Street in Ventura on a lunch break.

Fashion attitude: “I generally look for clothes that are professional but flattering. I work with judges and attorneys, and I have to be dressed appropriately to appear in court if necessary. The people who come into the office are under stress, and it’s also important to be in a position of authority so you can teach parents about children. I’ll wear pants or short skirts on occasion, but you don’t want to look so casual that the parents think you don’t know anything.”
