I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Now, now, brenda, the author is a lawyer. I'm sure she must know what she's talking about.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Or brother? Or uncle?
Sometimes it's hard to believe this author's first language is English.

I think the author is a "lawyer" -- based on nothing more than the description of the legal proceedings. I don't think that even a legal secretary would be so far off in describing the reading of a will and its provisions.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Nikita fidgeted and adjusted her black Armani two-piece Italian suit
1. Armani suits are all Italian. A dude name of Giorgio Armani does not come from Mongolia, you know.
Fashioned from a delicate crepe de chine, it brought forth the softness of the feminine form
2. Has this person ever seen the tidy, quasi-masculine shape of an Armani suit?
and the frilly peplum
3. Obviously not.
her almost invisible pearl studs sitting prettily In her earlobes
4. Not that close to invisible.
And that's just the clothes critique!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
the frilly peplum added the illusion of fun expected from a successful young woman.
Wearing a frilly peplum may indicate that a woman is a professional, but probably not in the sort of profession the author has in mind...

"The illusion of fun" -- so successful young women are expected to project an illusion of fun rather than fun itself. Interesting.

Always Anti-fascist!
I can sort of picture the look she's after, but if it's not an Armani picture(recent Las Vegas exposure tells me nsm) it's best not to be quite so specific...more of a Chandler thing, like "Casual as she looked, she even smelled like money."(Not like a Chandler Bing thing like "My God, could you *be* more ignorant?" although that crossed my mind, too, I must confess.)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
The peplum effect, the only thing it brings to mind for me is that Italian woman in Matrix #2, wearing a latex white dress that was translucent enough to show her landing strip. The jacket had a peplum in the back, but all it did was make her ass look like a cuttlefish.
Not exactly the "illusion of fun" one is going for.
