Funeral pictures....appropriate???
Comments (6)I can't think of any reason why photographs would be inappropriate. When my daughter Jill died, a friend who is a professional videographer offered to shoot a video of the memorial service, and another friend brought his video camera. So I have two videos. I've only watched them once, but I'm grateful to have a record of what was a very beautiful gathering at which many people spoke. You're probably aware that in the early days of photography a portrait was often taken of the deceased. Many times this was the only photograph the family had of that person. My sympathy on the loss of your brother. Susan...See MoreWould you wear this dress to a funeral?
Comments (51)1929Spanish-GW It's Boden. Here's a link - Dress. DH's mother was recently in the hospital with a serious illness. She's much better now but the incident made me think ahead to possible funeral preparations. I work from home and generally dress very casually. I have a few very dressy dresses which I know are not funeral appropriate. If I had to attend acquaintance's funeral I could probably get away with my usual black cropped pants and a blazer but for DH's family I know I will need a conservative dress. I'll keep looking but I'll probably order the dress because I think it is cute....See MoreDo you have a funeral outfit?
Comments (31)Thank you @maddielee, @morz8 - Washington Coast, @Feathers11, and @Annie Deighnaugh for your condolences. It means so much to have a kind virtual group of friends to help me at this time. The last two dresses fit really well, better than the first I think. The middle dress is a bit more formal and the latter is a little more casual. I'm leaning towards wearing the last dress since it is a little more casual and as recommended, works a little better with the booties It's a Norma Kamali dress. I may end up keeping the middle dress too since it fits really well and seems like a good staple since I'm clearly lacking non-sleeveless dresses. The first and middle are both Calvin Klein. Thank you everyone for your help in this time. I think I need to build out my closet with a few more staples so that in the future I won't feel so panicked trying to find something appropriate to wear. My professional life has become so casual (first working for a very casual company and now working from home for that company) that my closet has really fallen into very casual territory. Combine that with weight changes and maturing in age and I think I need to do a little investment in my closet again....See MoreOne Funeral, Three Dresses
Comments (63)Kswl, I too was remiss in not sending my condolences to your family. Also, I missed that you had been ill. Did you get sick after your trip? Sorry I missed that too, but hope it was short. Seems like that happens to a lot of our friends when they travel. Back to clothing…I just realized that I have been gravitating to dark olive lately, especially pants and one paler olive green skirt. So much so that I’m re-thinking some tops I’ve had in my cart from a couple of places. I really just needed to look thru my closet at what I have, which I did yesterday, and put together some coordinating jackets/sweaters from there. I did order a couple of cashmere crew neck sweaters and a cashmere hoodie from Quince. They were down to $50 from $69 for the sweaters, so I couldn’t let those pass by....See MoreYayagal
