Kind of Off Topic

[beaming90]

I have this outfit - I am short so they are not short pants on me.  I bought it for my upcoming cruise in just under two weeks but...  I have the honor of singing at a friends funeral this Saturday and I am just wondering - I definitely need another opinion other than my own - would this be appropriate to wear?  It is really more of a grey rather than purple.  What do you all think?  Thank you!!

I think that is appropriate for the funeral. It is lovely.

My experience is that funerals are celebrations of a life, these days, and less about wearing black. I like it!

Thanks Ladies, that is kind of what I thought too.

I think it is gorgeous and you will look beautiful.

 

I'm sorry for your loss and may God bless you and the family at this difficult time. I hope Saturday won't be too hard for you.

Me too, I tend to get emotional when I sing, and it is my mom's favorite song so that will make it harder since now she has dementia.  It will be a hard morning!  Thanks guys!

Celebrate the life, pour your heart into the music, wear the outfit. Hugs to you

I agree with the other posters, it is a tasteful and lovely outfit. It used to be that lavender was the first color that women in mourning could wear after black, in the second part called half-mourning. So, history is also on your side.

 

I've lost both my parents to dementia in the last 18 months, so my heart is with you. Bless you for singing at a funeral, I know that's hard.

Perfectly appropriate.  I am sorry for your loss.

 

Here in the Midwest black is not as customary for funerals as apparently (according to movies and tv, if they can be believed) it is in some areas of the country.  Black is worn but so are many other, brighter colors.

Beautiful outfit and I agree with the other gals, wearing it is definitely appropriate.  So sorry for your loss.
