Posted: 7/11/08 at 2:22pm
i swear i was going to post this even before i saw the funeral songs thread.
i'm going to a wake on sunday and a funeral on monday. a friend of mine from school passed away suddenly on wednesday night.
the request is that no one wear black to either service. her mom is asking people to wear bright pink and purple, davika's favorite colors.
i have a top for each service but i'm unsure of what to wear with them.
i'm wearing a pink shirt to the wake and a flowey more dressy top to the funeral.
i dont really feel jeans would be appropriate for either, but would a denim skirt?

Posted: 7/11/08 at 2:30pmAs long as the skirt is a dark wash, and not too faded (or too short), should be OK.

It sounds fine. No one is going to pay attention to what you are wearing, anyway.
I'm sorry about your friend.

If they're asking that you wear colour instead of black, they'll probably be equally okay with denim instead of the usual funereal smartness. You're going to remember your friend, not show how brilliant you are at dressing.

yeah you're right about the clothes thing. i think her mom wants everyone to be more "cheerful" and remember the happy times than to focus on her death.
i just didn't want to look inappropriate.

Posted: 7/11/08 at 2:54pmabba, i can say with certainty that going bottomless is an option. however, before you do, you should take a snapshot and send it to me to go over. i mean when pinks clash nobody wins.

This is why we keep you around, papa. We're not usually sure where the line is, but we just compare you with everyone else, and know that it is *just* this side of you.

I am sorry to hear about your friend Abba.
I'm sure a denim skirt would be fine. I might wear that to the wake, and maybe some dress pants with the floral top to the funeral.
But I agree that it doesn't matter really. What matters is that you are there to remember (and celebrate) the life of a dear friend.

I agree that a nice denim skirt and pretty top will be fine.
Plus, you can always "dress it up" with a nice hairstyle and some pretty earrings or some strappy shoes.
Funerals in color are a breath of fresh air. I remember my grandma's funeral from a few years ago - she died right before Christmas, and that was her absolute favorite time of year. We requested that everyone wear red and green, and we filled the funeral home with poinsettias. It was gorgeous, and the splashes of color helped make it a meaningful, uplifting ceremony.
