But, also because my mom, aunt and cousins all made a point to where very flashy shoes. &nbsp;My grandpa always had to comment on our crazy shoes, so we were always sure to wear our highest, blingiest heels when we knew he would be around! &nbsp;So, these shoes were a little more demure than they could have been!</p> <p>I did have extra comfy shoes in the car that I wore at my grandma's after, but wish I'd also taken some casual clothes to change into. </p> <p>In the end, the event went great. &nbsp;It was great to be with aunts, uncles, cousins and of course my immediate family, and grandma. &nbsp;We poured over lots of old family photos and remembered all the good times. &nbsp;Life is short; hug your loved ones and keep in touch with old friends.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-dress-for-for-grandpas-memorial#post-1678455 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 10:15:53 +0000 Inge 1678455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfit you picked looks beautiful, Jenava.

In many parts of the world, including most of Asia, white is the traditional funeral color, so it seems appropriate to me. In any case, I agree that the overall mood is more important than the color. </p> <p>I'm sorry to hear about your grandpa. I hope the memorial brings you peace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-dress-for-for-grandpas-memorial#post-1677911 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 23:03:37 +0000 Brooklyn 1677911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sorry for your loss.

In my world, however, the navy would be much better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-dress-for-for-grandpas-memorial#post-1677790 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 18:32:13 +0000 Jenava 1677790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, after some thought I feel strongly that I'd be more respectful in a dress than trousers due to the religious aspect, no matter it's color...but thus outfit will be likely the dressier one there. My sister is wearing Birkenstocks and a knit black and blue striped skirt. So....you know, it's all relative! Thanks, everyone, for letting me hash this out with you all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-dress-for-for-grandpas-memorial#post-1677777 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 17:50:27 +0000 Angie 1677777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry for your loss.

Wrap up.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-dress-for-for-grandpas-memorial#post-1677771 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 17:43:31 +0000 rachylou 1677771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the white dress. White dress, black blazer - one looks like a nun. I like the white because it's neat and tidy. In my world the two things you can't wear are short and red. Because it's like 'I'll dance on your grave in a short red dress.' It's cursing someone out. Really all depends on one's world. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-dress-for-for-grandpas-memorial#post-1677769 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 17:34:14 +0000 Janet 1677769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I think I'd go for the navy Teddies, blouse and rust booties ensemble. I'm not comfortable with all white for a memorial, but as others have said, you know the environment better than I do! I've worn trousers to the last few funerals/memorials I've attended and I've still been more dressed up than the majority of people there.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-dress-for-for-grandpas-memorial#post-1677762 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 17:10:11 +0000 Jenava 1677762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or, I could wear seperates. Navy Teddies and a white blouse with rust sandal booties. My famiky belongs to a church were the ladies all where skirts, so wearing pants might be more scandalous than wearing white! Lol... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-dress-for-for-grandpas-memorial#post-1677761 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 17:06:06 +0000 Jenava 1677761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a memorial, in a school gymnasium, so all of these will be very dressy relative to the occasion. I'm okay with wearing white - my aunt is wearing red, my mom is wearing navy with red patent shoes. My grandpa hated funerals! So I feel like wearing a non funeral color would be appropriate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-dress-for-for-grandpas-memorial#post-1677759 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 17:02:08 +0000 Anonymous 1677759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it depends on the family. The navy would suit better for mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-dress-for-for-grandpas-memorial#post-1677757 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 17:00:07 +0000 skylurker 1677757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 doesn't look formal enough to me.<br /> #2 looks formal, but I know I could not get away with white in my family, so I'd opt for #3 with demure shoes, accessories.</p> <p>I'm sorry for your loss.</p> <p>ETA : just realized you said memorial, not funeral. We don't have memorials here, so I don't know what I'm talking about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-dress-for-for-grandpas-memorial#post-1677751 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 16:52:22 +0000 annagybe 1677751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taupe jacket is more of a going out outfit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-dress-for-for-grandpas-memorial#post-1677748 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 16:49:28 +0000 annagybe 1677748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like the white dress with the vest. Just the vest needs a steam.<br /> But as far as color, urk, you know your family better. The navy dress is a bit va-va-voom.<br /> Tough choice.<br /> Wishing you peace &amp; fortitude, if that makes sense. </p>
