I really like that blouse.</p> <p>I'm so sorry for your loss. It's sad that as we get older, these losses seem to happen more frequently. Like gryffin, I was never much for saying "I love you" to those outside my immediate family, but my dearest friends and I have started telling each other this over the last year or so. I think we've had enough reminders of our mortality that we're not taking each other for granted so much. Best wishes to you and the family of your friend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-15-black-and-navy-for-a-sad-day#post-1419703 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 15:28:38 +0000 Beth Ann 1419703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so sorry about the death of your colleague.&nbsp; Those early work relationships can help form us both professionally and personally, and it is doubly hard to lose a peer so early.</p> <p>You look elegant and understated here.&nbsp; I checked my funeral mini-capsule last fall for fit and condition (not a time to discover a button is loose, or the fabric has faded).&nbsp; I expect to be singing funerals a lot more in the next few years -- many of the adults who invested in me when I was a child are passing on.&nbsp; I just visited a 97 year old who has already told me what he wants me to sing!&nbsp; It will be hard, but I am honored and so thankful to have something to give to honor him.&nbsp; </p> <p>Hope you have a bit of sunshine and good news to enjoy today!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-15-black-and-navy-for-a-sad-day#post-1419694 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 15:19:59 +0000 catgirl 1419694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very appropriate for a sad day...

There are frequent queries on YLF about funeral dressing; hopefully some of them see this.</p> <p>I'm very sorry about the loss of your friend and former colleague. Death of those we know really gives one pause, doesn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-15-black-and-navy-for-a-sad-day#post-1419602 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 11:29:24 +0000 gryffin 1419602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary - the outfit is a perfect tribute to your friend.&nbsp; I'm so very sorry for you loss.&nbsp; I lost my first very close friend just after&nbsp;she turned 40.&nbsp; It was the moment I really understood the word -&nbsp;irretrievial.&nbsp; As Deborah said, each day is a gift, even the bad ones - we need to always cherish the moment becasue we never know how many we will have.&nbsp; It also made me tell my friends, in words, how I felt about them.&nbsp; I don't know about you, but I'm big on saying "I love you" and physical affection with my family, but I didn't do that with even close friends.&nbsp; My friend's death was the catalyst for me to tell my other friends how much they meant to me.&nbsp; When I did that it was incredible how much deeper our relationships became.&nbsp; I try to give love as a gift without expectation.&nbsp; It's&nbsp;the way I've found to honor her memory and make sense of her loss.&nbsp; Hugs to you and prayers for your friend and his family!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-15-black-and-navy-for-a-sad-day#post-1419601 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 11:07:35 +0000 crutcher 1419601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit presents the proper note of respect and style...It is so hard to loose a good friend...I am sorry for your pain... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-15-black-and-navy-for-a-sad-day#post-1419593 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 09:57:21 +0000 jenanded 1419593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hugs ))) you look lovely and respectful for your dear friend and how precious life is xx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-15-black-and-navy-for-a-sad-day#post-1419551 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 06:10:13 +0000 Ingunn 1419551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so sorry for your loss, and for his wife and children.

It always gives me pause when I want to send a silent message that's respectful and honoring of a friend&nbsp;whom&nbsp;I really admired. You definitely achieved on all counts. I hope he knew how much you respected him and I'm sure his family appreciated your presence. But I know the feeling -- loss is loss and sometimes it just sucks. Be nice to yourself, okay? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-15-black-and-navy-for-a-sad-day#post-1419535 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 05:21:25 +0000 CocoLion 1419535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, stories like these really give me pause. &nbsp;And make me grateful to be breathing. &nbsp;Your outfit is polished and respectful, hitting the perfect note for the occasion. </p>
