I am attending a funeral tomorrow for a co-worker's daughter. She was 30.

He's the director of purchasing, and we've worked together for 14 years. I have to go. I don't want to go.

I'm wearing a traditional black suit from Sejour and black booties.

I'm thinking I'd wear an EF silk tee underneath. Does this have to be black, too? Could I get away with a berry or purple/blue?

I have a black one, if need be, and I want to be respectful.

I never met her, but even now I'm tearing up for my co-worker. No father should have to bury his daughter.
