Sorry to hear your sad news Astrid. Parkinson's is such a nasty disease.
Your outfit will be very appropriate for the funeral.

Oh, I am so sorry. I think your outfit is perfectly appropriate, even with the necklace.

I am so sorry you lost your beloved grandfather. Maybe sharing stories of him with the rest of the family will ease your grief.

The outfit is eminently appropriate, with or without you understated jewelry.

So sorry Astrid. The outfit seems appropriate.

I' m sorry you lost your opa. Your outfit looks great on you and appropriate. I hope that you and your family have many happy memories.

Thank you all so much. I think I'm going to wear the necklace, he would have liked it. I'll take it with me in any case.

Alana, I think I will stick with the tights, I've just bought a new pair of these on sale and they are the best ones I have. And they are fairly warm while still showing a bit of skin so the lower part of the outfit doesn't look too "heavy".

I'm glad I was home recently and could spent some time with him. And going back to Berlin I said goodbye properly. We lived in the same house as my grandparents since I was 11, until I moved out. Lots of memories of going for walks, doing the crossword together and watching Star Trek on Thursdays...

I hope my Oma is doing alright. My mum says she's thrown herself into organizing.

My condolences Astrid. Grandparents have special role in our lives and losing them is hard. I am so glad you had relatively good closure and good bye, as far as those go. That will make a lot of difference for you in the future.

I also hope your Oma is fine.

You look perfectly appropriate for the funeral. Just have something for the rain ready, it started in our neck of woods.

Condolences to you and all of your family....tough stuff to deal with for all concerned. I think you look fine for the funeral. Really hope it is a nice service for him. Look after your Mum and Grandmother won't you.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Astrid. I'll be thinking of you and your family.

Hi Astrid ~ I am so sorry for the loss of your dear Opa. I think your outfit is lovely and very appropriate. Take good care of yourself.

Thank you all. I'm on the way already. The connection this evening was so much better than the ones tomorrow. Very short notice, but I packed little. I took the outfit as shown, but decided to leave the bag in Berlin as I won't really need it (my skirt pockets should be sufficient).

Ornella, we'll take umbrellas if it looks like rain, so that's covered.

Sorry for your loss Astrid! You look perfectly appropriate and lovely!

Granparents can be such dear treasures, particularly when your childhood memories of full of their presence. I'm sorry you have to deal with this loss. I pray that you find comfort in your gathering family, and will be able to helpful and supportive to your mom and oma while you're home.

You will look elegant and understated -- which is just right for the occasion.

Condolences on the loss of your Opa, Astrid.

Sorry for your loss. Hugs.

I am so very sorry to hear about your Opa, Astrid. I am thinking of you, your Oma and your family, and hope that the countless happy memories will help you all get through this difficult time a little easier.
(Your outfit is perfect).

Warm hugs,
Inge

May your dear Opa rest in peace. It's so very hard losing a loved one. My condolences to you and your family, Astrid. (Great funeral outfit). Much love. xo

Thank you all. I'm glad I was able to go home so soon, just to be there and to give some support. We now know that the funeral is going to be on Friday.

I did find another top after all, I saw this when we were looking for clothes for my mum and it works perfectly tucked into the skirt and under the blazer. And it looks complete without the blazer, which is a good thing because it's supposed to get really warm at the end of the week.

Sincere condoleances Astrid, it's always hard when relatives so close are gone....Your outfit looks perfectly appropiate. No need to go shopping. I know, that can be hard when dealing with sadness of this kind, but the top you showed above is also great!

It's a beautiful top, Astrid. I will be thinking of you on Friday.
