Peri, that is exactly how I was feeling but not able to put it into words. I didn’t want to wear black or be too somber, because I didn’t know her. I can certainly relate to a parent’s pain though and want to be respectful of the family and friends that are really grieving.
I really appreciate all of your helpful comments and suggestions, I feel comfortable in this dress with the gray accessories.
Looks really appropriate. I don’t think it matters which way the handbag is. I think the light boots or sandals and light bag would be fine as well. In the first set I preferred the dress without the belt because I think the belt draws the eye too much for the situation.
I feel sorry for your friends
Looks very appropriate. I agree with others that lower contrast subdued etc are the way to go for you in this particular situation (not knowing the deceased and what she may have preferred - she could have friends who make other choices that work for their feelings or the relationship they had). In the first outfit I read the belt as gold at a glance and that’s something that could appear ‘festive’ or less appropriate. It’s not something I would judge you on either here or at such an event but your final outfit just lands better IMHO.
