My daughter Iris left this world late Friday evening after valiantly battling bone cancer for almost 2 years.

Here is what I'm planning to wear to her service.

Dark teal dress because I know this is her favorite color even though most people think her favorite is purple when really purple is just an ok color that is readily commercially available.

Blush blazer because I've only worn it a time or two and while I wore it she told me over and over how much she liked it. It felt a little ott to me, which is a concept she continually tells me is all in my head and no one else thinks that.

My new Elizabeth Suzann top, because it has a soft nubby texture that made her say oooooOOOoO! And she loves when I wear things that feel good to touch.

Necklace for no meaning other thank bling and sparkle.

The booties I'm going to try to paint gold, for childhood cancer awareness. If I don't get them done in time I'll just buy some gold footwear.

It sounds weird, but my wardrobe has been my retreat during her illness. I appreciated all of you being there to play in my closet with me during the hardest time of my life. I know if anyone can understand that, it's you ladies.
