I feel all undecided and I'm agonising about what to wear for a funeral tomorrow - can anyone help?

It's my Nana's funeral - she was 91 and it was time for her to go

I want to celebrate her life but my family are a bit more traditional

She hated me wearing black & her favourite colour was blue (she left me her sapphire engagement ring)

She liked me wearing pink

I'm dithering aren't I?

Sorry to hear of your loss.
Wear what your Nana would like to see you in. Did she like to see you in a particular outfit - if so, then that's the one I would pick.
Hope the day goes well.

If she hated you wearing black then IMO you should wear what you think she'd like you in

How about a dark blue - respectful, but you know she would have liked it.

I'd wear blue or pink .. so long as its smart

Make sure your family know the reason

Katy - Sorry for your loss.

Wear what you feel comfortable in and what your nan would have liked you to wear. It really doesnt matter what nayone else thinks.

I'm so sorry. My nan was one for tradition so had to go in black.
I think you hould definately wear the ring and is there an outfit that she liked you in? Or commented on? Or that you just think she'd like?
Hope it all goes smoothly.
Whatever you wear will be fine.

Perhaps a pink or blue scarf or top under a smarter dark jacket?

I'm probably so confused because I want to please everyone

I get so that just when I pick something, I second guess myself

Thanks for all your kind thoughts

If you have anything in navy, it would be one way of compromising. But really, this is your chance to say goodbye to your Nana, it's about you and her, wear something she (and you) would both like - and definitely the ring . All the best for today.

I wore a brow linen suit that she liked I felt good

I feel a real sense of closure and am glad today is over

Thanks all
