Funeral clothing – help!

I’m not exactly an expert on funerals. I think I’ve been to three in my life… and for two of those I wasn’t even in my teens yet! As such, I have no idea what one is supposed to wear (other than black), and even less of an idea what one should wear as c lose family member who will have to shake everyone’s hands at the end! The last time I was a close family member at a funeral was my step mum’s, I was 12 and just wore what my mother had given me. So, dear readers, I need yourI help. Which of the following outfits is most suitable to wear for my grandpa’s funeral?

Exhibit A:

Or exhibit B:

(Sorry, that photo is terrible! I hope you can work out what it’s meant to show anyway… basically it’s a long black skirt with a black, three-quarter sleeve blouse.)

I’m afraid the dress might be too casual, but the other outfit might be a bit too formal for a crematorium (the last time I wore that skirt was for an evening do!). Any comments appreciated!!

Resistance is futile…

A few months ago, when Jan commented that I had bought a lot of dresses recently, I promised I wouldn’t buy any more this year. So when I spotted another one that I liked, instead of clicking purchase I added it to my wishlist to buy in the new year. A few weeks later, Amazon recommended that exact dress to me again (although it was on my wishlist), but this time it had been reduced to €12.99. Obviously I was meant to buy it. I mean, just look at how adorable it is… could you resist?

Have you bought anything recently that you didn’t need but couldn’t resist? Please tell me I’m not the only one with no willpower… Also, if anyone can tell me how to take a decent photo of myself in a dress it would be very much appreciated!
