Hi girls

I don't think there's any strict dress code nowadays but I would feel disrespectful in "normal" clothes, some of them looked like they were going to a party, but I suppose we weren't brought up that way

this afternoon, didn't go to the funeral because OH is still not 100% fit yet, but went to the wake. The poor chap was only 57 and died of cancer, he was just a friend really, didn't know him too well but wanted to pay our respects.

The thing is we went in Black and were the only ones there that did so and I felt embarrassed. Is it not the thing to go in black to go to a funeral any more????
