No black to be worn at my friends dads funeral

if you are worrying so much that it is upsetting you then why not wear black but with a bright scarfe,poncho,shawl,flower in your hair, handbag etc.if money is such a problem then i am sure your friend will understand or why not go to a charity, thrift shop. you will pick up a bargain and you just need to wear it for the day.also a bow fixed to your shoes will look bright and cheerful.i am sure you will not be alone in wearing black and after all your friend will be pleased that you came to say farewell to her dad. to know yousupported her in this time of grief will be the all important thing not what you wore. good luck.

I guess they do not want those who look good only in black to attend. So all you do is to call them and say "I look like a washed out ghoul unless I wear black," and then if they insist, say "sorry, but I guess I cannot go since when the photos are taken around the graveyard, the camera will break or the photographer will go into shocks and convulsions." It might work.

So how did it go ?

do your frinds have any brightly coloured tops you could borrow,you could wear that with black trousers,or a bright scarf thing,not sure what they are called but they look like a shawl that you sort of wrap loosly round your neck,my daughter has got a couple and they look quite nice

well im not completely shore if you are a boy are a girl do to the lack of info on your profile but if you cant where black just were something casual as if you were going to an interview but back shore the colors are bland and casual to such as blue dark blue can resemble black close white gray a bu-ten down with t-shirt under neath is also good and you could were flip-flops with that if its a gray,dark-blue,or a dark shirt under neath bu-ten down now most of the things i just said are for guys but you can still use the concept to give you an idea hope this helped. by itachi12

Im Sorry for your friend. But if you can find just the simplest clothes to wear cause it doesn't really matter how gorgeous you look on it. Its just that you made an effort to attend and to show your concern.

I am sure whatever you wear will be ok. Do you have something in a dark blue or something like that. Good luck in finding something.

Do you wear only black and no other colour? What about other darker shades… I think if you have planned on something to wear and this is a close friend, you can speak to him/her and explain the situation…this should not be an issue among friends who understand each other. You can wear shoes means you cant even wear strappy open sandals?

ya lets sure hope it dont rain and you will find something to wear I am sure

Maybe you can borrow something from a friend or go to a thrift store and grab something. I hope it does not rain too for your sake. Best of luck to you in finding something to wear. If nothing else could you not wear a scarf or something wrapped around a huge portion of a black dress? Just an idea. They can not fault you if they know that's all you have. I wouldn't.

that is sort of cool that they have requested that no one wear black. hope you find something to wear!

If you don't have anything other than dark to wear, surely your friend will understand. It's caring about the friend enough to remember his/her father that's important, not what you wear.

Hi jugs...I would not buy a new outfit in bright colors to wear for one occasion, since you prefer to dress in darker colors. I think you should wear what you have, and try to brighten it up with accessories. I'm sure your friend will understand. She is, after all, your friend. A bright scarf, or perhaps a colorful vest or sweater, a bolero jacket? I'm sure you'll come up with something.

It is always the strangest, most unexpected things in this world that make us change things, like our wardrobe, that we take for granted.

You only have black? If you don't bright colors look for navy blue.

Its only once in a lifetime you are required not to wear black. Just respect the tradition for once and go with it. Go purchase new clothing that isn't black, go rob, go beg and do whatever necessary. Its just this one time.
