Funeral this morning

[Zardoz]

One of my co-workers at the craft shop passed away earlier this week after a long bout with cancer. Miss Nancy was our floral designer, and she loved color and flowers, so I thought it would be nice to wear the Bluebonnet tartan to her service. I paired it with green jacket and hose, pale grey shirt and black flashes and necktie. Trying for a 'colorful' and 'subtle' daywear look.


I was wondering how my other co-workers would react, since they've never seen me kilted in person, only in pictures from renfare etc.. But since they know I'm crazy anyway, nobody was too shocked. Several folks approached me after the service to say how much Nancy would have liked the outfit.

Very appropriate and respectful.

A beautiful way to honor the memory of her.

I see nothing wrong with that outfit at all - light and bright, but overall respectful.

First off, my condolences.

I think dressing in a way that the deceased would have appreciated is a very important part of showing one's respect at a funeral. Unfortunately, I've been to two funerals this summer. In both cases, I didn't feel that a kilt would have pleased the person who had passed. They might not have minded, but that's not the point.

Condolences Zardoz and sorry for your loss! Your choice of attire was spot on for a funeral (IMHO).
