Lost confidence in dressing

Cream linen jacket with navy trousers.
You haven’t mentioned the most important ( for me) the shoes. ?
I always start with the shoes.
You’ll look lovely whatever you choose: you have very good taste.

One classy lady which ever you decide to wear will look right.
The scarf will pull them all together and the pattern very appropriate.
I think a lot of us have lost our confidence at social occasions they have been so few.

Maw, that scarf will make any outfit

Yes, it's lovely

Maw, that scarf will make any outfit. The cream jacket and dark trousers might be forgiving if mud becomes an issue. You’ll look smashing x

Joseanne, I read something similar the other day. Stylish French women wear lingerie to match their clothes. I used to do that when I was teaching. My colleagues used to ask me to show my bra straps to confirm that my standards weren't slipping!
Not any more! . I can't be bothered, that is apart from my hospital visit tomorrow. There are teal shades in my dress, which will be matched to my lingerie!

I know exactly what you mean. I loved clothes and modelled when young. I had the most amazing wardrobe.

Now I am totally clueless.

Love the scarf :O)

I would go with the black trousers simply because if its a woodland burial ground then there might be splashes of mud/dew which would show on the cream trousers.
The scarf is beautiful and so appropriate for a green burial.

I like the sound of the darker jackets to accentuate the colours in the soft scarf.
I hope you find your flair for dressing elegantly again. I was reading the other day that nice lingerie, underneath an outfit, can also make you feel more confident in your own skin, so to speak.

I'm the least stylish person to give advice so I'd be guided by your DD and find out if MIL's family are tending to wear black with a touch of colour or other subdued colours - or perhaps even brighter clothes.

DH went to a funeral recently where the deceased had requested in her funeral instructions "no black at all please".

I agree, the black linen jacket, beige trousers, white top and the scarf in the picture will work well, Maw. ?

I agree with Marydoll, from some of your posts (and occasional pictures), I have always thought you have style and flair.

Am sure whatever you choose will look great. You sound to have lots to choose from, (not intended as a criticism, but good to have choices).

The scarf is lovely...all outfit combinations sound just fine

I think black jacket with white and the lovely scarf to bring it together.

I think my decision making powers were a casualty of the pandemic. I find it hard to make any decisions now, not just about dressing.
I think I'd choose the black jacket ensemble,
Maw, with your gorgeous scarf.
I hope everything goes as well as possible on Friday.

PS, I love the scarf!!

Maw, I remember pre pandemic, you used to post pictures of items, you had bought and I thought you looked very stylish.

I know what you mean about being undecided. I have the hospital tomorrow and after much angst, still haven't decided what to wear..
