Last weekend, my boyfriend and I went to a funeral. His father's brother had died at a ripe old age after living a beautiful life so it wasn't necessarily a sad day, but it was a strange day. A big family gathering and a moment of mourning: ambiguous feelings all around. The service was VERY catholic and weird and I stuck out like a sore thumb, but I did enjoy going undercover at a church service since I had never attended one before. I was dressed appropriate, modest and in black, and I loved my outfit so much I kept wearing it for a witchy theme-shoot in our local cemetery. Don't worry, not the one my guy's uncle was buried, that would be majorly inappropriate.
I'm wearing dark lipstick again btw, I'm totally getting this look down.
I absolutely adore the pale pink shade my ends have faded to. It looks so good against the all-black outfit. I usually don't like all black on me because it looks so bland and boring with my brown hair, but my dyed ends give the look so much more depth.
My outfit was inspired by two of my favorite bloggers, Jenny and Annalise since it was Annalise's birthday and she was throwing a goth-party that I sadly couldn't attend since there's an ocean in between us, but I thought of her! Happy birthday!

de derde foto is echt prachtig! wauw :) en ben helemaal gek op je strik-shawl dingetje!
ReplyDeleteof wacht, zie ik nu dat die strik aan de jurk vastzit? hoe dan ook heel erg tof!
ReplyDeleteyes, de strik zit vast aan de jurk! :-) thanks!
ReplyDeleteyes! Your are the most adorable witchy woman! I wish an ocean didn't separate us, because I am sure we would have many fun adventures. As you know, I am the biggest fan of black on black. And the patterned tights are the perfect match for this ensemble! <3
ReplyDeleteThat's a really attractive look that works for you. The lip-shade is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI LOVEEEE this outfit!!! It is perfection!!!
ReplyDeletebut aww...that's so sad about your boyfriend's uncle :( That's good that it wasn't entirely sad though

These are really nice photos. I love the dark red lipstick on you too.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm sorry that your bf's uncle died. But at least he lived a good long life.
Beautiful dress <3
ReplyDeleteOh, Annebeth, you would have fit in just perfectly at the party. I'm sorry that this outfit was created for a bit more somber occasion. Jenny is right though, the tights add just the right amount of texture to give the look some depth, as does your beautiful hair.
ReplyDeleteXOXO
Ohh this dress is gorgeous, I'm sorry that it had to be for a funeral. I feel so awkward at those ceremonies sometimes, I just want a big old party when I die. Totally digging that colour lips on you

I love your witchy look, the bow on the dress and the shoes are great! And the pink ends definitely add a little something.. I'm so tempted to try it out myself :P xx
ReplyDeleteBeautifiul black look.

Sorry to hear about the death in the family, but this is a really nice outfit. I like the big black bow.
ReplyDeleteDef a witchy outfit indeed & what a beautiful cemetary. I also like how your ends have faded to a "discreet" pink. It's def an odd feeling that my words can't describe when someone dies naturally after a wonderful, long life. I like how a few cultures actually throw parties, although that seems a bit tough to handle to me, celebrating without the person there.
ReplyDeleteI have never stuck out so much in my life as in a Catholic service- probably didn't help that I was the only blonde. Craziness! I am alos loving how your hair is fading, it looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but I don't think it's respectful to think about how your outfit looks & even take pictures of it when you're at a funeral ????
ReplyDeleteI totally understand where you're coming from :-) but these pictures weren't taken at the actual funeral, but at another cemetery alltogether. Also, I personally think mostly everyone does try to dress nice, classy and puttogether for a funeral. And on top of that, the funeral was for someone unrelated to me: a family member of my boyfriend who he hadn't met in some 20 odd years. Since none of the related parties knows I took these pictures and posted them (only link to the funeral being this is the outfit I wore to a funeral) I decided to go ahead with it. I did think about it twice though :) I hope this sets things straight?
