Hi, a very important person in my life died today. tomorrow I have school, what should I wear? I don't know why but I feel as if I should go all black. what's your opinion and do you have black outfit suggestions?

I'm sorry to hear that. I say go for it. Everyone grieves in their own way, and it's understandable that you don't want to wear a super bright and peppy outfit when you're feeling so sad. Just wear something you feel comfortable in.

If you feel like dreessing in black do it. you don't have to but if it makes you feel better do it. I would stay home and return on monday if I were you but its the end of the year so if you have tests stay strong. I'm sorry for your loss!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know personally how hard it is to loose someone so important to you, but just know it'll get better with time.
As for an outfit, go ahead and wear what you feel! If that's black, do it. I also think it may be fun to dress in their favorite color or something they liked to kind of honor and represent them. Good luck!

I am so sorry! I'd probably take a few days off, and then wear at least one item of black for a week or so. But honestly, you need time to grieve, so stay home a few days.

I'm so sorry for your loss! I hope you're OK. <3 you don't NEED to wear black unless you want to. I would limit how much black you wear if you don't wear too much on a regular basis. it would draw attention to yourself which I can understand you definitely don't want. if you don't feel like dolling yourself up don't. just feel comfortable. <3.

Also I just want to say, if you feel like you need to stay home, and you have that option, do it. But when my grandmother passed away, I actually found it easier to be around people during the first few days. Again, there's no right or wrong, just let yourself feel whatever you're feeling and deal with it how you see fit. Sending you love & good vibes from Cape Town xx

When I lost my cousin I was out of school for a week! When I came back I didn't wear any makeup pulled my hair up! I had yoga pants and a sweat shirt.. I had to wear long sleeves for a certain reason.. But I'm sorry for your lost I'll be praying for you!

R.I.P sweetie, hope everything will be okay soon.
When my cousin died, I took off 2 days of school, but in hindsight it was a bit of a mistake. At home, you're thinking about it far too much, whereas at school you're distracted and are surrounded by your friends. But make sure your mum/dad lets the school know about it, so the teachers make allowances. I'd wear something which reflects the persons personality. My cousins favourite colour was pink, so I wore a lot of that. You can wear black if you want, but I think it's better to wear something which represents them

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind x
