My maternal grandmother, who raised me as much as my actual mom did, died a couple of days ago, and the funeral is Wednesday morning. Like in 5 hours. Yes, I know I should be sleeping. It's been 11 years since I've had to go to a close family member's funeral, and nothing I try on looks right. I've gained some weight over the past year, so my standard conservative black dress is now tight and cleavage-causing, and looks weird without good posture, so heels are necessary. My only daytime-appropriate black heels are scuffed up strappy platform sandals with a cork base. I also don't have any non-stripper jewelry. My grandmother was a Saints fan, so I should be fine wearing cheap official NFL fleur-de-lis earrings, right?
People are going to look at me no matter what I wear or do. I have tan skin (I was always the darkest in my family, and I maintain it for work) and platinum hair and obvious tattoos. I'm significantly taller than my siblings and cousins. I just want some advice on blending in/deflecting attention. People should be mourning my grandmother, not checking me out.
