Many people were in capris, tennis shoes, jeans, flowered sandals, even a halter mini dress. My husband chastised me for (wearing) red shoes.
DEAR MISS MANNERS: My husband and I are at the age where we are going to more funerals than weddings. The last one we attended, I wore a knee-length black skirt, a black-and-white blouse and some kitten-heeled red shoes for a pop of color. My husband wore nice leather shoes, khakis and a tucked-in blue button-down shirt.
My husband chastised me for the red shoes. Once and for all, what is proper funeral attire, since what we are doing is celebrating the life of the deceased? She assures you that dark formal clothes are proper. And that if your husband is going to chastise you for red shoes, he should at least have the decency not to wear blue and tan himself.DEAR MISS MANNERS: My husband and I were housesitting for friends in a town that was a short drive from his sister, “Lacey,” and brother-in-law, “Tuck.” We invited them to come over for dinner one evening, which they did. I didn’t know them well, although I had heard that Tuck was volatile and argumentative.
I couldn’t take it anymore, so I said I was going to clean up the kitchen and I left the game. I didn’t say anything about them, just that I was going to take care of the dishes.
