Like most girls my age, I used to wear jeans and novelty T-shirts exclusively. I would only wear a dress or skirt for special occasions, before which I would have to dash off to a store with my mom to find an appropriate outfit. Each time, due to time constraints, I would have to settle on an outfit that was either slightly ill-fitting or just not my normal style, so each outfit would only get a few uses.
When I started working, I started phasing T-shirts out of my wardrobe. Occasionally, I purchased a dress or skirt, but I didn’t wear them too often. About a half a year later, I started feeling like wearing dresses about the same time that I started dating my boyfriend. He told me he liked the dresses, and I was surprised that I was liking dresses a lot too.
Now, for the last two or three months, I’ve been wearing dresses almost exclusively. This required purchasing a lot (too many?) dresses so that I can manage to wear dresses everyday without wearing the same few repeatedly until I hate them. During this time, I have come to realize several reasons I like dresses more than pants, which is something that surprises even me.
