There are dresses that while easy to throw on make you look and feel much more pulled together than the most complicated ensemble. Dresses that seem imbued with a certain charm that appeal to your spirit long before you've worn them enough to tie them to specific memories and significant events. Maybe these dresses don't even bring you compliments from strangers or a smile to your lips (smiles are overrated anyway), but still these dresses are special. You'll wear them until they fall to pieces and people tease you about how often they've seen you in them. They will go out of style, if they were ever in it, but it won't matter because their relation to culturally constructed concepts of style was never relevant to you. What makes certain dresses this way? I hardly know, but they're the sort of pieces I want to fill my wardrobe with.
