More than 27 dresses

So, as you may already know, I am a dress collector. Well, dresses and skirts. Basically, I love how classy and feminine they are. Plus they are more comfortable than pants.

Since I wear skirts and dresses at least a few times every week, I occasionally have co-students ask me why I'm dressed so fancy. Tuesdays at school are pretty common to see people in church dress, because we have a weekly devotional in the I-Center. But when I wear dresses and skirts on other days, people seem surprised.

I made a comment to a friend a few weeks back that I could probably wear a different skirt or dress every day of the month (haha), but then I actually counted how many dresses and skirts I own and accepted my own personal challenge. November 1st began the month of dresses:
