Coming in at #4 - The Green Dress
This dress was purchased in 1988, just as I was getting ready to finish college. It cost me $70 and is well made. I think I like it mostly because it was one of my first "expensive" purchases as an "adult." I also remember buying it the same summer my sister met her husband. I so got a dress and she got married.
#3 - The blue dress
I bought this one in the early 90's and just liked the way it fit. As with all of these dresses the shoulder pads are HUGE! But that was the style.
#2 - The Green Poka Dot dress
This dress reminded me of Julia Robert's dress in Pretty Woman. I bought it around 1992. You remeber it--the brown one with poka dots that she wore to the polo match. I loved this dress because I thought it made me look taller and thinner. The back has a criss-cross tie that makes the dress come in at the waist. I would still wear this dress--maybe I just need to take out the shoulder pads???? What do you think?
And at #1 - I don't know what to call this one.
Worn in 1994-95 and I loved it! It fit me and I just felt good in it. This is too dated to wear again, but I still have it. :)
Funny how we save certain things. Unfortuntely, while I still fit these dresses, the jeans I wore at that time are long gone. Jeans are not quite as forgiving. :)

i think all the dresses are keepers except for dress 3....please don't wear that. and dress number 4 can be spiced up with a cute belt, if you're asking for my opinion.
I'm impressed you changed nylons with the different dresses. I've gotten rid of my old dresses, but sometimes I'll see an old picture and think, "Oh, I remember that dress!" (Most likely, if you keep the dresses, they'll be in style again at some point.)
What a great post! You've done better than I have in keeping your old favorites. I tend to keep my fashions for awhile but then they're tossed into the goodwill pile.
What GREAT memories though! I actually really like the "Pretty Woman" look alike dress. And you never know. Things you never thought would come back in style really do come back. Take bell bottoms and skinny jeans...
This post made me happy since I do the exact same types of posts. Only I have Luke take the pictures and he whines and complains!!
I love that you changed your pantyhose too.
You are so lucky you still fit in all those and some look big on you!! I say keep wearing the polka dot one and the last one. YOu look good in it!
I remember the green dress. Loved that dress.(Check with me before you give it away....) I think you could still wear the pretty woman dress.
