Do you have a favorite dress that you have had for many years.. a dress that has remained "in style" and wearable year after year? A dress that you keep coming back to for last minute events?
I have a dress like that. It's definitely a favorite fit of mine.
I bought it FIVE years ago from the J.Crew wear-to-work line.

It's one of their "Super 120's" line of tailored dresses made of merino wool. The majority of the dresses in this line are gray or black- i.e. business professional of course. But they always carry one or two fun colors which suit my personal style a bit better, while maintaining a classic, conservative look that lasts year after year.
This magenta dress has seen a lot of plays, went to a lot of dinners, and probably attended a wedding or two. The classic tailored fit has allowed me to continue wearing this dress year after year. I have changed the way that I accessorize- (this time it was a turquoise J.Crew bubble necklace, courtesy of LL. Thanks for the necklace!)- but the look is basically the same.
This favorite fit came out again last week when the D-man and I went to see Aida (thanks to his company for the tickets). I am pretty sure this dress enjoyed the Elton John and Tim Rice musical as much as I did!
If you check out J.Crew right now, the Memo 120's dress is on sale for $129.99 with an extra 30% off, which comes to about $99 for a dress you'll wear again and again!
Available in fun colors like landscape green or poppy grove.
