One year when it was my birthday, I pulled out a dress to show my best friend that I wanted to wear to the party. She said, “Oh my gosh it's so beautiful! Aren't you afraid you'll get it dirty.” I replied, “That just means I had a party and I had a really great time.” I felt like that was the reason for having a beautiful dress, was to actually be able to wear it.
