So, she’d try on this one, she came out of the dressing room and she says, “Well what do you think of this?” I was only fourteen and I wasn’t very mature or gracious yet, I didn’t know how to open doors for women, or buy flowers and things like that. So, I said, “Well it looks complicated.” Because this was a time when fashion was really going down hill, and people were mixing kind of paisley, and floral, and tweed, and denim and things like that. So it was, it was just all over the place. Cause I think, at that time Madonna was kind of like, the fashion role model for most women. So anyway, um, she said, “No you’re supposed to say the dress looks nice on you.” So, that’s what she told me, and she taught me a lot of things about that. About how to talk to a woman, and what to say and what not to say. So years later I figured this out, and that’s when I wrote this song about that." — Sufjan Stevens (talking about his older girlfriend he had during his freshman year of high school and how The Dress Looks Nice On You came about) from his show on March 10th, 2004 (via seventhbrother)
