Not sure what you're getting at. My comment looks to me like it was voicing agreement to his conclusion from my experience. I have no feelings of "that's as it should be" or "that's stupid" wrt to the fashion thing, it's just how it is.

Before I had that experience, I didn't think dress mattered all that much. Now I do. Looking back at my cognitive state and justification for believing what I believed, it looks like I was pretending it didn't matter, at least on some level.
