My jersey dresses are the workhorses of my wardrobe, and I try to never feel guilty about buying new ones (because I know they'll be worn at least every few weeks). They're unbeatably comfy, easy to dress up with quirkier pieces, and you can wear them in almost all seasons. While the "Velvet" brand knit dresses sold at Anthro are lovely, and I have quite a few, I am always really excited to find cheapy ones (even though they pill a bit faster and are a smidgen less nice).
Happily, Forever 21 has LOADS of knit dresses right now...long-sleeved ones, sleeveless, lots of colors...and all on the cheap:
I wore a few of my recent F21 dresses yesterday and today:
It's so great how they can be sassed up so easily with pretty accessories...

I recently bought a great jersey dress at Target that I loved so much I asked my husband to pick one up in a different color the next time he ran out to Target. I've never really been into them before but now I know what you're talking about. So comfy and also stylish!

Forever21 is the best for those (when they are long enough!) I have that middle one, only in redish-orange. :D

Yours is a closet I'd love to sift through, like a kid in a candy store. So many pretties!

I know this may sound like a very personal question, but with all this talk of jersey (clingy) dresses would you mind sharing what kind of underwear you reccomend to wear under them (obviously not pictures necessary ;) )?

Darn it!! This post really made me want to go to Forever 21 and get some more clothes (esp. dresses), and I actually went to the mall with that goal in mind today, but they closed the store at my local mall!!!
They are great though. I have got to find another of their shops to go to.
