Shoot the most expensive dress I’ve had was my prom dress and it was jovani it was absolutely stunning and I fell in love with it the moment I put it on and I didn’t see the price tag first so I took it off and put it to the side my mom asked about it and I said it’s too much don’t worry but she made me put it on again and she told me it was pretty and I tried on another dress, I came out and she said what are you doing I already bought the dress and I cried so hard honestly. She told me after losing 135lbs that I deserved to look as beautiful as she always believed I was. It’s crazy looking back on that day I am still so very appreciative of my mama for everything she has done for me
