Fashion Quote by Ilsa Madden-Mills
““What do you have on?" he seethed back, glaring at my dress. "You don't like it? I didn't think you noticed." He rubbed his face with his hands and then stared at the dress. "If there was ever a fucking dress I've ever noticed, it's that one," he muttered out. "You're not wearing it to the party.””
