A Little Push

The only person that can really push you that little bit further in life is yourself.
We call that self-motivation no?
(Although i have the most wonderful people in my life to support me every step of the way).

My white dress had gotten very dirty with scuff marks.

Better to see the image larger i think :) oh and by the way, i cropped the original so that the small detail is more visible.
